Question P-18 -- Any work in the 7 days before 10 0ctober
Ask for all persons aged 10 years and over, that is, born before 10 October 1991

Question 18 has four parts i.e. P-18, P-18a, P-18b and P-18c. Only those who are working continue with the rest of Question 18. Those who are not working go to Question 19.

Question P-18b -- Active steps

"In the past four weeks before 10 October has (the person) taken active steps to find employment?"

Active steps = E.g. if the person went to visit factories or other employment places, placed or answered advertisements, OR looked for land or a building or equipment to start his or her own business or farm. Read the example to the first person in the household.

There are only two alternatives, "Yes" or "No". Focus on the examples of activity to find employment or to start own business.

[P. 50]

If the person cannot mention any active steps, choose "No". Just reading newspapers is not an active step. The person should also answer advertisements.

Most people who chose categories 1--6 in answer to Question 18a should answer "No". However do not query the response even if it appears to contradict the answer to Question 18a. This is intended to pick up people of ambiguous labour force status.
