Of course we would need to control for the problem of "diminishing returns," i.e. we would not expect countries to achieve the same rates of growth (or improvements in life expectancy, infant mortality, and other social indicators) as they reach higher levels of income.
As one would expect, poorer countries have a lower average weight, with many East African countries having a national average of lower than 125lbs (9 stone).
This stability across scenarios is counter-intuitive, as one would expect most countries to drop or climb in ranks if all schools in all participating countries implemented the same level as the least or most possible TIMSS content implementation.
If the supply of migrants is sensitive to changes in the wage premium, then one would expect source countries with the lowest wage premiums to have a lower supply of migrants than countries with the highest premiums.
