Kenya - DHS Survey - 2022 - Birth's Recode (KEBR8BDT)

I was wondering whether anyone could refer me to the documentation of the following employment-related variables (v704, v705) in the Birth's Recode dataset. I wasn't able to find documentation on how to interpret the encoding (i.e. what does the 1 or 2 or 9 stand for).

Thank you very much. Have a good day!
