Description

Definition
In order to establish a linkage between the past week and the past quarter employment characteristics of the population, questions based on the past quarter reference period will also be asked.

"Past quarter" as used here refers to the last three calendar months preceding the interview. The same concept of work as presented in the earlier section will be used to ascertain the economic activity of a person. If a person worked during the past quarter even for only one hour, then he would be considered at work and would have a code of "1" in column 42.
