Notes: 1. ‘F’ refers to full-time work, ‘P’ to part-time work, and ‘O’ to other (not working). In the PSID the ‘other’ category refers to “did not work for money now or did not work at all” and in the ECHP it refers to “unemployed, discouraged worker, or economically inactive”. 2. Full-time and part-time work definitions are based on actual work hours. Part-time work is 1 - 35 hours of work per week. 3. The table is based on survey units which are traceable through all four waves. 4. The numbers for Austria and Finland are over the last three biennial waves, 1996-2000, due to missing data for 1994. For Germany and the U.K. the numbers are from national surveys (GSOEP and BHPS) converted to the ECHP format. 5. The ECHP sample is weighted with cross-sectional weights for interviewed persons.
