Notes: The table reports descriptive statistics for key variables used in the study. The Gini coefficient and its spatial component are computed from an asset or wealth index using survey and country weights for 37 countries in 114 waves of the DHS for the period 1990–2018. The economic structure used the employment sector of head of households from the DHS. The share of TVA was computed from World Development Indicators for various issues. The educational attainment refers to the head of the household, computed from the DHS data.
