SD = Standard deviation
Q1 = quartile 1, Q3 = quartile 3
a These numbers represents proportions (see Table 1)
b Items of these constructs were assessed with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 5 (totally agree) (see Table 1)
c Items of this construct were assessed with yes (= 1) or no (= 0) (see Table 1).
1 Only for those who are currently employed (n = 2855).
