Description

Definition

This is a derived employment status that has the most inclusive definition.

If LABFORCE_WB=1 then code 0;

Replace code with 1 (YES) if WORKED_Y=1 or WORKED_7=1 or EMPLHOME=1 or ABSENT = 1.

Replace code with 0 (NO) if EMPTYPE_WB_1 = 99.

(If an individual worked in the last year or last 7 days or had a job to go back to or is an individual who fetched water/firewood/ or worked on family farm or raised livestock; then such an individual is considered employed.)

Note: Do not miss-assign 0 to missing values. 0 should be coded if ANY of the variables use to derive this variable have non missing values. If ALL the values of the deriving variables are missing, then this variable should also be missing.
