Description

WKINCOMEZW is an 8-digit variable with 2 implied decimal places that reports the respondent's earnings in first Zimbabwean dollars (ZWD), which were in circulation from 1980 through 2005. This variable is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

The complementary variable WKINCOMEUNIT reports the reference period (per hour, day, week, month, or year) in which the reported income was earned.

Note: The 2 implied decimal places in WKINCOMEZW mean that the last two digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.
