Question 17. Are you looking for a job?

This question is to be completed for persons aged 16 and over who have neither work nor any gainful business or have work or gainful business (including students and pensioners), but are looking for a job.
Code 1 "Yes" is to be circled for persons actively looking for work or trying to organize own business.
Specific kinds of job search include: registration with a state employment service, consulting private employers, visiting enterprises, institutions, and organizations, placing job postings, recourse to friends, acquaintances, relatives; efforts to organize own business (obtaining a permit or license, search for premises, selection and purchase of machinery and equipment, etc.).
If the answer is "Yes", the enumerator is to encircle Code 1 and go to question 18.
For persons aged 16 years and over who have no employment or gainful business ("No" is marked for them in questions 15 and 16) and are not looking for a job
Code 2 "No" is to be circled. In addition, one of the reasons marked with Codes 3-9 wherefore they do not attempt to look for a job is to be indicated.
