Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="IN87A476">5.6.13 <span class="em">Column (19): Usual activity status at the time of migration</span>: For determining the usual activity status of a migrant at the time of migration, the reference period to be adopted will be 365 days preceding the day of migration. The determination of the person's usual activity status will be done adopting the 'relatively long time criterion' as described in paragraph 5.6.2. The usual activity status of the person will, naturally, relate to the principal status. After determining the 'usual status' of a migrant the code relevant to the status assigned for the person will be recorded in column 19.<br /></svar>
