[i] Notes: CI = confidence interval. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05. Models 2 and 3 are stratified by year, region and weekly working hours at last employment and adjusted for age, age2, union status, parity, ln(income), sector of last employment, partner employment status, partner income and endogamy. Full table including all covariates is presented in the supplementary material (Table A2).
