Description

Definition
This variable is created to capture those individuals who were incorrectly classified as out of the labor force because in the questionnaire design, they had an option of reporting 'domestic duties' as their activity.

Construct this variable in 2 stages:-

Stage1: Identifying individuals engaged in household duties
An individual is classified as engaged in household duties if ALL the following conditions are met:-
1. Did not work in the past 1 year (WORKED_Y != 1 )
2. Did not work in the past 7 days (WORKED_7 != 1 )
3. Was not absent from work (ABSENT != 1 )
4. Performed household duties (notlab_wb=1).

Note: Performed household duties should be checked from the responses used to code NOTLAB_WB. If no question can be found to code NOTLAB_WB, use information from the section on household chores.

Stage 2: Checking for relevant conditions to classify individuals identified above as EMPLHOME
If such an individual belongs to a household that carries out agricultural activities (farming/ sharecropping/ hunting/ fishing/ logging/forestry/raising livestock/bee-keeping).

Then, such an individual should be considered as employed and coded as 1, otherwise code as zero.
