Notes

This question is applicable to all household members aged 15 years and older, regarding their involvement in economic activities in the seven days prior to the interview. This is part of the questionnaire where there would be a differentiation between the economically active population and those who are not economically active. The instruction to enumerators was that they should consider those activities that lasted for at least an hour within the last seven days. In order to be certain that the categories had been answered, there should either be a 'Yes' or 'No' answer to all of them. Most importantly, if there was a 'Yes' to any part of this question, there should be a skip to Section 4. If all the categories were 'No', there should be a continuation to the next question.
