Universe
All household members aged 15 years and older, who did not have jobs to return to and had not worked for pay, profit or family gain in the last four weeks prior to the interview, and who were not looking for work.

Others

Notes
The aim of this question was to find out when last a person had worked. The enumerator was asked to probe for more information since some people are usually uncertain of the required information.
