Note: For all controls included see Tables 5–7 in the appendix.
aWald test: Model A, comparing this model with a model with only controls; Model B comparing with Model A; and Model C comparing with Model B. df = degrees of freedom (indicates the number of additional variables in the respective model compared with the previous). For the multinomial regression, this number is doubled because there is a Cohabitation versus Marriage model and a Single versus Marriage model (see Appendix).
