Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The threshold used in such a variable may vary from one dataset to another. The variable's universe will denote the threshold used in each country.

Some of the reasons reported are called "involuntary reasons." They can be used with the criterion of usually working for hours below a certain threshold to define the "visible underemployment."


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The original variable indicating the reasons for which an individual reported weekly working hours below 35 hours (rsnlt35) is not reported for those who are temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130). Thus, the generated variable for those cases are recoded "zero". In addition , there are 123 cases their working hours are less than 35 hour but they didn't mention any reason. So, the generated variable for those cases are recoded "zero".
