Summary of multilevel regression models with ideal age for parenthood as the outcome variable.

Predictor variables are subscripted with a 1 if they are at the level of the individual respondent, and a 2 if they are at the neighbourhood level. Reference categories are ‘9–11’ for age group and ‘male’ for sex. Values given are parameter estimates with their standard errors in parentheses. An asterisk indicates that the individual parameter estimate differs from 0 at the 5% level. The pseudo R2 is the proportion of individual-level (level 1) error variance explained by this model compared to an intercept-only model.
