Interviewer instructions
5.5.1.20 Column (20): For codes other than 81 in column (3), period of seeking/availability for work for some period during last 365 days: The principal usual activity status of each person is recorded in column (3). It is to be ascertained from persons whose principal usual activity status was - either employed (codes 11-51) or out of labour force (codes 91-97) - i.e., other than code 81 in column (3), whether they were seeking/available for work for some period during last 365 days or not. For example, a person may be employed in his/her principal usual activity status based on the majority time criterion. But he/she may have been looking for work for some period. Similarly, a girl may have been looking for job for sometime but subsequently got married and was engaged in the domestic duties. The latter activity might have been pursued for a relatively longer period. In all such cases, one of the codes 1 to 3 will be given in column (20), depending on the period (not necessarily continuous) they were seeking/available for work. If a person was not seeking or available for work any time during the preceding 365 days, the appropriate code will be 4. The code structure applicable to this column is as given below:
1 Yes: less than 1 month
2 Yes: 1 to 3 months
3 Yes: 3 to 6 months
4 No
