Turns out kindergarten-ers get socked by the business cycle too:
This study examines the impact of the business cycle on the timing of enrollment. I find that during economic downturns kindergarten enrollment increases. To explore a potential mechanism through which this effect may arise, I propose an instrumental variables approach to identify the causal effect of fluctuations in household resources due to the business cycle on the timing of kindergarten enrollment.
