Note: Bold font indicates statistically significantly different from zero at the five per cent level; GC and SGC is multiplied by 100 for ease of interpretation.
†We calculated the overall RC and GC by ranking countries based on their GDP per capita. Also, we applied total number of adults (15-59 years) during the study period for each country as a weight in the calculation.
