Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicates the number of "paid" working days, thus the total number of days worked might exceed the usual number of monthly working days if double paid days are counted.
In the raw data, the number of working days is provided for employees only, while for the employers and self-employed, the data is not collected.
