Note: All regressions include own characteristics (age, log-hourly wage, completed years of education, a good health status indicator, a sedentary-job type indicator, and -for women- a recent pregnancy indicator), household non-labor income, number of children, state and year fixed effects. Robust standard errors clustered at the household id level are reported in parentheses. Sampling weights are used.
