GENERAL NOTES

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------

The original wage variables (by type of wage) are only reported for wage workers and regular employment.
The daily, weekly, monthly, 3-month, quarter and yearly wages in pounds are provided.
The daily wages were multiplied by 24, weekly wages were multiplied by 4, 3-month/quarter wages were divided by 3 and the yearly wages were divided by 12 to generate a new variable of monthly wages (by type).
The total wages were then generated by summating all wage variables by type of wage, after converting all original variables to monthly amounts.
