Interviewer instructions
21.1 Last week's occupation prior to the census date
This is work for which a person spent most of his time, between the dates of March 25th and March 31st, 2000.
Column S13-S16 and L17-L22
[Ask persons age 13 years or older]
Column L17, L18, L19: Last week work (25 -- 31 Mach, 2000)
[Questions were asked of persons age 13 years or older]
[p. 109]
[Table summarizing columns L17-L19 not presented here]
Procedure for recording the form
Column L17: Last week occupation
The question asked [of respondent] "Between March 25th and March 31st, 2000, in what kind of occupation did you spend most of your time?"
If working:
Record clearly the occupation, job description, and position that a person had during the past 7 days before the census date (such as commercial rice farming, cassava planting, coconut growing, electrical appliance sales person, chief of the financial section, painter, molder, furniture carpenter, rice transport laborer, mail, earth digger, etc.)
(Note: do not record the occupation as government official, businessman because they are ambiguous).
For the occupations like craftsman, teacher, engineer, mechanic, medical doctor, nurse, driver, agricultural worker, employee:
Record their occupations [to be] the same as the record of last
[p. 110]
year's occupation (see the procedure for recording last year's occupation from the PHC2 form, column S14)
If in the week before the census date a person had more than one occupation, record only one occupation by considering the following criteria:
1. The occupation where a person spent most of his time in the past 7 days before the census date.
2. The occupation where a person earned higher wages or income than for other occupations - if a person spent equal amounts of time in both occupations.
3. Ask the respondent to select the occupation by himself, if a person spent equal time in [both] occupations and earned an equal amount of income from [both] occupation.
If the work is a permanent occupation, such as a primary school teacher in the government school or a typist in an automobile selling company:
1. If during the past 7 days (March 25th-31st, 2000) a person did not work because of sickness or taking a leave of absence, the occupation for that particular person during the previous week before the census date was his permanent work.
2. If during the past 7 days (March 25th-31st, 2000) a person did not work for his permanent occupation because of a leave of absence or school closing, but did another kind of work, the occupation in the previous 7 days before the census date was a different kind of work that [the one] he was doing at that time.
For Example:
Mr. A is a primary school teacher in the government school. During the March 25th-31st, 2000 week, the school was closed. Mr. A made bamboo baskets, to be sold at his house. Therefore, the occupation of Mr. A during the 7 days before the census date was "Bamboo basket maker".
Permanent job:
The specific meaning of this is a kind of occupation, in which a person receives wages, salary or anything in return on a regular basis - even though during the 7 days before the census date a person did not do the work - that person still maintains his position during that 7 days period before the date of the census.
If [the respondent] knows the occupation but not the position:
Record the occupation on the space provided and record a dash for the position.
[p. 111]
If [the respondent] does not know the occupation, job description, or the position, but the enumerator is sure that person is working:
Record "Working, but occupation not known".
If recording the occupation that a person had during the week before the census date:
Record "Working, but occupation not known" in column L17, leave columns L18 and L19 blank.
For those whose work status was recorded in column S16 as code "7" or "unpaid family worker": if during the past 7 days (March 25th-31st, 2000) a person did not work:
Record "Not working".
For those who are not working such as the pensioner, having income from loan interest, etc. they are considered not working
Record "not working".
If recorded "Not working" in column L17, continue asking [questions for] the next column.
This is work for which a person spent most of his time, between the dates of March 25th and March 31st, 2000.
Column S13-S16 and L17-L22
[Ask persons age 13 years or older]
Column L17, L18, L19: Last week work (25 -- 31 Mach, 2000)
