Notes

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

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the employment stability (crstabl) is not reported for those who are arranging to take up paid/self-employment activity, waiting for the start date of an agreed work or having unpaid leave for more than one year. Thus, the generated variable for those cases is recoded "not stated". For those employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130), all main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.
