a. "Own account worker" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the economic risk, that is, there is a possibility that the production costs will not be returned in this endeavor, and the person has no paid or unpaid worker. This includes endeavors that require special technology or expertise.

[p. 116]

Example:
A casual driver (no wages) who drives a vehicle owned by someone else and pays a flat rate to the owner per period of time; pedicab driver; carpenter; stone mason; electrician; masseuse, well digger; newspaper agent; ojek driver; merchant; doctor/midwife/shaman; ticket scalper; real estate broker, and others.

b. "Self-employed assisted by temporary/unpaid employee" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the risk and is assisted by an unpaid or temporary worker/staff/worker.
"Temporary worker/staff/worker" is one who is employed by another person or an institution/office/company and only receives wages based on time worked or volume produced.

Example:
1. Stall/shop owner assisted by family member/unpaid employee or assisted by others who are paid based on number of days worked.
2. Travelling salesman assisted by an unpaid employee or assisted by others who are paid whenever they work.
3. Farmer who works on farm land assisted by an unpaid worker. However, during the harvest the worker receives some of the harvest; this worker is not a permanent employee.

c. "Employer" is work or business in which the person is responsible for the risk and is assisted by at least one paid, permanent worker/staff/worker.

"A paid, permanent employee/worker/staff" is a person who is employed by another person or an institution/office/company and receives wages on a regular basis whether or not the employer has any work for him/her.

Example:
1. A shopkeeper who employs one or more permanent employees.
2. A cigarette manufacturer who employs permanent workers.

d. "Regular employee/worker/staff" is someone employed by others or an institution/office/company and regularly receives wages/salary in cash or in kind. An employee who has no regular employer is considered a casual worker. Someone is considered to have a regular employer if he had the same employer (person/household) for the last month, except for the construction sector where the duration is the last three months. If the employer is an institution, there may be more than one employer.

Example:
Hendri works in the mornings as an employee of BPS and in the evenings as a permanent teacher at a school. Hendri is categorized as a regular employee/worker/staff.

e. "Casual worker in agriculture" is someone employed in agriculture by different people/employers/institutions (more than one employer during the last month) either at a household or non-household enterprise who receives payment either in cash or kind based on a daily wage or contract. Agriculture enterprises include food crops farms, plantations, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, hunting, and agricultural services.

Employer is the person or the party who assigns the work based on agreed terms of payment.

Example of someone who is an employer:
1. A paddy farmer who employs a farm worker to process/work the rice field with daily wages.

2. A plantation entrepreneur who employs several workers to fetch coconuts with an agreed payment.
Examples of casual worker in agriculture: worker who harvests paddy; worker who tills a rice field/farm land; worker who collects sap from the rubber trees; worker who harvests shrimp from a fish pond, worker who picks coffee, coconut, clove, etc.

[p. 118]

f. "Casual worker not in agriculture" is someone employed in non-agriculture enterprises by different people/employers/institutions (more than one employer during the last month) who receives payment either in cash or kind based on a daily wage or contract. Non-agriculture enterprises are all businesses in all other sectors except agriculture.
Examples of casual worker not in agriculture: Coolies in the market, station or other places with no permanent employer; passenger recruiter for public transportation; traveling clothes washer, picker of items from trash piles, construction helper, casual parking attendants, etc.

g. "Unpaid worker" is someone who works by helping others without receiving wages/salary either in cash or in kind.

Unpaid worker consists of:
1. Household member such as a wife who helps her husband work in the rice field.
2. Relative but not a household member who helps in a food stall.
3. Non-relative and non-household member who helps weave a hat for his neighbor in a home industry.
