the mean difference between two categories is statistically significant. The negative t indicates that<br />

average value <strong>of</strong> category 2 is greater than the average value <strong>of</strong> category 1.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the unexpected and surprising results that we have found – Table 6.3 and A.6.2.9<br />

– is that the proportion <strong>of</strong> School Going Children for Active Borrowers is lower than that<br />

for New and Non-Borrowers and that this difference between the two categories is<br />

significant. From Table 6.2.9, this difference seems to be more marked for Boys than for<br />

Girls, and if this is the case, one possible explanation could be that Boys are now being<br />

used as family labour, particularly in Livestock Management, an activity which is new<br />

for most clients.<br />
