Description
WHYNWLY reports the main reason given for not working at all during the previous calendar year.
Comparability
This variable consistently includes 5 responses: could not find work; ill or disabled; taking care of home/family; going to school; and other. Additional responses added in later years are "in Armed Forces" (for 1968-1983) and "retired" (for 1968 onward). These can be subsumed into the "other" category to attain comparability over time.
