Implement intialisation strategy for paid_employment

paid_employment
Update: @mzimmermann-IDM will look into extrapolating values in the input datasets |
@mzimmermann-IDM Once I implemented the piecewise linear parameterisation, I noticed that for ages < 15 we would get negative proportions/probabilities. To overcome this I've implemented an asymmetric logistic function. The fitting process is done right after loading empowerment data , so in principle we can change the function that we fit to data. We wouldn't have to change the parameterisation if the data source changes either (eg, we use a dataset from a different year). Let me know if you think of any potential issues we may have with this approach. For instance, I noticed that the logistic fit in the figure doesn't reach to 0 for ages < 5 years old -- it's very small approx 0.04. I'll look into that next. If the logistic fit is not the best approximation, we can use a multi-piecewise linear approximation:
