Interviewer instructions
HH - 8: Is this housing unit provided free by the employer/friend or relative of any member of this household?
11. If the response to HH - 6 is 'No', that is, if the housing unit is not owned by any member of the household, then find out if the housing unit is provided free by the employer/friend or relative of any member(s) of the household. When housing is provided by the employer, it may or may not involve payment of rent as sometimes employers charge full rent, sometimes a nominal rent and sometimes no rent at all. If the employer deducts any amount of money from the salary of any member of the household for rent, then the housing unit is not provided free.
12. When an employer provides a housing unit then it is not necessary to find out whether or not the employer is also the owner of that house/housing unit. For example, the housing unit may be owned by a private landlord but rented by a company which has provided this housing unit to its employee. As far as this household is concerned, the housing unit has been provided by the employer.
13. If the housing unit is provided free by the employer then skip questions HH - 9 and go to HH - 10 since HH - 9 would not be relevant to such a household. If the response is 'No', then you ask the next question. In either case enter the appropriate code in the box provided.
