6.6. Block VI. Activities of household members age 10 or older
This block is used to collect characteristics on the economic activities of every household member who is 10 or older, such as field of business, type and work status and number of working days/hours during the past week.

The work force of the community age 10 or older is categorized into two groups: work force and non-work force. The work force are those who have jobs during the past week, those who are working or temporarily not working due to a certain cause such as waiting for harvest, on leave, etc. Also included in this group are those who do not have a job but are seeking one/hopefully obtaining a job. The non-working force are those who during the week only attended school, took care of a household, and others who do not do any activities that could be categorized as working, temporarily not working, or seeking a job.

There are several questions that are specifically asked to people who are either working or seeking a job, and also some for the non-working force who attends school, takes care of a household, elderly people, or other non-economic activities. Then there are some that confirm the number of people who are categorized as working force and non-working force.

This block consists of 16 questions: P601 to P615, beginning with the most frequent activity conducted during the week through the field of business during the previous year.


Question 602: Besides attending school/taking care of the household/other, [the respondent] also worked at least one hour during the past week
This question is asked to those who mostly did not conduct activities during the week. This question is to understand if besides attending school/taking care of the household and others, they also performed working activities for at least 1 hour during the past week. This is counted whether as a temporary worker and receiving wages, or as an unpaid worker in stalls or rice fields/gardens and others.

Circle code 1 if the answer is "Yes", then continue the interview to P604. If the answer is "No", continue to P603.
