In the situation where a person has been found to have pursued more than one economic activity during the last 365 days in his or her subsidiary capacity, the activity on which more time has been spent would be considered for recording entry in columns 14 to 17. Columns 14 to 17 are to be filled in for each and every member of the household reporting subsidiary economic activity (i.e., for those with code 1 in column 13) irrespective of whether in the usual principal activity status the person is employed or not.

Activity status codes 11, 12, 21, 31, 41 and 51 relate to economic activity and only these codes are applicable for column 14.

Description
Definition
Usual activity status: The usual activity status relates to the activity status of a person during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. The activity status on which a person spent relatively longer time (major time criterion) during the 365 days preceding the date of survey is considered the usual principal activity status of the person. To decide the usual principal activity of a person, he/ she is first categorised as belonging to the labour force or not, during the reference period on the basis of major time criterion. Persons, thus, adjudged as not belonging to the labour force are assigned the broad activity status "neither working nor available for work". For the persons belonging to the labour force, the broad activity status of either "working" or "not working but seeking and/ or available for work" is then ascertained again on the basis of the relatively longer time spent in the labour force during the 365 days preceding the date of survey. Within the broad activity status so determined, the detailed activity status category of a person pursuing more than one such activity will be determined again on the basis of the relatively longer time spent.
