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 605: Total working hours of main work during the past week
Write the total [number of] working hours of the main work during the past week.

Main work:
If a person has only one job, that job must be recorded as the main job. If the person has more than one job, the main job is based on the length of time worked. If the lengths of time used for the jobs are the same, the job that contributes the most income is considered the main job. A person has more than one type of job if the management is done separately, except for a food crop farmer who works for several food crop farmers (separate management) -- this is categorized as one job.

Information:
a. A person who is on leave and during that period does not do any other work -- the main work is the work [for which he/she is] on leave.
b. A person who is on leave and during that period does another kind of work -- the main work is the one done during leave.
