Interviewer instructions

Write the order number of the four most important:

If there are more than 4 activities, the interviewer requests the respondent identify
the 4 most important activities and record them in order of importance. If the household has only
one business/trade, do not ask this question.
The interviewer has to identify trades/businesses of the household in order of importance
based on income. In case of many trades/activities with the same incomes, the interviewer should
consider other criteria such as working hours, number of labourers, the stability or tradition of the
activities/trades.
