Description

Universe
All household members aged 15 years and older, who had worked before and were currently unemployed or not economically active.

Others

Notes
This question was applicable to household members who had worked before, but were currently unemployed. It is important that the main tasks should be in English as the occupational codes are in that language only. The instruction to the enumerator was to ask the respondent the main tasks or duties done in his/her last job given in Question 3.15.a. Questions 3.15.a and 3.15.b were write-in questions. The responses were used to determine the person's last occupation. The occupation was coded to four digits on the basis of the South African Standard Classification of Occupations (SASCO).
