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 is asked of persons who did no work in the previous seven days. You will determine whether they would have worked, but had not done so due to being ill, being on vacation, being subject to strike lockouts, or any other condition which resulted in a temporary absence of the person from work. If the person is employed and was only temporarily absent from work, record ‘Yes’ and skip to Q4.9. If the person did no work last week and was not absent from any job that was waiting for them, based on a contract or a definite obligation from an employer, record No and continue with Q4.4
