Questions Q28 to Q30 aim to assess the use of banking and financial products and services in the formal sector. Questions Q31 to Q37 aim to know whether the interviewee engaged in any economic activity for at least 1 (one) hour during the week of July 24 to July 30. An economic activity is defined as one that involves the production of goods or services, either for sale or for self-consumption, and is conducted in exchange for payment in cash. It also encompasses activities that contribute to family unit welfare (family farming, running small businesses, selling various products like cigarettes, soft drinks, roasted peanuts, etc.)

Q35. Describe the main economic activity of your workplace.
[p.63]
This question aims to know the main type of economic activity (branch of activity) of the institution or place where the respondent works. Write the type of activity carried out and not the name of the institution or company.

Read the question and then write down the main economic activity of the company or institution, or the activity that the interviewee carries out on their own.

In the case of those who work in private residences (domestic workers), write employee in a house.

Note: For people who say they sell cakes at home (in Q33), write "sells cakes"; for people who say they sell coal at home (in Q34), write "sells coal"; for people who say they farm or practice agriculture (peasants) (in Q34), write "farming or cultivating the land".

Returning to the example of Mr. Carlos, whose profession is "Car Electrician" and as described in the Q34 instruction: the economic activity of the place where he works is "water distribution services", not car repair. This example is very important to understand the difference between profession/main occupation and branch of economic activity. In an economic activity, people can work in many professions which, at first glance, may not seem to be directly related to the economic activity of the company/establishment. If in the Mozambique Water Company there is a physician who gives consultations, full-time or as his main activity, to monitor the health of workers, his branch economic activity is also "water distribution services".

Keep in mind that: The people who in Q32 stated that were looking for a new job should indicate the economic activity of the place where they last worked.

Other examples of economic activity descriptions: Cement production, repair or manufacture of shoes, beer and Coca-Cola production, beverage sales, banking services, education - basic education, cultivation of corn, cotton, sorghum, orange, etc.
