COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
To generate the main activity status variable, those who are currently working or who are reported to be temporary out of their jobs together with those who are reported waiting to be back to their previous job or found a job and waiting to start in q542 are considered employed. Those who are actively seeking a job are considered unemployed (q540). While those who are not seeking a job and currently not working represent the inactive sample (students, homemakers, has income, out of labor force, other) and were identified in q543.
