Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">Section 6 - The census questions</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Urban RNVs and rural villages</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Questions 20 to 22</span>
<br />Questions 20 to 22 are only for people who are involved in money raising activities. That is they are either usually wage earners (codes 01 or 02) involved in a business (code 03) or get money from farming or fishing (code 04). Simply you do not have to ask these questions to anyone with codes OS to 10.
<br />All three of these questions must relate to the same particular job or business for that person.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 21</span><div class="i1">Who do you work for?</div><p>Write clearly the name of company or government department.
<br />If the person is self-employed (that is has his own business) simply write "self".
<br />For farmers and fishermen (code 04) you should also write "self".
<br />If a person works as a <span class="lang">hausboi</span> or <span class="lang">haus meri</span>, you do not have to write the name of the employee, e.g. "Mr Smith" just write "private".
<br />Try to give the actual branch or section of the company or department, e.g. Steamships wholesales BPs plantations, Department of Works and Supply - refrigeration section.
