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 23: In the past 7 days, did [the respondent] do any work for 1 hour or more to generate income for themselves or their family?</span>
<br />DTV asks about the past 7 days before the day DTV visits the household to interview. For example: If DTV visits the household on April 10, 2019, the past 7 days is from April 3 to April 9, 2019. If DTDT passed away after the time of the census (after April 1, 2019), DTV asks for information about DTDT's work in the 7 days before their death.</p>

<p>Work is an activity in 1 hour or more that generates income and is not prohibited by law. Therefore, if DTDT does work prohibited by law in the past 7 days before DTV visits the household, DTV identifies that DTDT does not work (Question 23=2).</p>

<p>(1) Some of the work identified as working to generate income for themselves or their family includes:</p>
<div class="i1">- Work performed by DTDT to earn the agreed salary/wage. If DTDT works but has not been paid because the employer owes them a salary or it is not yet the time to be paid, they are still considered to do work that generates income.<br /><br />- DTDT does work in which they directly participate in the management and implementation of production activities belonging to themselves, their household, or the establishment they own (either alone or with other people) in order to generate income for themselves and their family. That income can be agricultural products such as: rice,</div><span class="pg">[p.58]</span><div class="i1">vegetables, crops for sale/exchange or to feed themselves and their families; non-agricultural products such as beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, etc., or services for sale and exchange on the market.<br /><br />For example: Farming to harvest rice for family use or sale; free trade; making tables and chairs; trading in stores owned by themselves; members of agricultural cooperatives, etc.<br /><br />- The work that DTDT does as an unpaid/paid family worker: People who assist or jointly participate in the household/family's production and business activities to generate income for the household/family not owned by themselves (directed or operated by another person) and are not paid for that work.<br /><br />For example: Pupils and students participate in farming with their parents in the family's field; parents help their children in sales, ...</div><p> (2) Some cases are not counted as working to generate income for themselves or their family include:</p>
<div class="i1">- Participants in charity and humanitarian activities; unpaid/paid volunteer workers (For example: youth volunteers, etc.): People who have worked in the past 7 days to create goods or provide services for others but are not paid/remunerated for that work or do not generate income for themselves or the volunteers' families. Volunteers may receive a few small benefits, which may be cash to pay for activities to do the volunteering or benefits in the form of meals, transportation/communication support or small gifts of spiritual significance.<br /><br />- Unpaid apprentices and interns (including students and pupils doing an internship).<br /><br />- Seasonal workers not working during the off-season.<br /><br />- People receiving income from pensions, benefits, the transactions, transfers of assets in cash, or other forms (such as bank interest, stock dividends, gifts, etc.).<br /><br />- People who do housework or household chores for their family.</div>
