Notes: 1. Coefficients for spouse work hours and its squared term are estimated from models consisting of respondents whose spouses have a paid job. But we obtain similar results if spouse work hour is coded as 0 for respondents whose spouses do not have a paid job.

2. Robust standard errors in parentheses.
