Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions

For each person listed in column (1) of this block (which will be same as listed in column (1) of block 4), different activities pursued by them during all the seven days of the reference week will be serially numbered and this serial number of activity will be recorded in column (3). Presuming that the likelihood of one person pursuing more than four different activities in a week is rather remote, only four lines are provided for each person. As stated earlier, if a person pursues more than four different activities, the lines meant for the next person may be utilised. The current daily activity of a person is generally denoted by his status-cum-industry. For a persons in the rural areas who had current daily activity status 41 (casual labour engaged in public works), if the type of public works performed by the person on a day is different even for the same industry, these will be considered as different activities and separate serial numbers will be assigned for such activities in column (3). Thus, for a person in the rural areas with the same status, if the industry divisions (2-digit NIC-2004 code) are different (for activity status code 41, if either industry or type of public works done is different) on the same or different days, he will be considered to have pursued different activities and these activities will be entered in different lines. Information relating to public works will not be collected for persons in the urban areas. In urban areas, the current daily activity of a person is denoted by his status-cum-industry. Thus, if a person in urban area (urban sample) is engaged in the pubic works on half-a-day, say, 'road construction, laying pipes and cables' as casual labour (i.e., with status code 41) and on other half of the day he/she is engaged in other pubic work, say, 'building construction/ repair' as casual labour (i.e., with status code 41), he will be considered to have only one activity. But, in rural areas (rural sample), he will be considered to have two activities on that day and two separate lines will be used for recording his/her particulars of work.
