Explore the incidence and type of paid work of Older Cohort individuals over time:
Note that Older Cohort individuals reported on incidence of paid work in the last 12 months at each survey round. The timeline shows the percentage of those individuals involved in any form of paid work across time, by category (note that these insights can be visualized by country sites, location, household wealth and sex). The chart beneath the timeline shows the percentage of Older Cohort individuals involved in either agricultural work, non-agricultural work or other (non-classifiable work). The coloured markers show the percentage of individuals involved in either agricultural work, non-agricultural work or other according to category selected with respect to the average percentage (grey bar). For information on how we define these, as well as characteristics of ‘paid work’ of types of work please see our data dictionary below.
