Interviewer instructions
- This section tries to determine the employment characteristics of persons 15 years of age and over. Their economic activity status is what is assessed, that is whether the respondents in question are employed, unemployed or out of the labour force. This section tries to determine for those persons unemployed or out of the labour means employed to sustain their livelihoods. This section also takes a look at the employed and whether the employment activities engaged in are tourism related. For the self employed respondents are asked for information on the level of informality associated with their businesses, the amount of weekly sales generated etc.
- This question measures usual activity status, this is an attempt to determine how much work a respondent received during the course of the last 12 months. Please note that vacation time is not to be considered as time away from work since during a period of vacation the respondent would still have a formal attachment to his/her job. What is required is the number of months for which the respondent was employed for pay, profit or family gain during the last twelve months and this includes periods of vacation where a formal attachment is maintained to the job.
