<span class="em">Column P19 for All 10 Years Old and Over</span>
<br />Column P19 is to be accomplished only for household members 10 years old and over. Thus, if a household member is less than 10 years old, leave column P19 blank.</p>
<p><span class="em">P19-Overseas Worker</span>
<br />As discussed in Section 3.3 of Chapter 3 (page 21), an overseas worker is a household member who is currently out of the country due to overseas employment.
<br />The increasing volume of overseas workers provides a boost to the stability of the economy through their remittances which may be invested in industries like transportation, housing, construction, education, manufacturing, and others. Data on overseas workers also help government planners and program managers in the formulation of policies, plans, and programs for the protection of overseas workers and the promotion of their welfare.
<br />For persons 10 years old and over, ask "Is[ the respondent] an overseas worker?" If the member is an overseas worker, write "X" in the box opposite "1" for Yes, or "2" for No.
<br />If a household member is less than ten years old, leave column P19 blank.
