The response to column 22 (what job do you do?) should specify the nature of the task accomplished by the person.
Generally, the best description of the occupation of the person is the name of the task; for example, "auto mechanic". When the title of the occupation or the job is vague, do not hesitate to ask for more information to better mark his job: for example if the person tells you he or she is a doctor, ask him if he is a medical doctor, a veterinarian, or a dentist.
If you do not know a job title that you are given by a person you are interviewing or if you find it strange, you should mark it as such, if the person is certain that the title is correct.
Clearly mark the job of each person. Example: coffee planter (for a person who gets a large part of their income from the cultivation of coffee);
-Cocoa planter (for a person who gets a large part of their income from the cultivation of cocoa);
-Rice farmer (for a person who lives primarily lives off of the cultivation of rice, this product being destined for sale);
-Farmer (for a person who lives primarily off of mixed farming and self-sufficiency farming for home consumption, meaning they feed themselves from what they cultivate)
-Livestock farmer (for a person who lives primarily off breeding)
-Shepherd (for a person who watches over a flock);
-Teacher (for a person who has the job of teaching)
-Agricultural engineer (for a person who has the job of agricultural engineer)
N.B. Responses like the responses below should not be allowed.
-"Farmer" for anyone who cultivates the earth
-"Engineer" for any engineer
- "Government employee" for any government employee
