21. Did you still receive a wage/salary without working?
[] 1 Yes (go to Q23b)
[] 2 No
Question 21: Did you still receive a wage/salary, even though you did not work?
Those who answer "Yes" to this question are persons who had a permanent job, but due to some reason they temporarily did not work, and are still being paid by the employer, such as: working leave, maternity leave, sick leave, etc., and they have an assurance of a return to work following the end of the leave.
If the respondent is this type of person, answering "Yes", the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "1", and then skips to ask Question 23, not to ask Question 22.
Persons who receive retirement or illness pensions are not counted as receiving a wage/salary persons.
If during the last seven days, the respondent did not do any work of at least one hour to earn income, and also did not pay, enumerator marks a slash (x) in small box next to code "2", and then asks Question 22.
