*p<0.05; **p<0.01, using cluster robust SEs if not stated otherwise. All regression models include a constant and the full set of control variables, including GDP per capita in purchasing power adjusted amounts, social spending as percentage of GDP, self-rated health in 2006, age, sex, employment status (employed, unemployed, inactive, student) and family type (single person, lone parent, couple without children and two-parent family with children).
†Using an alternative coding of self-rated health where the ‘fair’ response category is included in the ‘good health’ category.
‡Random intercept multilevel logistic regression (xtlogit command in Stata) without panel weights.
CEE countries, Central and Eastern European countries; GDP, gross domestic product; South countries, Southern European countries; Ui, unemployment insurance; Δ, change between 2006 and 2009.
