D. Economic activity

Questions for all columns in this section should only be asked to household members age 10 or older. For household members younger than 10, these columns should not be filled in at all.


Column (6) Field of industry/activity.
What is intended here is the field of industry/activity of the job/work/business/institution where someone worked or ever worked during the past week.

Example:

Agriculture, plantation, animal husbandry, forestry, etc.
Coal mining, oil and gas exploration, etc.
Food processing, clothing industry, furniture maker, paper maker, etc.
Electricity, gas, steam, water purification.
Construction.
Wholesale, retail merchandising, restaurant, coffee shop, hotel, motel, etc.
Land transport, water transport, air transport, communications.
Financial institutions, insurance, real estate and service industry.
Government and the military, social and community services.
Tourist and entertainment services, individual services, etc.


Filling in the form
The way to ask the question should be as follows:
"What is the field of activity of the place/office/business in which you worked?"

Write the respondent's answer as completely as possible like the examples given above. Thus, in this column

[p.25]

do not just write the name of the company, but the field of industry/activity and also the corporate name.

Do not fill in the code for column (7); it will be filled in at C.B.S.


Columns (4) through (9) are used for explanations about work. People who worked or ever worked during the past year have column 2 code "1" or column 3 code "Y".


Column (6) Field of industry
The explanation of this concept is the same as that on pages 24 and 25.
