WRITE DETAILED DESCRIPTION ON THE SPACE PROVIDED.
IF STUDENT/HOUSEKEEPER/DEPENDENT, DO NOT ASK P14. GO TO NEXT HOUSEHOLD MEMBER.
IF STUDENT/HOUSEKEEPER/DEPENDENT, DO NOT ASK P14. GO TO NEXT HOUSEHOLD MEMBER.
Ask the question in Column P13: “During the past 12 months, what was _________'s usual activity/occupation?” for all persons 15 years old and over. Write on the space provided the type of activity/occupation of the person.
This will be coded later in the Provincial Office using the Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC). Through this question we can determine whether a person is a gainful worker or a non-gainful worker.
For persons who did not work during the past 12 months, their usual activity/occupation relates to the non-gainful activities they usually do most of the year or to their status.
These persons will be reported in any of the following:
1. Housekeeper, own home
2. Student
3. Pensioner (quite old to work and receiving monthly pension or annuity)
4. Retired (quite old to work and not receiving monthly pension or annuity, including those retired from the government service or private employment who can still work but do not care to work anymore)
5. Persons with disability (persons suffering from permanent illness or permanent disability)
6. Dependent (other than above) and others.
For purposes of this census, a person is considered as a gainful worker or usually working most of the time during the past 12 months if he/she works for at least 10 hours a week for six months (26 weeks) or longer, including vacation or sick leave, in one or more of these classes of work:
1. work for pay (wage, salary, commission, tips, and others);
2. work for profit in own farm, business, private practice of a profession or trade; and
3. work without pay on own family farm or business.
For persons whose activities varied during the preceding 12 months, report as his/her usual activity/occupation that which he/she was engaged in for more than six months. However, if none of these activities lasted for more than six months, report the one which had the longest duration.
Take note of the following cases:
1. When reporting usual occupation, note that a gainful activity takes precedence over a non-gainful one when a person is engaged in both types of activities at the same time. For example, a student works in a slaughterhouse as a helper every other day in the mornings and he/she goes to school everyday in the afternoons. Report his/her occupation as a slaughterhouse helper.
However, note that if the activities do not occur at the same time, such that there is a clear-cut period to separate the gainful from the non-gainful one, report the activity which occurs more than six months.
2. If for several years a person had been a school teacher but on August 1, 2007 has already quit his/her teaching job and is operating a palay farm, his/her usual occupation is still an elementary school teacher. Again, the reference should be the past 12 months.
3. During the census, a person may be working in a job other than his/her usual occupation. For instance, a palay farmer or fisherman works temporarily as a carpenter. In this case, the report should be “Palay farmer” or “Fisherman”, and not the temporary jobs they are presently doing.
Always describe the specific job or occupation performed by the person in the establishment, office, farm, and others such as radio technician, records clerk, typist, stenographer, lawyer, farm manager, elementary school teacher, bill collector, carpenter, hospital attendant, and others.
Answers such as agent, engineer, mechanic, employee, and others, do not describe adequately the work performed. Ask the respondent additional questions like “Does this person work for a life insurance company, advertising agency, and others?” or “What kind of engineer/mechanic is he/she?” If the respondent gives a long description of the actual duties of work of the person, report the occupation that fits the description.
Avoid such ambiguous descriptions as owner, partner, businessman, and others. They do not adequately describe the occupation of the person. They simply indicate the proprietary relationship of the person to the business and some owners do not do any work in connection with their business.
If a person is the owner of an enterprise and he/she manages it or participates in its management, report “Manager” as his/her occupation. However, if such enterprises emerge in wholesale and retail trade, hotel, dormitory, restaurant, cafeteria, or other lodging or eating place, said owner managing or participating in the management of the enterprise should be reported as “wholesale merchant”, “retailer”, or “working proprietor”.
Note however, that a partner in a business who is paid by the partnership to manage the business should be reported as “manager” and not “working proprietor”. Check for the consistency of the usual activity/occupation of a person with his/her highest grade/year completed. For instance, you need to probe further if the person's usual occupation is “civil engineer” or “lawyer” but the highest grade/year completed is only “high school graduate”.
This will be coded later in the Provincial Office using the Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC). Through this question we can determine whether a person is a gainful worker or a non-gainful worker.
For persons who did not work during the past 12 months, their usual activity/occupation relates to the non-gainful activities they usually do most of the year or to their status.
These persons will be reported in any of the following:
1. Housekeeper, own home
2. Student
3. Pensioner (quite old to work and receiving monthly pension or annuity)
4. Retired (quite old to work and not receiving monthly pension or annuity, including those retired from the government service or private employment who can still work but do not care to work anymore)
5. Persons with disability (persons suffering from permanent illness or permanent disability)
6. Dependent (other than above) and others.
For purposes of this census, a person is considered as a gainful worker or usually working most of the time during the past 12 months if he/she works for at least 10 hours a week for six months (26 weeks) or longer, including vacation or sick leave, in one or more of these classes of work:

Description
The term usual activity/occupation refers to the kind of job or business, which a person was engaged in most of the time during the last 12 months preceding the interview. In other words, usual activity/occupation is the person's principal means of earning a living like real estate salesman, medical doctor, building architect, rice farmer, elementary school teacher, police inspector, and lawyer during the past 12 months.
For persons 15 years old and over.
