Definition

Use information from all sections (12 months or 7 days) that ask this question.

First use information from the 12 month section. For all missing values and observations coded as 9, use the 7 day section.

Reason for not being in the labor force:

If LABFORCE_WB=1 then code as 0, otherwise if LABFORCE_WB=0 then code according to responses.

Code as 4 (Dependent), if the response is 'dependent' or 'too old' or 'too young' or if the individual is below 5 years of age.
