Description

Definition

• Attending school: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they go to school.
• Housekeeping: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they look after the household.
• Feeling sufficient: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they already feel sufficient both in terms of revenue as well as time. It may also be possible that they do not feel the need to look for a job/prepare a business because they have savings or rent house from which they earn revenue in interest or rent money. They therefore feel sufficient to fulfill their need.
• Unable to do a job: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because their physical and mental condition does not enable them to do a job, such as being old or disabled.
• Others: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because of other reasons not mentioned above.
