aGender parity is defined as the woman being equally or more empowered than the main man in the household; estimated using logistic regression

bEstimated using multinomial logit, with base defined as households where woman and man are equally empowered. Marginal effects reported, standard errors in parentheses. (=1) represents dummy variables and coefficients denote the effect of a discrete change in the dummy variable from 0 to 1

* p < 0.10, ** p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. p < 0.01
