Interviewer instructions
This question seeks information on how the respondent supports him/herself since he is not working. More than one response is possible.

Note: If a person is coded 1 in I 17 (did odd jobs during the last week), YOU MUST PROBE AND FIND OUT IF HE/SHE WORKED MORE THAN 1 (ONE) HOUR. If is it more than one hour, this means that he/she should be asked questions on employment rather than unemployment. The interviewer should therefore go back to D1 and code this person accordingly.
Question post text
If answered 1, then GO BACK TO D
