Definition

This variable indicates the person's wage or salary income. A separate variable indicates whether the reported income is hourly, daily, weekly or monthly (PA80A423). NOTE, however, that the income values are not consistent with the time-unit variable, suggesting some incomes may have been transformed into a consistent metric and others were not.
