Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In many datasets national classifications are used.

The variable should generally cover the active sample (employed and unemployed if previously employed).
While for Unemployed never previously employed, the variable was coded missing.

Active sample reported as "not stated (code 999)" should normally include employed for whom the status was not identified and unemployed previously employed if status in last job is not reported.

Those unemployed and do not search for a job are considered inactive, hence their previous employment information, if they were ever active, is recoded missing.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Economic activities provided are already aggregated and they are not following the international classifications used for harmonization, hence some activities are grouped and cannot be split (Ex: manufacturing is already grouped with mining in the original data received while the international classification tend always to differentiate between different activities).

In order not to drop the variable, the provided grouping was used and labels were adjusted for this data set; giving the aggregated categories a composite code following the codes of actual categories (Ex: mining and manufacturing will be coded 35 following the codes 20 and 30)
