Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The classification of those working inside or outside an establishment in different sectors can be further studied using the variable "ESTAB".
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The sector of employment generated using the variable pw23_a, originally indicating the employment status, is not reported for those who found a job and waiting to start, in addition to all other employed individuals for whom the employment status is employer or self-employed.
Thus, the generated variable for those who found a job is recoded "not stated", and the sector was assumed to be private for all employers and self-employed.
Regular private sector was assumed to be inside an establishment; while the irregular one was coded private sector outside an establishment.
The sector for unpaid family workers was assumed to be private-families.
For those employed but temporary unpaid because of waiting for the start date of an agreed work (MAS_D=132), all main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.
