Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The threshold used in such a variable may vary from one dataset to another. The variable's universe will denote the threshold used in each country. Some of the reasons reported are called "involuntary reasons." They can be used with the criterion of usually working for hours below a certain threshold to define the "visible underemployment."


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the reason for which an employee is working less than 35 hours weekly (pw07) is not reported for those who are employed but temporary absent from their work (MAS_D=110), or temporary unpaid (MAS_D=132). Thus, the main reason for the "zero" number of working hours reported for those cases will be "temporary absent from work".
