Question 10 of the persons sheet
Every person must answer must answer either by marking or with words about the
predominant livelihood. However, only one answer is allowed--as is clearly noted on the persons sheet.
Whoever works 14 hours weekly on average is considered as "employed".
For a person who is a family member assisting in a family business, especially for housewives, who assist with the business of their husband, for pensioned persons with a side job and for working students it is often difficult to determine if they are employed. In such cases, it is noted in the explanations as a decision making aid, a minimum average weekly time of 14 hours [is required]. Any persons who works less, is "unemployed". Any person who therefore works 14 or more hours a week on average, is considered as employed.
With Question 10 it is decided, which questions on the right half of the persons sheet must be answered. If "employed" was marked, then all questions on the right-hand side of the sheet should be answered. If "Child, pupil, student" was marked, then questions 12 through 14 for the currently attended school should be answered--omitted naturally are children who do not yet attend school. If "unemployed" or "active duty personnel" is marked, then all the questions on the right-hand side of the sheet up through question 14 should be answered (an employment therefore cannot be given for this person). As a result, give answers about the last practiced profession or the previously attended school.
If something different was marked or written in words in Question 10 (i.e. pensioner, retired person, or housewife, etc.), thus only Question 11 should be answered. For Question 10 of the persons sheet, compare also the test specimen on page 16.
