villagers tend to remember well.<br />

At the aggregate level, the change in houses in the six villages has been the same for<br />

both types of household. The percentage of houses roofed with tiles, the best type of house<br />

��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������<br />

However, between villages, the change varies. The best type of house for the two groups<br />

which had a lot more houses with tile roofs in 2002, did not increase them in 2007, but the<br />

main change is from thatched to tin-roofed houses.<br />

2002, but 19 percent of the households with migrants did. In 2007, all of these households<br />

owned better houses. A similar change is observed in Siem Peay. In 2002, all households<br />

without migrants had houses better than thatched, but 21 percent of households with migrant<br />

workers did own this type; in 2007, only 14 percent of them had thatched houses. However,<br />

households without migrants having tile roofs dropped from 59 percent to 43 percent.<br />
