Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Among the employed, the variable should distinguish between those who are actually employed, those who are temporarily absent from work (by reason of absence if available), those managing their own properties and those who are engaged in a job opportunity but are temporarily unpaid.

Similarly, for the unemployed, the variable, if possible, should identify those who have worked before and those who have never worked, in addition to the unemployed who are not seeking a job, with the reason for why the individual is not looking for a job opportunity.

The code 113 indicating temporary stoppage of the industry may also indicate an activity reduction or a temporary closure, which means that the employing entity might not be working in full capacity. This might be due to a lack in the number of customers or to a shortage in demand. In both cases, this should always imply that the individual is still employed (temporarily absent) since he/she is still paid/earn income.

The reasons for which the person is identified to be a discouraged unemployed (Code 620) are reported in detail in the variable (NOTSRCH_R).

Discouraged unemployment includes those who are available and want to work but given up on searching for a job because they found no suitable employment options and/or were met with lack of success when applying.

Family responsibilities includes taking caring for children, the incapacitated or elderly.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Those reported pensioners in the raw data are aged 64 years or younger, while all those aged 65 years or older are coded "above 65 years and not working", thus pensioners aged 65 years or older cannot be identified.

Few cases are reported students in the reason for which they do not desire/ready to work and the reason for not search a job, while they are not coded enrolled at the time of the survey in the education enrollment status variable. No changes were done for those cases, they might not be still enrolled at the time of the survey but plan to get enrolled therefore that are not willing to start working.
