The effects of parental education level, family structure and neighbourhood of residence, and its interactions on the probability of completing secondary education at age 21 among individuals in family groups of more than one child (N = 16,170)–three level logistic regression models estimated by mixed effects method, STATA/MP software.

Summary

Introduction

There is an error in the first sentence of the Results section in the Abstract. The correct sentence is: Completion rates were significantly higher within families with higher education level (82% in tertiary educated families vs. 67% and 56% in secondary and primary educated families respectively) and were strongly correlated within families (ICC = 39.6) and neighbourhoods (ICC = 5.7). For the “Neighbourhood variance (95% CI)” and “Family variance (95% CI) levels”, the proportional change in variance (PCV) and median odds ratio (MOR) values in Model 6 are incorrectly omitted.
