Description

This variable indicates whether the person is taking active steps to find employment. Examples of active steps include: going to visit factories or other employment places, placing or answering advertisements, or looking for land or building equipment to start one's own business or farm. Simply reading newspapers was not regarded as an active step but if a person had replied to advertisements, this qualified as an active step.
