table_text: A number of the differences between rural and urban areas are common across most of the countries. First, the family formation process in rural areas typically takes place at younger ages than in urban areas. This is especially evident when examining the median ages at first marriage and birth of first child, which are substantially higher in urban areas in every country. The pattern is less evident for age at first sex, where there is very little difference between rural and urban areas for three of the eight countries (Benin, Rwanda, and Uganda), a higher median age in rural areas in one country (Nigeria), and a higher median age in urban areas in four countries (Mali, Ethiopia, India, and Nepal).
