AME = Average Marginal Effect expressed as change in predicted probability (percentage points). AMEs are computed as the sample average of individual marginal effects. Positive AME = predictor increases probability of high well-being. Negative AME = predictor decreases probability. * p<0.05 ** p<0.01 *** p<0.001
