Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Since unemployment type cannot be identified (previously employed/never employed), all work related variables were recoded missing for unemployed for whom those variables were not reported, and those were assumed to be unemployed never previously employed. While for unemployed for whom other work related variables data is available, the information were kept since those are part of the variable universe and were assumed to be previously employed.
