Description

Definition
This is a derived unemployment status that has the most exclusive definition.

If LABFORCE_WB =1 then code 0;

Replace code with 1 (YES) if WORKED_Y! =1 and UNEMPLOYED_ILO = 1.

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

(If an individual did not work in past one year and did not work in the past seven days and did not work on fetching water, firewood, etc. and looked for a job; then such an individual is considered unemployed).

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.
