Q15: Activity status

0. AO Active, employed: Is considered active employed every person, man or woman, age 7 or older, who declared on the census reference date to have a professional activity. According to this definition, individuals who have a certain job (farmers, individuals with periodical jobs), even if they were not practicing their activity during the census period, are considered to be active employed. Also includes individuals with a job but absent from their job during the census period because of annual leave, sickness, or accident

1 CH1 Jobless, never worked: Active unemployed is anyone age 15 or older who declares that he/she has no job at the census reference date, but is looking for it. These individuals never worked in the past.

2 CH2 Jobless, has worked before: Active unemployed is anyone age 15 or older who declares that he/she has no job at the census reference date, but is looking for it. These individuals have worked before.


The following types are not active: anyone who declares that he holds no job and is not looking for it.

3 FF Housewife, girls at home: every girl or women age 15 or older who does not practice any work but is taking care of the house and household members (cleaning, cooking.). Not all women are to be automatically classified in this category. Enumerator should separate between housewife and women who do some activities (weaving, agriculture, serving) for money or in-kind values. Therefore these women should be classified in the former categories according to their status during the census.

4 EC Student, pupil: every individual whose primary activity is limited to going to school or professional training establishment during 2003-2004 school year, if he was not planning to attend next year. But, the student who has finished his schooling is considered active: occupied or unemployed depending on his situation.
If a student has a part time job, even if it paid, he is still considered to be a student. In addition, a student civil servant is considered a student even if he is receiving a salary. However an employee who is a taking night classes or education to improve his skills is considered as an occupied active.

5 REN Living on private belongings: he/she is not active. His earnings are from renting properties (apartment, farming land).

6 RET Retired: he/she is not active. His earnings are from retirement plan from private or government establishments. But, if this person is practicing economical activities, then he/she should be considered occupied active.

7 MAL Disabled, handicapped, sick person: is a person whose handicap/illness prevents him from doing any job.

8 JEU Child: younger than 15, doesn't work and is not in school.

9 AUT Other cases, specify: for instance an elder person with no income.
