Description

Definition
Use information from all sections (12 months/7 days/any other section) that may provide information.

First use information from the 12 month section. For all missing values and observations coded as 9, use the 7 day section.

If data allows generation of EMP_IND_SVY_1, recode it to generate INDUSTRY_1 according to SHIP requirements (refer Annexure-2).

If data does not follow ISIC classification system, make appropriate assumptions to classify employment industry. Carefully document assumptions.

Individuals identified in any section on agricultural activity are coded as 1(Agricultural and fishing).

Individuals identified in a household enterprise section and where the industry of the enterprise is available, code them accordingly. In many household enterprise sections, the industry of the enterprise is not available. In such cases do not classify the individual in any industry.

Heads of households engaged in agricultural activities are coded as 1 (Agriculture and Fishing)

Heads of households owning household enterprises are coded according to the industry of the household enterprise, if this information is available; or left as uncoded if the industry of the enterprise is not available.

Individuals identified as EMPLHOME=1 OR FETCHWOOD=1 OR FETCHWATER=1 are coded as 1.
