Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The lower age cut-off (and perhaps upper age cut-off) at which information is collected will vary from country to country.
Classifies the main job of any individual with a job (EMPLOYED=1) and is missing otherwise. As most surveys collected detailed information and then coded it using national classifications, and the original data is not in the data bases, no attempt has been made to correct or check the original coding.
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
----------------------------------
Main occupations provided are already aggregated and they are not following the international classifications used for harmonization, hence some occupations are grouped and cannot be split (Ex: technicians and professionals are already grouped with clerks in the original data received while the international classification tend always to differentiate between different occupations).
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: professionals, technicians and clerks will be coded 45 following the codes 20, 30 and 40)
