*Adjusted weeks receiving public transfer payments in 1 year horizon for women, 55 years, married/coliving, Danish ethnicity, low education and living in the Capital Region estimated using a generalised estimating equation gamma regression model for repeated measures including sex, age, marital status, ethnicity, education and region as covariates. Because of no convergence in the model following covariates were omitted: ‘Early retirement’: sex, marital status, ethnicity, education and region; ‘Rehabilitation’: age, marital status, ethnicity and education; ‘Education’: age, marital status, ethnicity and education. Adjusted weeks receiving public transfer payments in 3-year horizon for women, 55 years and low education estimated using a generalised estimating equation gamma regression model for repeated measures including sex, age and education as covariates. Because of no convergence in the model, following covariates were omitted: ‘Sheltered employment’: sex and education; ‘Disability pension’: sex and education; ‘Early retirement’: age.
