ns Not significant. | |||
1. About 10% of respondents provided inconsistent answers to the two questions about pension coverage and are treated as a separate category. | |||
Note: Percentage point differences in this table are to be interpreted by comparing them to the reference group for each characteristic. For instance, it is predicted that women will be 3.5% points more likely than men to state that they don't know or are not at all certain about their planned age for retiring. | |||
