Age of women subject to study (m_age), education year (m_educ), marriage status (m_marr, 1 = not married), employment status (m_employment, 1 = employeed), weekly work hours (m_workhours), type of occupation (m_jobcode, 1 = blue collor job), employment type (m_jobsecurity, 1 = temporary/dayworker), number of household member (h_size), household type (h_family, 1 = large family), household income (h_inc, \1000), financial assets of household (h_finasset, \1000), household debt (h_debt, \1000), home owning status (h_housingown2, 1 = others except for owing house and lease); (3) T test has examined two hypotheses assuming the average of two data is the same; (4) In Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, D1 and D2 represents the maximum distance when PSKC < KLoWF and PSKC > KLoWF, and D suggests bigger absolute value between D1 and D2
