Interviewer instructions

For recording entries in this column, it will be ascertained whether or not the persons enumerated in column (1) were engaged in any gainful activity in their subsidiary capacity during the 365 days preceding the date of survey, or in other words whether or not they did some gainful work, more or less regularly even though intermittently, for a shorter duration of time during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. For person who pursued some gainful activities in their subsidiary capacity, code 1 will be recorded in this column. For others who did not have any subsidiary gainful activities during the period, code 2 will be recorded. It may be noted that engagement in gainful activities in the subsidiary capacity may arise out of two situations (i) a person may be engaged for relatively a long period during the last 365 days in non-gainful activity and for the remaining period engaged in gainful activities, (ii) a person may be pursuing non-gainful activities in the principal capacity throughout the year but only for a relatively shorter time. For the purpose of recording entries in this block, for both the situations illustrated above, the person will be considered to have pursued some subsidiary gainful activity, although according to the relatively long time criterion of determining the principal usual status, he/she has been categorized 'not working' in block 6.
