Description
LABFORCE is a dichotomous variable identifying whether a person participated in the labor force. Labor force participation generally means working or seeking work within a specified reference period.
For most samples LABFORCE is a recode of EMPSTAT (employment status). A consistent lower age universe of 15 or older has been applied to increase comparability across samples. Full detail is retained in EMPSTAT, which should be used for any study of child labor.

Comparability — General
A consistent lower age universe of 15 or older has been applied to all samples. Some universe differences still persist, however. A small number of samples use age 16 or older as the lower bound, and some samples apply a maximum age as well. Other small universe differences also exist. See the universe tab for details.
The reference period for the employment status question can differ as well. See the EMPSTAT (employment status) comparability discussion for details.
