Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Quasi-public sectors are considered as public.
In the case that there is no distinction between Government and Public, in the original survey, we use the classification as provided.
Cooperative includes employees in joint ventures.
Foreign includes workers in international NGOs.
Others includes workers in national NGOs and in private households.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The sector of employment generated using the variable pw23, originally indicating the employment status, is not reported for those who found a job and waiting to start, in addition to all other employed individuals for whom the employment status is employer or self-employed.
Thus, the generated variable for those who found a job is recoded "not stated", and the sector was assumed to be private for all employers and self-employed.
Regular private sector was assumed to be inside an establishment; while the irregular one was coded private sector outside an establishment.
The sector for unpaid family workers was assumed to be private-families.
For those employed but temporary unpaid because of waiting for the start date of an agreed work (MAS_D=132), all main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.
