Residents of age six years and over
[Question 26 through 33 asked of resident persons aged 6 and older.]

32. Economic sector

Attention: Questions 26-32 apply only to residents of the household who are at least 6 years of age. Therefore, these questions do not apply to: visitors, any and all resident children (present or absent) who are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years of age, or born in 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, or, 1993, or who were born between November 1 and December 31, 1992.
Resident children (present or absent) born between January 1 and October 31, 1992, are now 6 years of age; therefore, questions 26-32 apply to them.

Special case: For any child who is a resident (present or absent) and was born in 1992, without the month being specified, questions 26-32 apply. For resident children (present or absent) to whom questions 26-32 do not apply, draw a slash through column 26 and the following columns.

Question 32: Industry sector
The industry sector pertains to the type of economic activity carried out by the Government, a public body, a public undertaking, a state-owned company, an industrial, artisanal, commercial, agricultural, or service company or production unit, a workshop, family farm, etc., in which the worker conducts or has conducted his or her own economic activity.
For example, a driver who works for the Ministry of Agriculture, a driver who works for Sococe, a driver who works for the BIAO-CI, a driver who works as a "taxi driver," and a driver who works for the Ivory Coast Electricity Company are not classified in the same industry, even though they all engage in the same type of economic activity or occupation. Indeed:

Conversely, all employees of the same company, government body, or business must be classified in the same industry, regardless of the occupation or occupation that each of them practices within this unit of production. Thus all workers of the Autonomous Port of Abidjan are classified in the maritime transport sector, regardless of the occupation or trade they practice there. Similarly, all workers of the Ivory Coast Electricity Company (commercial engineer, drivers, laborers, cooks, accountants, electrical engineer, chemists, masons, welders, administrator, director, etc.) are classified in the "production and distribution of electricity" sector.

Other examples: A physician working in a clinic or hospital has "health care" listed as his or her industry sector, while a physician working at the office of the Ministry of Health is in the "government" sector.

For a secretary working at Gonfreville establishments, enter "textile industry"; for a secretary working at the Biao, write "bank"; for a secretary working at Air Afrique, write "air transportation"; for a secretary working at the Ministry of Planning and Development, write "government"; for a domestic worker who works for a given household, write "service to private individuals."

[p.44]

The industry sector of individuals working in specialized services is the service or good produced by the establishment; in the case of informal sector activities, it is necessary to describe what the person produces or sells.

All of these examples serve to show you that an individual's knowledge of the profession or occupation is not sufficient to determine the industry sector.

How to conduct the interview about the industry sector?
Ask: "What does the establishment or company for which you work do?" Legibly write the response provided by the respondent outside the coding grid.
