Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Nature of employment is asked for all members 10 years old and over who had work or job during the past week.
Go to column 19 (normal working hours).
Nature of employment refers to the permanence or regularity or seasonality with which a particular work or job/business is being pursued. Only the appropriate code as enumerated in Chapter III needs to be entered in Column 18.
Nature of employment is one of the most difficult employment characteristics to determine on account of the great variety of economic activities and the circumstances under which they are pursued. This is particularly so among own account workers or agricultural workers whose work is characterized to a large extent by irregularity or seasonality.
In general, work is considered permanent if the person engaged in that activity works or expects to work for at least one year. For farm operators or farm workers, however, their job can be considered permanent even if they work or expect to work for only 10 calendar months in a year provided that during the remaining two months, their activities are in relation to farming such as inspection of the fields, pasturing of work animals, taking care of livestock and poultry or even simply cleaning equipment to be used in farming.
Always ask probing questions to ascertain more precisely the nature of employment of each person who is reported to have a job or business. Make notations or remarks on the back page of the questionnaire about the activities that seem to provide you with difficulties in classifying.
