  2. Wage: nominal monthly wage in euro, mean over (median of) all observations of the sample. Age: mean age in years. Working: f-t = full-time; p-t = part-time. Education: low = no vocational training; medium = vocational training; high = university (of applied sciences)
  3. Only wages above the marginal earnings threshold are taken into account
  4. Due to missings in working-time and education, percentages do not sum up to 100%
