چکیده
In 1993, the IFLS began tracking more than 7,000 households living in one of 13 provinces representative of 83% of the Indonesian population. The third wave includes 6,661 of the original 7,224 households interviewed in 1993 as well as an additional 3,774 "split-off" households containing 1993 IFLS1 household members no longer living within the origin household. Slightly more than half of the sample included in our analyses was born in either Western, Central, or Eastern Java (each of these provinces represents 17-20% of the sample). The remainder were born in roughly equal proportions in the remaining provinces included in the IFLS: North Sumatra, West Sumatra, South Sumatra, Lampung, Yogyakarta, South Kalimantan, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and South Sulawesi.1 Individuals born in Jakarta are not included because we exclude those born in urban areas.
