<br />This question is intended to identify if unemployed people are actively looking for a job or taking specific actions to prepare to start production and business activities.</p>

<p>Actively looking for a job is when DTDT actively researches and contacts through friends and relatives, through the mass media, through job placement and promotion centers, etc...to find work to generate income.</p>

<p>Preparing to start production and business activities is when DTDT has specific actions and plans to build and set up production and business facilities/activities under their own ownership or co-ownership. Preparing to start production and business activities includes registration of operations and arrangement of necessary resources (capital, human resources, construction/purchase/rent of headquarters/operational location, lease/purchase of labor tools, labor recruitment, etc.).
