Interviewer instructions
Identify the status of the respondent in the main job which they mentioned in Question 21.
Here, you have to classify the status in employment into one of the following six categories:
Paid employee:
A person who works for the Government, or a public or private employer, and who
receives remuneration in wages, salary, commission, tips, piece-rates or pay in cash or
in-kind, regardless of the employer's profit or loss.
Operating own business or farm with regular paid employees:
A person who operates his/her own economic enterprise or is engaged independently
in a profession or trade, and hires one or more regular paid employees (not counting
unpaid apprentices, casual labourers and unpaid family workers). Employers fall in
this category.
Operating own business or farm without regular paid employees:
A person who operates his/her own economic enterprise or is engaged independently
in a profession or trade. They may employ casual workers or unpaid employees, but
they hire no regular paid employees. These are own-account workers.
Contributing family member without pay:
A person who works without pay in an economic enterprise operated by a related
person living in the same household.
Other (specify):
A person who is not classified by status; an experienced worker whose status is
unknown or inadequately described.
In the case of paid employees, continue to the next question. For all other codes go to
question 26, except for code 3 (those operating own business or farm without regular
employees) where you should go to question 27.
