Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
These variables should be generated for household members who are in the working age population (aged 15 years or older).
In the case where no identification can be done between those who have previously worked and those who have never worked before, the household members who are unemployed but reported a previous work experience are identified as "unemployed who have previously worked," and those with no work experience are identified as "never worked before."
These variables should be constructed by aggregating the data provided on the individual-level.
In general, summation over all unemployed individuals in the household aged 15+ (worked previously and never worked before).
HUNEMP_PW=FEMUNEMP_PW+MALUNEMP_PW
HUNEMP_NW=FEMUNEMP_NW+MALUNEMP_NW
