Note: Coefficients from Cox Proportional Hazard model. Robust z statistics in parentheses:

+

significant at 10%;

*

significant at 5%;

**

significant at 1%. Errors clustered by 17 regions (Comunidad Autonoma). Dummies for Comunidades Autonomas included in estimates. Stratified by birth cohorts defined as 1. born before 1950; 2. 1950–59; 3. 1960–67; 4. 1968–75; 5. born after 1975. Results are robust to estimating primary education and less than primary education as separate variables and to adding controls for home ownership and religious practice.
