Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The number of hours usually worked, as defined by the ILO, is the typical value (may be the modal value) of hours actually worked in the job during a certain reference period.
This variable can help in assessing time-related underemployment (visible underemployment).

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
For those who are employed but temporary unpaid (MAS_D=130), the total weekly working hours in the main job is reported "0" since they did not effectively start working.
