Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
- Those reported to be officially hired are permanent workers at their main job. However, no official contract should be signed between them and their employers (e.g., governmental employees).
- Employees with a written contract for a limited duration are those for whom the main job will terminate after a fixed period of time or upon completion of a certain project/task.
- Employees with verbal or oral contracts are those for whom the main job started on the basis of a spoken agreement. Oral contracts are difficult to prove and enforce.
- The individuals for whom an employment contract would not be applicable given their employment status, should be coded 200 "No contract."
-This variable is important for measuring work stability, quality and decency.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
