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 for all persons who said No to both Q4.2 and Q4.3 (neither currently working nor temporarily absent from work). Only one reason for not working will be recorded; if there is more than one reason, record the main reason. Use the response “maternity leave” who recently had or will be having a baby. After asking Q4.4 for someone who is not working nor temporarily absent from work, you must then skip to Q4.9.
