8.1.1. Concept and definition
8.1.2. Filling procedure for Questions 18 to 23
The accuracy of the answer for these Questions depends on the enumerator's ability to ask the questions. To obtain the best results, follow these directions:
1. Question 18
Follow the sequence of these questions:
Firstly, ask this question:
"Have you worked in this past week?"
There are two possibilities; the answer could be "Yes" or "No". Do not fill in Question 18 yet. Obtain the complete answer first by further asking this question:
"Is this work a permanent job?"
If the answer for the second question is "Yes", then fill in the "Yes" box for Question 18 and move forward to Question 21.
If the answer is "No", ask the third question:
"How many days did you work in the past week?"
If the answer is "More than 2 days", then fill the "Yes" box for Question 18 and move on to Question 21.
If the answer is "Less than 2 days", then fill the "No" box for Question 18 and move on to Question 19.
The question sequence above is applicable if the first answer is "Yes". If the first answer is "No" the second question is:
"You did not work in the past week, are you temporarily out of work?"
If the answer is "Yes", ask the third question:
"Do you have a permanent job?"
If the answer is "Yes", fill the "Yes" box for Question 18 and move on to Question 21. If the answer is "No", fill the "No" box for Question 18 and move on to Question 19.
If both of the first two answers are "No" then ask the third question:
"In the past week, did you help your relative's business, for instance, at the shop or at the farm?"
If the answer is "Yes", ask the fourth question:
"How many days did you help your relative's business?"
If the answer is "More than 2 days", fill the "Yes" box for Question 18 then move on to Question 21. If the answer is "Less than 2 days", fill in the "No" box on Question 18 and move on to Question 19.
If all the answers are "No", fill in the "No" box on Question 18 and move on to Question 19.
