Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The "work place location" might be a reason for the desire to change the job if it is too far from the individual's residence area or if the transportation is too difficult.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the willingness to change the job or get an additional one (pw08) is not reported for those who are employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=132). Thus, the generated variable for those cases is recoded 99 "not stated".
