Question 627: Industry of main job
The way to determine whether the activity is the main job or not is as follows:

  • If the respondent during the past week has only one job, that job is considered as his/her main job.
  • If the respondent during the past week has more than one job, then the job that requires the most time is considered the main job. If the time is the same, then the job with the greatest earnings is considered the main job.


A person is considered to have more than one job if the work is carried out separately. Casual farm workers who work for several farmers are considered as having only one job.

Explanation:
1. If someone is on leave from a job and during that leave is not doing any other work, then his/her job that he/she is on leave from is the main job.

2. If someone is on leave and while on leave he/she carries out several other jobs, then one of his/her other jobs is considered his/her main job.


Example:
a. A marketing manager in a real estate company who during the past week was on leave and during that leave did not do any work; then, his/her work as real estate marketing manager is his/her main job.

[p. 112]

b. During the past week a doctor at the general hospital was on leave, and during his leave he helped his wife sell sports equipment; this doctor's main job during the past week is selling sport equipment.

c. During the past week a farmer who in addition to working on his own farm also helped plant rice in another farmer's field and received payment. This farmer is classified as having two jobs within the same field of industry, which is agriculture. The job where he spent more time is considered his main job. If the time is the same, then the job that earned the most is considered his main job.

d. If a person works in the morning to plant rice and works in the evening for a different farmer to plant vegetables, then this person is classified as having one job, that is: planting food crops.


Field of industry/work is the field of activity of the work/business/office where the person works.

The Industrial Classification used is the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification 2000 (KBLI 2000) which no longer classifies the economic activities in Indonesia based on sector/field of activity (nine sectors), but uses category (18 categories) and major group (63 major groups).

Method of filling in the form: write the field of industry of the main job during the past week as completely as possible in order to facilitate the processing, in particular during coding at the BPS central office.
