Interviewer instructions
The principal usual activity status of each person is recorded in column (3). It is to be ascertained from persons whose principal usual activity status was - either employed (codes 11-51) or out of labour force (codes 91-97) - i.e., other than code 81 in column (3), whether they were seeking/available for work for some period during last 365 days or not. For example, a person may be employed in his/her principal usual activity status based on the majority time criterion. But he/she may have been looking for work for some period. Similarly, a girl may have been looking for job for sometime but subsequently got married and was engaged in the domestic duties. The latter activity might have been pursued for a relatively longer period. In all such cases, one of the codes 1 to 3 will be given in column (20), depending on the period (not necessarily continuous) they were seeking/available for work. If a person was not seeking or available for work any time during the preceding 365 days, the appropriate code will be 4.
