The numbers represent percentage point changes. The Composition component corresponds to the change in demographic characteristics, and the Propensities component denotes changes in estimated coefficients, which represent changes in transition probabilities conditional on demographic characteristics. The differences between the sum of Composition and Propensities Component and the Total Change stem from the here omitted Interaction component
