Notes. Table 8 reports the coefficients and standard errors from OLS regressions of change in labor migrant status (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. The sample in columns 4 to 6 is restricted to members resident in the DSA at HSE1 who live with at least one other resident adult at HSE1.
