Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
PWEEKTL provides the number of weeks worked in any job (full- or part-time) during the reference period.

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.
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
----------------------------------
The total number of weeks worked (PWEEKTL) was generated using the total number of working months during the last 12 months, available in the roster data, multiplied by 4 to convert it to weeks.
