Notes: 1. For Germany, Sweden and the UK the presented numbers are from national surveys converted into the ECHP format. 2. The ECHP sample is weighted with cross-sectional weights for interviewed persons. 3. The US numbers are from the PSID, the ‘1994-2001 Hours of Work and Wage Files’ supplement. The numbers are not weighted. 4. The numbers in italic refer to the closest survey year that data is available: for Austria it is 1995, for Finland 1996, for Sweden 1997, and for the US 2000. 5. Numbers in parentheses indicate that data are missing for various ages within the age category.
