(Results of t-Tests Comparing Men and Women, by Location)

M= Men, W=Women, *** = 1% significance, ** = 5% significance, * = 10% significance.

The distribution of sociodemographic characteristics of reported owners shows that the majority of the owners of immovable assets in the three countries are currently married. The much larger proportion of women owners are widowed, divorced, or separated as compared to being never married. However, the converse is true for men. This suggests a correlation between marriage and asset ownership for women but not for men. In terms of educational attainment, most owners of dwelling and agricultural land had attained secondary school level while other real estate owners had attained tertiary education or above. In Mongolia, 42.6% of agricultural land owners had only attained primary level or below. While most owners are likely to be currently employed, a larger proportion of women owners, as compared to men owners, report that they are not engaged in any economic activity. Most reported owners of immovable assets across the three countries are around 30–49 years old. In Georgia, more than a quarter of among the owners of all three types of immovable assets are 60 years or above. Additionally, in both Georgia and Cavite, Philippines, approximately 35% of agricultural land owners are 60 years or above.
