Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
- The original variable indicating unemployment duration in months (q_404) is not reported for those who are unemployed and never worked before (MAS_D=220) and for those who are unemployed and not seeking a job (MAS_D=230). Thus, the generated variable for those cases is missing.
-Those who are arranging to take up paid/self-employment activity (MAS_D= 131) and also who are waiting for the start date of an agreed work (MAS_D= 132) were excluded from the universe of this variable because they are considered employed but temporary unpaid.
- The reference period of the original variable is the five years preceding the survey. Hence, the upper limit of the last category of this variable (q_404) is assumed to be "60" month.
