COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicates the wage category only, thus, the generated variable is calculated as the midpoint of the ranges provided.
The original variable indicating the total monthly wage (Q224) is not reported for those who are waiting to resume previous work or found a job and waiting to start. Thus, the generated variable for those cases is reported missing.
