Comparability

EMP is comparable across years when available. 

Comparability — Finland [top]

In 1979, EMP, STUDENT, and RETIRED are mutually exclusive - a person can be coded only as one of the three. The original variable (ptoim) asked respondents to choose from one of the following: "employed", "unemployed", "student", "chronic disability/illness", "pensioner otherwise", "homemaker" or "other".

Comparability — Italy [top]

In 2002, there are 33 students, 38 retired and 32 unemployed people with positive working hours. These respondents have been coded as employed. They are coded as EMP = 1 and EMPSTAT = 3. It is not known if they work full-time or part-time hours.
