7.5 OutcomesOut from the access to different assets, activities within a set context, livelihoodoutcomes will be defined. This outcome will then again affect the assets, e.g. if assetsand activities lead to a high environmental income from unsustainable use, it will inturn have a negative effect on natural capital.Table 34: Total household income and socio-economic characteristics, KilosaDistrict, Tanzania, 2010VariableCoefficientestimate SE t ratio Prob>t(Constant) 1244 620 2 0,047Sex of head of HH -366 262 -1,39 0,165Age of HH -16 6 -2,79 < 0,006Size of households 7 40 0,17 0,863Land size 262 67 3,89 < 0,000Education 44 206 0,217 0,828Worker/consumer ratio 173 411 0,42 0,674Religion (Christians as reference) -424 210 -2,01 < 0,045Ethnic groups -4 9 -0,38 0,702Location 384 120 3,18 < 0,002N = 180; R square adj = 0,218; F= 5,898; p < 0,005.As seen in Table 34, four relationships proved to be statistical significant. This meansthat four factors affected the income or outcome of a household; the age of the head(Old people seems to have less income), size of land (more land means more income),religion (Muslims have a general higher income than cristians) and location (Masuguhave much higher income than the others). By this we can say that these are thefactors that determine will have better opportunities to widen their asset base. Toexamine the significance of difference between income groups and income fromdifferent activities (Table 35), an ANOVA test was run. Here we found a significantrelationship between all, with the exemption of remittance.194
