GENERAL NOTES

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable only identifies those who are willing to work additional hours, during the reference period, without precising if those additional hours are in the person's current job or in another one.
For those employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130), all main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.
