Interviewer instructions
This is a screening question to determine the employment status of a household member. It is therefore important to ask probing questions to ascertain the existence of a job or business or unpaid work on family farm or enterprise during the reference week.
“Worked at all” for purposes of this survey means that a person reported to his place of work and performed his duties/activities for at least one hour during the reference week. Explain to the respondent the meaning of work. Refer to Chapter III of this manual for the definition of work.
One hour is the minimum time a person should be engaged in an economic activity to be considered as employed.
Given the previous example of the full time student, if during the interview in October he was working as a waiter even for only one hour during the past week, then the answer for column 13 would be “1” (YES).
