Interviewer instructions
5.6. Section E: Employment and Economic Activities
This section is to be asked for every person fifteen (15) years and older listed on the flap.
If "yes" for a person to any of the questions from p-30a to p-30g, go to p-36 for that person.
[p.53]
Even if the person did only one of the mentioned activities even for at least one hour during the past 7days the skip to Question P-36 is still valid.
If "no" to all questions from p-30a to p-30g, continue with p-31 to p-35 for that person.
(P-31): Temporary absence from work: Even though (the person) did not do any of these activities in the last seven days, does he/she have a job, business, or other economic or farming activity that he/she will definitely return to?
This question is only to be asked of those persons who have not been engaged in any activities in the last 7 days, i.e. No to all of P-30a to P-30g.
The most common group is people on leave, e.g. annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave or any other leave. They did not work in the last 7 days, but they have a job to go back to and should be recorded as active in their usual job.
Note that if a person is not working because of the off-season in agriculture or other seasonal industries, he/she is not to be regarded as temporarily absent. He/she is regarded as unemployed or not economically active until the next season begins.
If the answer is "No", continue with P-32.
If the answer is "Yes", Go to P-36.
