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!

The value labels are in the data. You can open the file with ".map" extension in any text editor and use this as your codebook (see v705 below).

                               0   Did not work
                               1   Professional/technical/managerial
                               2   Clerical
                               3   Sales
                               4   Agricultural - self employed
