Column E5: Cash Receipts

Since August 1990, did any member of this household receive:

1 Pension
2 Remittances (from· mines, Tirelo Sechaba, relatives, etc.)
4 Rent (from land/property)
8 Interest/Dividend/Bonus
16 Aid/Relief

In this section, we are interested in finding out whether the household received any cash payment as unearned income during the reference period. Unearned income refers to payments made to the household other than from employment, business profits or sale of one's own produce. Salaries and wages paid to members listed in part a above should not be included in answer to this question.

The most common types of unearned income are as follows:

1 Pension: This is a payment, usually on a regular basis, by a previous employer to a worker who has retired or is no longer working for other reasons. For example, certain Government employees are entitled to stop work and draw their pensions on attaining the age of 45 years.

2 Remittances: This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives and friends working either abroad (e.g. South African mines, farms, etc.) or elsewhere in the country. It also includes family and child maintenance and payments to the household on account of the Tirelo Sechaba participants. It should be noted that cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way - as long as it is from a person in another household, other than the one being interviewed. Distance between households affected is immaterial. The transfer must be permanent. Cash loans to the household must not be included,

4 Rent: A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field, It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.

8 Interest/Dividend/Bonus: Interest is money paid by a bank on a deposit account, while dividends/bonuses are payments from the profits of a business to shareholders or investors. For example, bonuses may be received from a co-operative society or BMC.

[p.48]

16 Aid/Relief: This refers to cash payments made directly by Government (o; any organisation) to alleviate the effects of drought or to assist the household to participate in agricultural activities.

Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since August 1990, any member of the household received money from these sources.

If none of the above applies, enter 0.

In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 133, the household received some remittances from their daughter Lorato in South Africa. Therefore 2 is circled.

133. Columns E1 - E7: Agriculture and land acquisition, and household cash activities

For some of these questions (e.g. for those whose codes are multiples of 2) you may circle more than one code, if more than one response applies.

These questions relate only to members of the household - i.e. those listed in Parts A and B but excluding any visitors listed in Part A. Include also household members who normally would have spent the census night with the household but who were temporarily elsewhere in Botswana. For example, the usual head of household could be away on business during the census period, but he might be the only income earner for the household. Since he was not present in the household during the census, his employment would not be recorded in Part A and it would appear that the household had no source of income. However, the fact that the household receives income from his employment will be recorded in E5, E6 and E7.

Note that questions in Part E of the questionnaire should relate only to activities within Botswana. For example, if a household member who is temporarily living in another country (and is therefore listed in Part B), has planted maize outside Botswana, that agricultural activity will not be recorded in column E2. If the same person owns cattle inside Botswana, then that ownership will be recorded in column E1.

The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown on page 57:

137. Column E7: Since Independence Day 2000 did household member(s) receive cash from: Other receipts

Q: Since Independence Day last year (2000), did any member of this household receive cash from:

Remittances from:

[] 1 Inside Botswana
[] 2 Outside Botswana
Other receipts:
[] 4 Pension
[] 8 Rents
[] 16 Maintenance
[] 32 Employment

In this section, we are interested in finding out whether the household received any cash payment or as unearned income during the reference period. Unearned income refers to payments made to the household other than from business profits or sale of one's own produce, goods or services.

If anyone in Part A (other than visitors) worked for cash in the past 30 days then you should automatically circle code 32. This code (32) should also be used if a household member had a job a few months ago, but is currently unemployed. Since the household received income from his previous employment since August 1990, the code for Employment would be circled in E7.

To ensure that codes 32 for employment are covered ask the respondent whether any household member received income from employment since Independence day (2000). If the answer is yes, then circle code 32 for employment in E6.

The most common types of unearned income are as follows:

1. Remittances from Inside Botswana:
This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives, friends or others living or working elsewhere in the country. For example, if a household member's husband lives and works in Tsootsha and regularly sends part of his salary to her in Maun, this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from inside Botswana (code 1). Remittances from inside Botswana also include family and child maintenance payments receipts. It should be noted that cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way. Distance between households affected is immaterial. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.

2. Remittances from Outside Botswana:
This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives, friends or others living or working outside Botswana. For example, if a household member listed in Part B sends part of his salary to other household members; this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from outside Botswana (code 2). As above, cash remittances refer not only to cash which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers which have been delivered by hand or in some other way. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.

4. Pension:
This is a payment, usually on a regular basis, by a previous employer to a worker who has retired or is no longer working for other reasons. For example, certain Government employees are entitled to stop work and draw their pensions on attaining the age of 45 years.

8. Rent:
A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field. It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.

16. Maintenance:
This money is received when there is at least one child in the family who is been taken care of by the father, either voluntarily or as an order from the relevant court.

Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since August 2000, any member of the household received money from any of these sources.

If none of the above applies, enter 0 in the space just below the codes, but not in the shaded area.

Example: The agriculture and land acquisition section captured that there is at least one member of the household with poultry as well as one who planted sorghum. There is however none who owns land as the land used is a tribal communal. In E5 to E7 the household sold poultry in E5 for earning cash and employment was another cash earning activity.

These questions relate only to members of the household - i.e. those listed in columns A1 and B1 but excluding any visitors listed in A1. Include also household members who normally would have spent the census night with the household but who were temporarily elsewhere in Botswana. For example, the usual head of household could be away on business during the census period, but he/she might be the only income earner for the household. Since he/she was not present in the household during the census, his/her employment would not be recorded in Part A and it would appear that the household had no source of income.

In this section, we are interested in finding out whether the household received any cash payment or unearned income during the reference period. Unearned income refers to payments made to the household other than from business profits or sale of one's own produce, goods, or services.
If anyone in Part A (other than visitors) worked for cash in the past 7 days then you should automatically circle code 32. This code (32) should also be used if a household member had a job a few months ago, but is currently unemployed. Since the household received income from his/her previous employment since Independence Day, 2010, the code for Employment would be circled in E7.

To ensure that codes 32 for employment are covered ask the respondent whether any household member received income from employment since Independence day 2010. If the answer is yes, then circle code 32 for employment in E7.

The most common types of unearned income are as follows:

1. Inside Botswana
This includes cash gifts and transfers from relatives, friends, or other living or working elsewhere in the country. For example, if a household member's husband/wife lives and works in Tsootsha and regularly sends part of his/her salary to them in Maun, this salary transfer would be recorded as remittance from inside Botswana (code 1). Remittances from inside Botswana also include family payments receipts. It should be noted that cash remittances refer not only to cash, which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers, which have been delivered by hand, or in some other way. Distance between households affected is immaterial. The transfer must be permanent-cash loans to the household must not be included.
2. Outside Botswana

For example, if a household member listed in Part B sends part of his/her salary to other household members; this salary transfer would be recorded as a remittance from outside Botswana (code 2). As above, cash remittances refer not only to cash, which has been sent by post or mail, but also to any cash transfers, which have been delivered by hand, or in some other way. The transfer must be permanent - cash loans to the household must not be included.
4. Pension
This is a payment, usually on a regular basis, by a previous employer to a worker who has retired or is no longer working for other reasons. For example, retired employees, old age pensioners and world war veterans are entitled to retirement pension, old age pension and world war veteran's pension respectively.
8. Rent
A household may receive payment for any property it lets out, such as a house or field. It should also include payments received for allowing its donkeys/mules/oxen to be used for ploughing.
16. Maintenance
This money is received when there is at least one child in the family who is being taken care of by the father/mother (not married to the mother/father), either voluntarily or as an order from the relevant court. It should be noted that persons paying (sending) maintenance must not be members of the household in reference.
Circle the appropriate answer code(s) if, since Independence Day, 2010 any member of the household received money from any of these sources. If household members did not receive cash from employment or from selling goods or providing services, then write 0 in the space below the codes, but not in the shaded area.
