Study notes
Education ('ilo_edu'): The highest level of education has been classified with respect to ISCED 97.
Education attendance ('ilo_edu_attendance'): There is no variable related to education attendance in the data set.
Marital status ('ilo_mrts'): Marital status is asked to the population aged 10 years and above.
Disability status ('ilo_dsb_details'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Working age population ('ilo_wap'): The WAP in Ethiopia starts at 10 years old, however, all the questions related to economic activity are asked to people from 5 years old.
Labour Force Status ('ilo_lfs'): Employment has been computed taking into account people at work (lf30==1) who have been working more than 4 hours (lf32==1) in the last week (lf32 is the only variable in the dataset that gives information related to the number of hours worked, having only two categories). In addition, the definition of employment includes persons who had a job and were temporarily absent during the period of reference (lf34==1).
The definition of unemployment is based on those who were not in employment, looked for a job (lf46==1) and were available (lf49==1). In addition, it has been considered future job starters (inlist(lf48,6,9)).
Multiple job holders ('ilo_mjh'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Status in employment ('ilo_ste'): The category “Members of producers’ cooperatives” cannot be computed because of the lack of information about this issue.
Economic activity ('ilo_eco'): ISIC Rev. 3 has been used.
Occupation ('ilo_ocu'): ISCO-88 has been used.
Weekly hours actually worked ('ilo_how_actual'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Working time arrangement ('ilo_job_time'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Informal/Formal economy: Unit of production ('ilo_job1_ife_prod'): The number of workers classified within the household sector has been computed taking into account all workers whose economic activity was classified as ISIC Rev3.1 95 “Activities of private households as employers of domestic staff” or whose occupation was classified as ISCO-88 62 “Subsistence agricultural and fishery workers” (ilo_job1_eco_isic3_2digits==95 | ilo_job1_ocu_isco88_2digits==62).: The total number of workers within the formal sector of the economy has been computed as the number of employees in public institutions (inlist(lf38,1,2,4)), or the number of employees who did not work for a public institution, but they worked in an enterprise that carried out bookkeeping (!inlist(lf38,1,2,4) & lf39==1), or that was registered (!inlist(lf38,1,2,4) & lf39!=1 & lf41==1)).
The number of informal workers has been computed taking into account the number of workers who were not classified either as formal or household (!inlist(ilo_job1_ife_prod,3,2)), and who worked in an enterprise (!inlist(lf38,1,2,4)) that did not do bookkeeping (lf39!=1) and was not registered (lf41!=1).: Informal/formal economy: Nature of job ('ilo_job1_ife_nature'): There is not enough information to compute this variable. There is not information available on Social Security.
Earnings ('ilo_job1_lri_ees'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Time-related underemployed ('ilo_tru'): There is not enough information available to compute this variable.
Cases of non-fatal occupational injury ('ilo_joball_oi_case'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Days lost due to cases of occupational injury ('ilo_joball_oi_day'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Previous economic activity ('ilo_preveco_isic'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Previous occupation ('ilo_prevocu_isco08'): There is no information to compute this variable.
Youth not in education, employment or training (NEETs) ('ilo_neet'): This variable is not possible to compute because it is not possible to compute the variable ilo_edu_attendance.:
