Source: Nepal Housing and Population Census 2011. Note: This table shows the summary statistics for the sample used in the analysis, separately for individuals with disability and those without. Except for educational attainment and age at first marriage, the reported numbers are in percentages. The p-values reported in the final column are from the t-test comparing the values for those with disability and those without disability; the null hypothesis is that there is no difference.
