a Standard deviations are in parentheses and are adjusted for survey clustering and stratification, estimates are weighted. * T-Test suggests Significant Difference from "None" at 5%. # Pearson's Chi-Sq Test, p-value less than 5%. b For explanations on the disability measures, see notes to Table 1. c For explanations on the calculation of the asset index, see the main part of the study. d Explanations for calculations for asset and living condition deprivations follow. For more information, see the main part of the study. - Assets: The assets indicator considers small assets as TVs, radios, telephones (landline or mobile), refrigerators, washers, motorcycles, and big assets as cars or trucks. We require the household to have a car or any two of the other assets to be considered non-deprived. - Electricity: If household does not have electricity. - Drinking water: If water source does not meet the MDG definitions, or is more than 30-minute walk from water source. - Sanitation: If toilet facilities do not meet the MDG definitions, or the toilet is shared. - Flooring: If the floor is dirt or sand. - Cooking Fuel: If they cook with wood, charcoal, or dung. e PCE quintiles for non-medical expenditures were calculated for all working-age households. HH stands for Household.
