Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In many datasets national classifications are used.
The variable should generally cover the active sample (employed and unemployed if previously employed).
While for Unemployed never previously employed, the variable was coded missing.
Active sample reported as "not stated (code 999)" should normally include employed for whom the status was not identified and unemployed previously employed if status in last job is not reported.
Those unemployed and do not search for a job are considered inactive, hence their previous employment information, if they were ever active, is recoded missing.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The economic activity variable's codes seem to follow the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev.3).
Commerce includes hotels and restaurants
Education is included in other services
