GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the industry (crecact) is not reported for those who are arranging to take up paid/self-employment activity, waiting for the start date of an agreed work or having unpaid leave for more than one year. Those were recoded employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130), and all their main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.
As stated in the methodology part of the report provided with the dataset from CAPMAS, the economic activity variable's codes were recoded based on the economic activity classification index issued in January 1996.
