Q22 For those who worked or have worked before (Q19, 1-3), "What was [the respondent's] place of work or main activity of [the respondent's] place of work during the week before census night?" (industry) This question applies only to those persons who were coded "1-3" in Q19. Continuing with the first person listed "Person 01" 10 years old or over who responded "1, 2, or 3" in question 19, ask question 22.

This question refers to the type of goods produced, services provided, or work carried out at the respondent's main workplace or previous workplace. You must record the main type of activity, which takes place at the respondent's workplace as given by the respondent. Below are examples of possible answers.

• Farming

The answers to this question are very important. For example, a security guard can work in a variety of places but his/her occupation is still that of security guard.

If a security guard is working in a shop/supermarket, then the activity at the place of work is shop/supermarket. If a security guard is working at a government office, then the activity at the place of work is government work/office. If a security guard working at a bank, the activity at the place of work is banking.

The same can apply to a driver, clerk, cook, or cleaner. You should make sure that you properly describe the activity at the respondent's place of work.

Do not make any marks in the boxes. Write your answers in the red space provided. Office clerks will use your written answer to assign occupation and industry codes in the office. Write as neatly as possible.
