  1. (a) results of multivariate analyses. Variables with p > 0.10 were not included in the model and not reported in the table. thus appear as blank cells
  2. (b) characteristics tested but not significantly associated with the one or the other score: gender, rural/urban place of birth, supplementary income
  3. (c) SEM: standard error of the mean
  4. (d) occupations within the informal sector can be various, but their common point is that they are not declared and thus neither taxed nor monitored by the government. This often corresponds to less stable occupation than within the formal sector
  5. * equivalent in local currency (cfa Franc). 1 Euro = 656 cfa Francs
