[p. 38]
Persons who were in employment but are currently unemployed due to reasons like lay off without pay, lockout etc. or whose work contract is periodical in nature and expect to be recalled to the earlier job and consequently is not seeking a job, will be given code 1. In many cases due to lack of demand the unit might have closed but the employee except to be recalled as soon as things improve, will also come in this category. Sometimes, due to the repeated failure of attempts to get work or seeing non-qualified persons unemployed, persons may step making efforts to get work. Many times persons with low educational levels may not be aware of opportunities for work. In all such cases, the code-2 will be assigned in this column. Economic constraints as a reason will include being too poor to spend m0money on applications, to go to cities/towns for search of work etc. Persons who do not actively make efforts to get work due to family traditions or other social factors will be given code-4.
Reasons which cannot be classified into any of the above five will be treated as 'others' and given code 9. In case more than one code is found applicable to a person the code which appears first in the code list will be recorded.
