Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The number of hours usually worked, as defined by the ILO, is the typical value (may be the modal value) of hours actually worked in the job during a certain reference period.
This variable can help in assessing time-related underemployment (visible underemployment).

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the total number of working hours (Q216) is not reported for those who are employed but temporary absent from their work, waiting to resume previous work or found a job and waiting to start. Thus, the generated variable for those cases is recoded "0".
