… not applicable * p<0.10, statistically significant at the 10 per cent level ** p<0.05, statistically significant at the 5 per cent level *** p<0.01, statistically significant at the 1 per cent level 1. These models for Switzerland apply to the German and French speaking communities only, since they did not field the problem solving skills domain in the Italian speaking community. Notes: The response variable dichotomizes the population into those not employed full-time for the previous 52 weeks (0) and those employed full-time for the previous 52 weeks (1). Standard errors are of the logarithm of the odds ratios. Odds are adjusted for age, gender, children under age 16 present in the home and educational attainment.
