Questions for examining work in 2008:
The first group of questions about 'work' helps determine whether a person worked in 2008 and allows us to estimate the amount of labor force at the household's disposal.
Questions on workplace
The goal of the questions about the workplace is to fully and precisely classify a person's workplace. Therefore, it is extremely important that the answer is as detailed and accurate as possible.
The information is received from the questions on: workplace address, workplace name, main activity of the workplace, name of division and main activity of division. The answers to these questions (except for the question on the address of the workplace) and the questions on type of work (detailed later on) are in the respondent's own words and require him to describe in great detail the workplace's activities and his activities in the workplace. The questions may seem as repeating themselves to some people, but it is important to understand that a great degree of detail is required in order to accurately discern between different workplaces and different types of work.
The questions on workplace description and the person's job description (detailed later on) refer to one workplace:
- Anyone who worked during the week that ended on 12/27/2008 - shall provide answers concerning his main workplace during that week. A main workplace is the place where a person is employed most of his weekly work hours.
- Anyone who was absent from work on the week that ended on 12/27/2008 - shall provide answers concerning the job from which he was absent.
- Anyone who did not work during the week that ended on 12/27/2008, but worked in Israel in 2008 - shall provide answers concerning his last job.
- Anyone who was in mandatory or career military service on the week that ended on 12/27/2008, but worked in Israel in 2008 - shall provide answers concerning his last job as a civilian.
i. Workplace address
The information on the workplace's address teaches us about the mobility of the labor force and about the distance between the place of residence and the workplace. The questions provide very important information on the geographic dispersion of workplaces and allow us to make the connection between workplaces and places of residence. The data allows us to compare the sizes of the 'day population' (the number of people who work in the area) and the 'night population' (the number of people who live in the area), in every place in Israel. This data is of great importance for physical planning in many areas, such as: transportation, housing, development of services for residents, etc.
The questions on the workplace address include: locality name, street name, house number. In cases where there is no full information on the address, a person is asked close to what his workplace is located (for example: HMO clinic, shopping mall, hospital). Additional details on workplace address can be found in part B, paragraph 2.e.
Question 7.80 - In what locality is your workplace located?Enumerator, please note: If the person worked abroad, type - abroad.
If worked from home, type - home.
If there is no permanent address, type - no permanent address.
