Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form</span></p>

<p><span class="h3">Part 1: Information about members of the household</span>
<br />Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.</p>

<p>The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 24: Although not working, does [the respondent] get paid/remunerated or get benefits from production and business activities?</span>
<br />The question is intended to identify whether, during the idle periods, DTDT continues to get paid/remunerated or get benefits from his business and production activities. If during the idle period, DTDT still receives salary/wages/benefits from the production and business activities, it proves that DTDT's level of commitment to the work is quite high and DTDT will be identified as employed. In case DTDT does not receive salary/wages/benefits during the idle period, DTV must ask follow-up questions to identify DTDT's economic status. DTV relies on DTDT's answers to select the appropriate code.</p>

<p>Some cases to notice:</p>
<div class="i1">- Incomes from pensions, allowances for loss of working capacity, and interest on bank deposits are not counted as salary/wages from work.<br />- People receiving dividends from stocks and bonds, if they do not participate directly in the production and business process of the enterprise to generate profits, but simply buy shares to receive the profits, are not counted as benefiting from production and business activities.<br />- For people who quit their jobs, if during the idle period they still receive a monthly payment from Social Insurance and do not receive any other payment from the workplace, DTV selects code "2".</div>
