  1. For each dependent variable, we regress the dependent variable on dummies for age, gender, and household. Each cell is the fraction of the total sum of squares in the dependent variable that can be explained by the row variable in the model (the partial sum of squares divided by the total sum of squares). The model row contains the explained sum of squares as a fraction of the total sum of squares. Pooled results are estimated by combining all survey data and weighting by the inverse sampling probability for each individual. Africa restricts the sample to countries listed as such in Table 1. Non-Africa restricts the sample to the remaining countries.
