Asks about production activities, or business that the household manages, not
salaried work or work managed by other households.
All codes for activities/industry are recorded with industry code for economic activities
which are recorded later by the team leader. Here, a maximum of five economic activities are
recorded. If there are more than that, the interviewer requests to re-identify the five most
important activities, that is, those bringing the highest income to the household.
