Interviewer instructions
5.7.2.0 Block 7.2: Follow-up questions on change of nature of work and/or establishment to persons working in the usual principal or subsidiary status (activity - I) (i.e. with codes 11-51 in col. 3 of bl. 5.1 or 5.2): This block will be filled in only for persons categorised as employed either in principal or subsidiary status (I). Attempt is made to collect information on certain qualitative aspects of mobility - changes in occupation, industry, establishment, etc., for the employed in the principal status and membership in trade unions, nature of employment, etc. for the employed either in the principal or subsidiary status.
5.7.2.7 Columns (9) to (15): Whether during last 2 years changed - work activity status, industry, occupation and establishment along with the earlier position: In columns (9) - (15) information on whether during the last 2 years, the person has changed - work activity status, industry, occupation and establishment will be ascertained and filled in. If a change is reported, the earlier position in that regard would also be ascertained. Note that these columns will be filled in only for those who are employed in the principal usual status (i.e. persons with code 11-51 in col. 3).
5.7.2.8 Columns (9) and (10): Whether during last 2 years changed work activity status and if changed, last activity status: It will be ascertained whether or not the person has changed his/her usual principal work activity status (i.e. work statuses 11-51) during the last 2 years. Code 1 will be assigned if he has changed the work status and code 2 if not. For persons with code 1 in col. 9, that is, those reporting a change in work status, the last usual principal work activity status prior to this change will be recorded in col. 10. The codes applicable in col. 10 are any of 11 to 51 only. (The detailed code structure is given for col. 3, block 5.1). Note that during the last 2 years, if a person was initially unemployed or out of labour force and he/she is employed now according to usual principal status, then he/she will not be considered to have changed his/her activity status as the work activity status did not change. It is quite possible that during the period in between the changes in the work activity status, a person was unemployed or out of labour force. Such a person will be considered to have changed his/her work activity status and code 1 will be recorded here. In the case of more than one change in work statuses, the work status prior to the last change will be recorded in col. (10).
