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

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
- The original variable indicating Unemployment duration in months (unemp_prd) is not reported for those who are unemployed (not seeking a job) (MAS_D=230). Thus, the generated variable for those cases is missing.
- we need to exclude those who are arranging to take up paid/self-employment activity (MAS_D= 131) and also who are waiting for the start date of an agreed work (MAS_D= 132) because we considered them employed but temporary unpaid
