Part One. Personal Records

The following questions reflect economic characteristics of the population.

R17 through R24 apply to persons who are 15 years or older.

R19. Industry
It refers to the type of production and business activities or social economic activities that a person engages with. It should be filled in with detailed company name, types of product or business domain. This question should be answered by persons who replied 1 or 2 for R17.
China currently defines 16 industries that include 92 major categories. Each major category has sub-categories.
The 5th Population Census Enumeration uses unit of industrial activity to distinguish different industries. Therefore, each census-registered unit should be a unit of industrial activity. Unit of industrial activity is defined by 1) a geographic location for the purpose of at least one economic activity; 2) independent organization of production, management, and business activities; and 3) independent accounting and evaluation - this is the most important criterion.
If one geographic location has two or more types of economic activity, or the same economic activity happens at various locations, as long as each unit has accounting capacity, they should be considered as separate units of industrial activity.
Closely associated to the unit of industrial activity is the notion of legal unit. A legal unit must demonstrate three characteristics: 1) established legally with a name, an organizational institution, and a geographic location, and capable of independently fulfilling civil responsibility; 2) independently possess and utilize (or being authorized to utilize) assets, capable of assuming outstanding debt and signing contracts; and 3) independent accounting and capable of compiling balance sheet - this is the most important criterion. The unit of industrial activity is interior to the legal unit.
Persons who work for corporate, enterprise, government, social organizations, and their subsidiaries should report the full name of their employer organization or the primary domain of business. Please note:

Write down the full name of employer organization
Specify the domain of business
For confidential units, use their publicly-known names
For self-employed persons, use the types of business they engaged with
For individuals who do not have a fixed, regular job, put down the types of work they have done in the previous week.
For rural people, do not just put "agriculture", specify the types of agricultural work.
For rural people, as long as he/she has a relatively fixed job in town or village enterprise, put down that job.
If persons who work two or more different jobs in the previous work, choose the one with longer working days.
For persons who are unsure of their jobs or types of industry, be patient and help them to identify.
