Active Population/currently employed or previously employed
[Questions P22-P25]

P24. Occupation branch/type of economic activity

These questions aim at knowing the activities related to education and employment for persons aged 6 years or more [the French text says more than 6 years].

Children aged less than 6 years are not concerned with questions from P16 to P25.

Employment status (occupational status) (P21 to P25)

The following questions concern only the population aged 6 years and above. For persons below that age, one will write nothing on questions P24 to P30.

For persons who are employed, one will ask the type of work or the type of employment they are in, or that they were in from July 15, 2002 to August 15, 2002.

[Questions P22-P25 were asked of active persons who are currently or were previously employed]

P24: Economic activity branch

This question concerns persons of at least 6 years of age, who are employed or who have been employed, that it those who answered (positively) to questions P22 and P23.

[p.46]

For enumerated persons of at least 6 years of age, but who have given to question P21 answers other than "1" (OCC) or "2" (CHO), one will not write anything in P22, P23, P24 and P25; one will go directly to P26.

For a person, aged 6 years and above, but for whom, at question P21, one has circled "1" (OCC) or "2" (CHO), one will write in P24 the main economic activity branch in which the person worked since the third week of July, 2002, or that of his main occupation before being retrenched.

The census enumerator will write down the main activity of the company where the person works, after looking at the classification of economic activity branches. He will try to understand the relationship between the international classification of economic activity branches, and the diversity of activities practiced in Rwanda. This listing holds all the guidelines allowing good answers to P22 and P24, on the basis of what is observed in Rwanda.

Here are examples of the most frequent economic activity branches in Rwanda:
