Interviewer instructions
5.4.13 Columns (14)-(20): Columns (14) to (20) will be filled in only for those persons whose place of enumeration is different from the place of last upr (i.e., for those with code 1 recorded in col. 13).



5.4.17 Column (18): Usual activity status at the time of leaving last upr: For determining the usual activity status of the person at the time of leaving the last upr i.e. at the time of migration, the reference period to be adopted will be 365 days preceding the date of migration. The determination of the usual activity status will be done adopting the 'relatively long time criterion' as described in paragraph 5.0.15. The usual activity status will naturally relate to the principal status. After determining the 'usual status' of the person the code relevant to the status assigned will be recorded here. The code structure is the same as given in paragraph 5.5.1.2.
