Interviewer instructions

Record months far away from home of household members if any. Month is
counted as the sum of total days, not as calendar month, that is a month is counted as 30 days
going far for work. For example: One person has gone far from home to work for 10 days in
April, 15 days in May, 10 days in June, the total days is 35 days, only a month is counted, the left
5 days is not counted. If the left days is over 15 days, one more month will be counted, less than
15 days will not be counted as a month. For example; the total working days of a person far from
home is 76 days, that will be counted as 3 months (76:30=2 surplus 16 and 16>15). If the
working days far from home is 75 days that will be counted as 2 months (75:30=2 surplus 15 not
over 15 days)
