Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Section 11 - Time spent on unpaid household and other activities</span></p>
<p>This Section seeks to provide an estimate of the number of hours spent on unremunerated work by members of the household. Unremunerated work in the household is defined as unpaid labour on domestic and related activities. There is a lack of data and information on unremunerated work. This stems from the fact that unremunerated work in the household has always been excluded from estimates of Gross Domestic Product, because such work has traditionally been regarded as uneconomic, non-market activities.</p>
<p>However, in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the country's productive activity, productive non-market activities would have to be recognized and recorded as part of the economic activity of a country. Time spent on household and other activities will provide data on the division of labor between the sexes.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 42 - Hours spent on these activities in the past week applicable to all persons 15 years old and over.</span></p>
<p>It should be noted that people may perform more than one unpaid activity at the same time. For example, a person may spend one hour preparing a meal while at the same time looking after his/ her children. This person should report one hour in the meal preparation and related activities and another hour in the category assist with homework. It does not matter whether those activities took place at the same time.</p>
<p>It is important to note for the category, play and personal care of children, the hours spent performing these activities such as talking or playing with children is recorded, if during these activities, the person was responsible for their care.</p>
<p>If five hours is spent on cleaning the house the entry is recorded as follows, 01, checkmark, C/H. _ _5</p>
<p>If no time is spent on a particular activity for example, zero time is spent on "care of disabled, sick or aged relative" nothing is entered.</p>
<p>Do not report work performed for pay
