Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">4.2. Part B: individual characteristics</span></p>
<p><span class="em">B36: situation in relation to occupation</span>
<br />The question refers to the last 12 months.
<br />''In the last 12 months what did the respondent do as occupation most of the time?''
<br />- Enter code ''1'' <span class="ital">for occupied</span>.
<br />Example: During the last 12 months, the person has cultivated a field, has been fishing or breeding, etc. continuously for at least 3 months, record 1 <span class="ital">for occupied (OCC).</span>
<br />For trainees who have practiced for at least 3 months during the last twelve months, register 1 for occupied.
<br /><span class="pg">[p. 46]</span>
<br />- Record code ''2'' <span class="ital"> for unemployed persons who have already worked (CHO) </span>if the person is looking for a job and has not worked continuously for at least 3 months during the period of the last 12 months. Make sure that the person is actually looking for a new job if they have lost the one they had.
<br />- Record code ''3'' for those in search of a <span class="ital">first job (OUE)</span>. Make sure that the person is actually looking for a first job.
<br />- Record code ''4'' for women who have not done other tasks than those they do at home <span class="ital">(household tasks) (FOY).</span>
<br />Attention: A woman may, in addition to housework, perform work outside the home; for example, cultivating a field or practicing trade. For such a woman, record 1. In rural areas, it is rare to find a woman who is only doing housework; often she has a main activity that can be either agriculture or livestock farming and so on. So, for a woman who claims to be a housewife, ask her if she is only doing housework.
<br />- Record code ''5'' for pupils and students <span class="ital">(ETU)</span>.
<br />- Enter code ''6'' for rentiers <span class="ital">(REN).</span>
<br />This category includes all persons who practice no economic activity and whose resources are mainly derived from investments of funds and property such as real estate in particular. Example: someone who owns houses and puts them up for rent and lives off the rent from these houses. This is also the case for a person who has enough money and places it in the bank and who lives off the interest generated by the money invested.
<br />- Record code ''7'' <span class="ital">for retirees and seniors</span>.
<br />A person of either sex who does not practice any activity and whose resources are mainly derived from a pension paid by the State or any other body, this stemming from a previous activity, is considered to be retired.
<br /><span class="ital">NB:</span> If a person who claims to be retired has an activity that provides income, that person must be considered ''occupied''
<br />- Enter code ''9'' for other inactive (AU).
<br /><span class="ital">NB:</span> On the PDA, you will choose the answer on a drop-down list.
<br /><span class="ital">Note:</span> The following questions (B37 to B39) are intended exclusively for individuals for whom you have already recorded 1 or 2 for respectively occupied and unemployed persons who have already worked.
