Notes. Table 5 reports the coefficients and standard errors from OLS regressions of change in labor migrant status (HSE2–HSE1) on change in the presence of a resident member age-eligible for the pension (HSE2–HSE1). Also included in each regression are the change in the number of resident members, and the number of days that elapsed between HSE1 and HSE2. The sample is restricted to household members greater than age 17 at HSE1 and less than age 51 at HSE2.
