Months worked __ __
Question No. 18. Months worked
[Below the text is a form.]
This question refers to the months worked by a person during the year 1973, from January 1 to October 24.
[p. 55]
A month worked is considered during which a person carried out a trade that reported earnings or worked in a family business, during 15 days of the week or more, together or in intervals.
Mark "x" in the box "did not work" when a person worked less than 15 days during this year or did not work at all.
If a person claims to have worked more than 15 days during this year write down the number of months worked. The minimum to write down is 01 and the maximum 10.
As time worked also those who correspond to vacations, temporary absence due to sickness and other causes should be considered, especially a person who had received remuneration in money and/or kind.
When the information is given in months or fractions of months, specify if the days worked were 15 or more and write the entire number of months. If a person worked less than 15 days of the month it will not count as a month worked.
In the case of persons who did not work 15 days during a single month but who from January to October worked more than 15 days, the days worked will be calculated and the months that are equal to those days will be written down.
43. How many months was he/she occupied in paid work or a family business this year (1985)?
Months worked _ _
Question No. 43 Months worked during 1985
[Below the text is a form.]
Mark "x" in box 00 if they did not work any months.
If they worked, write in the open boxes the number of months worked.
Take into account:
That they do not necessarily have to have been continuous months; for example, they could have worked the month of January and then the month of April.
That also the work of non remunerated family workers should be included, that is, persons who work in a family business without receiving remuneration.
Occupational situation in the month before the census
24. Time worked: How many months did the person work in 1963?
These questions should be asked exclusively of the persons who have informed that they are seven years old or older.
Economic characteristics of the population
The questions oriented to find out which were the economic activities of the population (questions 19 to 26) will only be asked of persons who are seven years old or older. Therefore, for every child who is six years old or younger, you should make an X in the respective spaces across the columns.
Questions 19 to 26 are of great significance, and therefore we request that the enumerator pay the greatest attention possible to the instructions that are given on the following pages for filling them in.
The questions contained in this section of the form have a certain relationship to each other, and therefore, if you do not put special care in completing them, you run the risk of obtaining incompatible information that will cause enormous damage to the posterior process to which the form will be subjected.
In general, the research of the economic characteristics of the population will refer not to the day of the census, but to the month previous to the census, which will be from March 17th to April 17th, 1964.
Question 24: Time worked
This question should be asked of all of the persons who are seven years old or older and worked during the four weeks before the census day or who looked for a job during this same time.
[p. 51]
Here you should note the number of months that the person worked during the period from January 1st to December 31st, 1963. It is possible that the majority of the persons answer that all twelve months, but the enumerator will always try to verify that this is the correct answer, insisting on whether effectively he or she had a job during all of 1963.
When the person worked less than one month in the mentioned year, you should write "less than 1" in the space for months. In the rest of the cases you will write the number of complete months; this means, if the person worked 3 months and 20 days, you should note 3 months; if he or she worked 9 months and 25 days, you should note 9 months, etc. For the persons who did not work in 1963, you should place the inscription "0 months."
Occupational situation in the month before the census
19. Did the person work during the last four weeks before the census?
These questions should be asked exclusively of the persons who have informed that they are seven years old or older.
Economic characteristics of the population
The questions oriented to find out which were the economic activities of the population (questions 19 to 26) will only be asked of persons who are seven years old or older. Therefore, for every child who is six years old or younger, you should make an X in the respective spaces across the columns.
Questions 19 to 26 are of great significance, and therefore we request that the enumerator pay the greatest attention possible to the instructions that are given on the following pages for filling them in.
The questions contained in this section of the form have a certain relationship to each other, and therefore, if you do not put special care in completing them, you run the risk of obtaining incompatible information that will cause enormous damage to the posterior process to which the form will be subjected.
In general, the research of the economic characteristics of the population will refer not to the day of the census, but to the month previous to the census, which will be from March 17th to April 17th, 1964.
Question 19: Did you have any work during the past four weeks before the census?
It is considered that a person who is seven years old or older worked during the past four weeks before the census, and therefore you will mark X in the small box that corresponds to box 1 in the following cases:
[p. 46]
a) When he or she has worked for another person, not in the family, receiving in exchange wage in money (salary, tip, commission, etc.) or in-kind (house, clothing, food, etc.) independent of the class of work;
b) When the person has worked on his her own account, either on a farm, store or industry, practicing an occupation, either having other persons under his or her orders (employer) or by himself or herself (self-employed); and
c) When the person has worked for another member of the family, either on a farm, store, workshop or office, having received payment or not, as long as he or she has worked at least six days during the month if the work is continuous.
In general, it will be considered that a person who is seven years old or older is employed during the reference period (March 17th to April 17th, 1964), when he or she has worked for at least six days of work-periods. Persons who are absent from work because of vacations, illness, layoff or strike, should be considered as employed.
On the other hand, it will be considered that a person did not work, and therefore should have an X written in the small box 2 of this question in the following cases:
a) Persons who are exclusively dedicated to household duties in their own homes and do not receive any wage for this work. When for that work a salary is received (the case of servants), it will be taken as an employed person;
b) Students who are exclusively dedicated to their studies;
c) Persons who live permanently in jails, religious institutions, mental clinics, charity institutions, even when they produce different types of articles. The persons interned in hospitals, who have a job, but who are not working because of their temporary hospitalization, are considered as employed;
d) Rentiers, pensioners, and retired persons, which means persons who receive rent from rental properties, dividends, interests, pensions or retirement funds, without any occupation; and
e) All of the persons who do not participate in any economic activity and who are not included in any of the three groups above, such as the blind, paraplegic, mentally ill person, and who are also not interned in any institution.
For the persons who answer "yes" in question 19, you should not ask question 20, passing automatically to questions 21 to 24. However, for the persons who answer "no", question 20 is mandatory.
18. Working time: Number of months worked during the 12 months preceding the census
Question 18: Time spent working
79. The time spent working is the total time during which the person has worked during the period in question, 12 months.
Write down 12 months for the person who has regular and permanent employment even if the person has had a vacation in the middle of the 12 month period.
For the seasonal worker and the temporary worker, the enumerator will question the person concerned in order to determine the exact number of months that he worked during the period in question. He will then write down this number in the questionnaire.
For persons 10 years of age and older
[Questions 11-19 were asked of people aged 10 years or older]
16. How much time did you work during the year?
Write the number of months or weeks. Use "M" for months and "S" for weeks.
Column number 16: How much time did you work during the year?
The enumerator should ask all those people aged 10 years or older, working or not, regardless of their employment situation, if they worked during the year. If they have worked, the enumerator should ask the amount of time employed. It is not important if the work was carried out continuously or in separate periods. The number of months or weeks worked during all of the year, from May 1st, 1960, should be recorded.
[p. 24]
If the number corresponds to months, the letter "M" should accompany it. If weeks, the letter "S" should accompany the number.
[Questions 14-38 were asked of people 15 years or older.]

[22] What work [the respondent] usually did during the last 12 months?
Column 22: what works did [the respondent] do in the last 12 months and how much time did you spend for each work?
In this questions there are two sections - In the past 12 months (reference duration) a. What works did you do? And, b. How much time did you spend for each work?
For the first section (what works did you do?), the work has been divided into seven different types of work. Even if a person has spent most of the time doing only one work in the past 12 months (12 months before the date of enumeration), he or she might have done other works also for a short time period. Hence, in the appropriated column, the works engaged (reference number 1-7) and no work (reference number 8) during the reference period (past 12 months) should be written in months. Therefore, the work refers to the work done most of the time in the past 12 months and the other works done for shorter period of time.
The time taken for each month means the duration or the total number of months taken from each work, whether it is work done most of the time or the works done for a shorter period of time.
Ask the family members aged 10 or above usually living in the family what works they did in the past 12 months and how many months did they spend for each work. Then write the duration of each work done in months. A person might have done different works in the past 12 months. Ask the work's nature as per the given seven categories and write the duration of each work in months. If a person stayed without doing any work, ask him/her how many months he/she stayed in that situation and write the response in the section of reference 8 "did not work".
The above categorization can also be divided into four sections.
Some persons may not have done the same work for twelve months permanently like government and NGOs personnel. In this situation, it would be easy to take the information on the works that the person has done in the following way.
Remember: The total sum of the months in these given categories must come to be 12 months.
The above stated works have been detailed as follows:
1. Agriculture/own farming - Own farming means the farming/agriculture works for which the person has invested his capital (cash/goods), labor, and risked himself the loss and profit. Such agricultural/farming works could be in his own land or rented land, but may be the case where the respondent or the members of the family work on it. If he/she worked in others' farming activities by taking wages as laborer, then, such time spent should be counted under salary/wage, not under the agriculture/own farming.
Agriculture/farming should be understood as all kinds of agricultural works. All the details below come under agriculture activity.
[p. 76]
Agriculture activities -
[Images are omitted]
[p. 77]
But,
If the enumerated person has worked in his own agriculture/farming in the last 12 months, ask him/her how many months he has worked in agriculture/farming and write the months in number. Other members of the family might also have worked jointly in the agriculture/farming.
If the agriculture/farming works done by taking payment (cash or goods), salary, wage, specify the months of working for the person in reference 2, not in reference 1.

The time taken for each month means the duration or the total number of months taken from each work, whether it is work done most of the time or the works done for a shorter period of time.
Ask the family members aged 10 or above usually living in the family what works they did in the past 12 months and how many months did they spend for each work. Then write the duration of each work done in months. A person might have done different works in the past 12 months. Ask the work's nature as per the given seven categories and write the duration of each work in months. If a person stayed without doing any work, ask him/her how many months he/she stayed in that situation and write the response in the section of reference 8 "did not work".
The above categorization can also be divided into four sections.
Some persons may not have done the same work for twelve months permanently like government and NGOs personnel. In this situation, it would be easy to take the information on the works that the person has done in the following way.
Remember: The total sum of the months in these given categories must come to be 12 months.
2. Salary/wage: If a person spent his time working for others by taking payment, salary, or wage (either in cash, or goods, or in any other forms), ask how many months spent for such works and write the months in reference 2.
If the enumerated person has worked in a sector (government, non-government, organization, industry, domestic, farming/land, business or others) for a salary or wage, ask how many months spent and write the total months under the reference 2 of salary/wage.
[Images omitted]
[p. 78]
If any persons were domestic workers, such as shepherd, person for land plowing, cook, or bonded laborer in the reference time in salary/wage (either in cash or goods), ask them the total months they worked and write it under salary/wage.
Example - Bed Bahadur Magar family has four members - Bed Bahadur, his wife Dilmaya Magar, daughter Ratnmaya Magar, and domestic worker Bhadra Bahadur Pulami. Bed Bahadur worked as storekeeper in a biscuit factory for last 12 months and his wife Dilmaaya Magar worked as office assistant for cleaning in a government office. Both husband and wife received salary/wage for whole 12 months. Their daughter Ratnamaya worked in farming for six months and the rest of the time, she manages household chores. Bhadra Bahadur Pulami was hired in wages for doing all the housework and he did all kind of works.

Then write the duration of each work done in months. A person might have done different works in the past 12 months. Ask the work's nature as per the given seven categories and write the duration of each work in months. If a person stayed without doing any work, ask him/her how many months he/she stayed in that situation and write the response in the section of reference 8 "did not work".
The above categorization can also be divided into four sections.
Some persons may not have done the same work for twelve months permanently like government and NGOs personnel. In this situation, it would be easy to take the information on the works that the person has done in the following way.
Remember: The total sum of the months in these given categories must come to be 12 months.
3. Own business (non-agriculture): Non-agriculture business refers all kinds of business activities led by the family, other than farming/agriculture, where goods or services should have been produced and sold. If the production was only for household purpose, it should be stated under extended economic activities. And the service for household purpose should be stated under household chores.
Here, own business (non-agriculture) means all the non-agriculture activities that a person or group of persons/members have invested their capital (cash/goods), labor, and risked their loss and profit. The business under partnership also should be stated in this section.

[Images are omitted]
If the enumerated person has worked to any non-agriculture business of his/her own, ask the total months worked and write it. If other family members also have worked in the non-agriculture business jointly, ask the total months they have worked and write it under the reference 3. However, if a person works in others' non-agriculture business by taking any kind of salary, wage or as laborer, the duration of such work should be written in months under reference "2. salary/wage", but do not write under the reference "3. own business (non-agriculture)."

NB: - All the business (other than farming), such as food or non-food items production industry, trade, transport, construction, hotels, restaurants, etc. are non-agriculture business. Examples of non-agriculture business are presented as below.
[22] What work [the respondent] usually did during the last 12 months?
Column 22: what works did [the respondent] do in the last 12 months and how much time did you spend for each work?
In this questions there are two sections - In the past 12 months (reference duration) a. What works did you do? And, b. How much time did you spend for each work?
For the first section (what works did you do?), the work has been divided into seven different types of work. Even if a person has spent most of the time doing only one work in the past 12 months (12 months before the date of enumeration), he or she might have done other works also for a short time period. Hence, in the appropriated column, the works engaged (reference number 1-7) and no work (reference number 8) during the reference period (past 12 months) should be written in months. Therefore, the work refers to the work done most of the time in the past 12 months and the other works done for shorter period of time.
The time taken for each month means the duration or the total number of months taken from each work, whether it is work done most of the time or the works done for a shorter period of time.
Ask the family members aged 10 or above usually living in the family what works they did in the past 12 months and how many months did they spend for each work. Then write the duration of each work done in months. A person might have done different works in the past 12 months. Ask the work's nature as per the given seven categories and write the duration of each work in months. If a person stayed without doing any work, ask him/her how many months he/she stayed in that situation and write the response in the section of reference 8 "did not work".
The above categorization can also be divided into four sections.
Some persons may not have done the same work for twelve months permanently like government and NGOs personnel. In this situation, it would be easy to take the information on the works that the person has done in the following way.
Remember: The total sum of the months in these given categories must come to be 12 months.
4. Extended economic activities: Extended economic activities means works done by family members for the consumption of the family. E.g. firewood collection, fetching water, food production at home or in other places and processing it or grinding, hammering in home or in mill, or stitching/weaving sweater, weaving of bamboo basket, straw mat, or making processed pickle, titaura, masyaura, etc. are extended economic works. The production for household use might not give direct economic benefit, but it helps to save by cutting expenses and it is put under extended economic activities.
[p. 82]
[Images are omitted]
However, many people classify such works under household chores, which is wrong. Though these works are done for the purpose of household use, they produce some goods or services and for the purpose of census, these works should be considered extended economic works or activities. If any person has done such works in the last 12 months, the total estimated months spent for those works should be stated in reference 4.
NB: From the last Population Census 2058, the production activities performed by family members for the purpose of household use has been counted as economic activities. According to the System of National Accounting 1993, the production of goods and services for household use should be counted as economic goods. The people engaged in the production of such goods are considered workers and have been included in the census. Hence, the works that produces such goods have been included in the extended economic works for the purpose of population census.
