Education (secondary or higher vs. none) | −0.55 | <.001 | −0.24 | .007 | −0.27 | <.001 |
Household wealth (highest vs. lowest quintile) | −0.61 | <.001 | −0.43 | <.001 | −0.17 | .003 |
Residential area (urban vs. rural area) | −0.42 | <.001 | −0.19 | .002 | −0.20 | <.001 |
Union status (in union vs. not in union) | 0.75 | <.001 | 0.17 | .21 | 0.48 | <.001 |
Agea | −0.05 | .46 | −0.36 | <.001 | 0.28 | <.001 |

↵a Disparity by age or administrative unit represents the largest possible absolute gap among all sub-groups. All disparity measures are among women in union, except disparity by union status which is among all women.
↵b Multivariate models include 2 covariates: year and national average.
Note: Sample size for regression is 213 surveys from 55 countries, except disparity by union status where only 161 surveys from 45 countries were available for analysis.
