For questions 23, 24 and 25, Q 22: [1+2+3+4] greater than 0
[Questions 23 to 25 were asked of those who answered they did agricultural (1), salary/wage (2), own economic enterprise (3), or extended economic (4) work for a total of months greater than zero.]
[25] What was the status of employment of [the respondent]?
Column 25: what is the status of work of [the respondent] while working that economic activity?
Status of work means the status of a person's work in the usual activity in the last months stated in the column 23. For the purpose of the census, the status of work has been divided into four group.
These four group has been described below.
1. Hiring other people for work - For the person who has invested his capital (cash, goods, or both) in a business/industry with his own responsibility of risk of profit/loss and has hired one or more people in salary/wage (either in cash, or goods, or both) in the reference time period regularly, then the status of work of that person is "hiring other people for work." In other words, if a person has been running some business hiring one or more people, then his status of work is "hiring other people for work." Even if the person has done other works besides the business management; if he usually hires other people for work, circle the reference 1.
But, if a person hires other people in wage/remuneration basis for some days in the peak hours of work pressure (e.g. at the time of harvesting/storing only), then this status is not "hiring others for work."
Example:
2. Working for others for livelihood or sustaining life means that a person is working in agriculture, industry, business, office, or any other business running by others taking salary/wages (cash or goods) monthly/daily or by any other means, so his work status is "working for others." Similarly, people or employees working in government/non-government offices, international organizations, institutions, or private industries, or offices, or in private houses, or in other businesses by taking salary/wage, their work status is "working for others."
If the enumerated person has worked for others for the longest period of time in the reference time period, circle the reference number 2 "working for others" to indicate his work status. Persons working for others work in salary/wage basis and they do not participate directly in profit and loss of business.
