1. Model also includes very small categories ‘first generation other Europe’ and ‘second generation other Europe’ for control purposes (coefficient are presented in S6 Appendix).

2. Model includes also a series of country dummy variables and round dummy variables:

Exponents of coefficients are: ESS2 = 1.08, ESS3 = 0.89*. ESS4 = 0.87*, ESS5 = 1.02, Switzerland = 1.93*, Germany = 0.78*, Denmark = 0.92, France = 0.92, UK = 0.62*, Netherlands = 1.64*, Norway = 0.81, Sweden = 1.07

3. Middle Level of Education is comparison category

4. Native population is comparison category
