Source: Swiss Household Panel 2013 and 2016, own calculations. Notes: The table shows estimated and actual proportions of the sample within each social participation class. For example, the estimated proportion of individuals that falls into class 1 is 21.2%. The actual proportion of the sample that falls into this class is 23.7%, based on assigning an individual to that class where his/her predicted probability is the highest.
