Interviewer instructions
5.5.2.0 Block 5.2: Usual subsidiary economic activity particulars of household members: This block will be filled in for those who have reported to have carried out some economic activity in the subsidiary capacity, i.e., for those with code 1 in col. 7 of Block 5.1. The usual subsidiary economic activity particulars of each member of the household will be collected in this block. This will include information on industry-occupation of the working members and the particulars of the enterprises in which they are working in subsidiary status. The particulars of usual activity are collected with reference to a period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. The relevant concepts like 'activity statuses', 'economic activity', 'principal usual activity', 'subsidiary economic activity' etc. are explained in the beginning of this chapter under 'concepts and definitions'. It may be noted that a person might have performed more than one economic activity in the subsidiary capacity during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. Provision has been kept to record the details of maximum of two subsidiary economic activities only, the two being those in which relatively more time had been spent out of many subsidiary activities. The description of the item and the procedure for recording them are explained below:
5.5.2.1 cols. (1) and (2): Srl. no. and age, as in cols. (1) and (5) of block 4: The entries in these two columns are to be copied from cols. 1 and 5 of block 4, for each of the members of the household. For the persons engaged in one subsidiary economic activity (i.e. those with code 1 in column (8), Block 5.1), the details of the subsidiary economic activity will be collected against the rows under 'subsidiary status number I'. If the person is engaged in two or more subsidiary economic activities, i.e. those with code 2 or 3 in column (8) of Block 5.1, the details of the subsidiary economic activity pursued for the maximum time period among all the subsidiary economic activities or in other words, major subsidiary economic activity, will be collected against the rows under 'subsidiary status number I' and the next major one under 'subsidiary status number II'. It is quite possible that a particular serial number and age appear under both 'subsidiary status number I' as well as 'subsidiary status number II'. Columns 7 to 16 of Block 5.2 are same as columns 9 to 18, respectively, of Block 5.1.
Note that the particulars to be collected in columns 7 to 16 will pertain to the subsidiary status (col. 3) and industry (col. 5) obtained for the person. The detailed instructions for these columns are also the same as those given in Block 5.1. These are not repeated here. However, the following points may be noted:
i) Only the subsidiary economic activity particulars will be recorded in this block. Activity status codes 11, 12, 21, 31, 41 and 51 relate to economic activity and only these codes are applicable for col.3,
ii) 5 digit industry sub-class code as in NIC 1998 is to be recorded in col. 5, and
iii) 3 digit occupation code as in NCO 1968 is to be recorded in col. 6.
