Question 14: Why you did not work last week?
If you circle any of the numbers between 1 and 4, go to question 16.
Option 5, "Didn't work" should not be read out loud. Circle this option only if the respondent does not answer the previous options in the affirmative. Then continue on to question 15.
[Each of the 4 examples below is accompanied by an explanatory drawing.]
1. Didn't work, but had a job. This is when the person had a job but didn't work last week because he/she was on vacation, on strike, on leave, etc., and was paid.
2. Didn't work, but has his/her own business. This is when the person works for him/her self, but was temporarily absent last week and his/her company continued to operate and generate revenue.
[p. 53]
3. Did odd job(s) for payment in cash or kind. This is when he/she worked for at least one hour at an odd job or in casual employment last week, and received payment in cash or kind for the work.
4. Helped out on the farm or in the store or business of a family member without receiving any pay. This is when the person worked at least 15 hours last week in a family member's business without receiving any pay. This is the case for those who work in the field as unpaid family workers. An example of this would be agricultural assistants.
