Interviewer instructions
The work reported in column 13 should be classified according to the kind of business or industry. Politely ask the respondent to give you a very specific description of the nature of work or the kind of business or industry such as palay farm, deep sea fishing using commercial boat, sari-sari store, leather shoe factory, elementary school, etc.
If the answer is vague or is not specific, get a clarification from the respondent by asking such questions as:
- What kind of retail store is this?
- Does the shoe factory manufacture leather or rubber shoes?
- Does the firm sell or repair radios?
- Did ___wash clothes at a laundry shop or in own home?
Do not be satisfied with answers like firm names such as Soriano & Co., LM Enterprise, etc., since they do not necessarily describe the business or activity. Probe and try to elicit from the respondent information about the kind of product (if a manufacturing firm) or the kind of service that the company is engaged in.
Moreover, if work is pursued in a big company that is engaged in several types of activities, report the nature of the particular activity of that company in which the person is working.
If work is for a government office or institution, the name of the office, bureau, public school, etc. may be accepted. If work is for the executive branch of a local government, indicate whether provincial, city or municipal government.
