* p<0.1, ** p<0.05, *** p<0.01. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the département level. This table shows the result of regressing the poverty dummy on mechanism variables measuring either housing conditions or occupational exposure and the interaction of these variables via the variable multigenerational household. The poverty dummy is equal to one for the bottom 25% of the national distribution of municipal median income weighted by population size. Each column reports the result of a separate regression examining one mechanism. The main coefficient corresponds to the correlation between each of the mechanism variable and poverty. The mechanism variables have been standardized such that coefficients can be interpreted in terms of the effect of a one standard-deviation change, and can be compared with each other. All regressions include urban areas fixed-effects and control for total population and for the share of inhabitants over 65 y.o. in the municipality.
