Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In many datasets, national classifications are used to code the detailed data collected. In such cases, if the aggregated data is provided by the statistical office, no attempt to correct the original variable is done.



COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
For those employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130), all main job characteristics were recoded "not stated" since they did not effectively start working.

As stated in the methodology provided with the dataset from CAPMAS, the occupation variable's codes were recoded based on the occupational classification index issued in July 2005 which is consistent with the International Standard Classification of Occupations for 1988 (ISCO-88).
