Questions and instructions

Question pretext

This section asks some general questions about your work. Some questions may not apply to everyone, but we have to ask them in order to be able to compare answers across countries. For the first question, I'd like you to think about the kinds of physical activity you have to do as a regular part of your work (or in your last work) as [Occupation]
