Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The number of hours usually worked, as defined by the ILO, is the typical value (may be the modal value) of hours actually worked in the job during a certain reference period.
This variable can help in assessing time-related underemployment (visible underemployment).

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The number of weekly working hours provided in variable pw06 aggregates the total number of hours worked in all jobs (main, secondary, irregular, ..etc.).
It 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 generated variable for those cases is recoded "0".
