Description

Hello,

I'm doing some analysis on transitions into self-employment. As part of this I'd like to understand why people leave a previous employment job for self-employment.

I noticed that the majority of people in self-employment who were employed the previous wave (i.e. jbstat==1 & l.jbstat==2) are recorded as being continuously employed (empchk==1), so do not answer stendreas. But jbendreas is also coded as -8 inapplicable for most of these people. Is there another equivalent variable that would tell me why they left their previous job?

Thanks very much for your help!

Best wishes,

Xiaowei
