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:
5. Question 22
If the answer for Question 18 [Have you worked in the past week?] is "Yes", ask for Question 22:
"What is your job?"
If the answer for Question 20 [Have you ever worked?] is "Yes", ask for Question 22:
"What was your previous job?"
Write the complete answer for Question 22. Use the type of job in the previous page. For instance, if a person works as a laborer, do not only write "Laborer" but elaborate whether he/she is a stenographer or a clerk; if a person works to produce something, write whether he/she is a shoemaker or a dressmaker, etc.
