Notes: The dependent variable is a dummy that takes a value of 1 if a household has at least one member employed in each employment category and 0 otherwise. Drought refers to the pre-survey year and the pre-survey growing season. Household controls include age, gender and education of the household head, household size, land size and use of financial services. Weather controls include temperature shock, average monthly temperature and average monthly rainfall. Cluster robust standard errors are shown in parentheses.
