Interviewer instructions
Information for this item will be collected with a reference period of last 365 days. A household member with earning either from economic activities and/or from non-economic activities will be considered as an earner in the household. Place of work will refer to the place where the activities, considering both the economic and non-economic activities together, are performed by the earners. Distance will mean the one way actual distance from residence to the place of work normally travelled by the earner. For a household with a single earner, there will not be any problem in ascertaining the maximum distance normally travelled to the place of work by him/her. In case there is more than one earner in a household, the distance will be the maximum distance travelled by any earner.
However, for the pensioners, remittance recipients and rentiers, who may travel certain distances to collect money from the banks or post offices or from the tenants, code 1 will always be entered. For persons, whose place of work is not fixed, e.g., hawkers, casual workers, mobile trade, beggars, etc., the distance normally travelled from residence to the farthest point of his/her area of operation may be considered for assigning codes in this item. In all the situations, the distance normally travelled from residence to the farthest point of his/her place of activity will be ascertained and the relevant code will be entered.
