The reference period  for  these approaches differ  - it being 365 days preceding  the date of survey  for  \u2018usual \nstatus\u2019, 7 days preceding  the date of survey  for \u2018current weekly status\u2019 and each day of  the 7 days preceding the date of survey for \u2018current daily status\u2019. Data were collected on the activity status of all persons, i.e. for workers, for those seeking or available for work and also for those remaining  out  of  labour  force.    A  worker  could  be  self-employed  or  enjoy  regular salaries\/wages  or  be  employed  on  casual  wage  basis.    Data  on  this  aspect,  along  with  the industry of work of  the worker and his\/her occupation, were collected during  this  survey.    In order  to  reveal  the multi-dimensional  features of  the  employment-unemployment  situation  in India, information on several correlates pertaining to it were also gathered. For the purpose of \ncollection of information on industry of activity, National Industrial Classification (NIC), 2004 and National Classification of Occupation (NCO) 2004 was used in this survey. The concepts used  to  collect  data  on  employment-unemployment  are  similar  to  those  used  in  the  usual quinquennial rounds.\n\nIn  the  present  survey,  migration  particulars  of  the  households  and  the  household members  were  also  collected  through  Schedule  10.2  (Employment  &  Unemployment  and Migration Particulars). Regarding households which have migrated to the place of enumeration during  the  last  365  days,  particulars  such  as  location  of  last  usual  residence,  pattern  of migration and  reason  for migration were  collected. Particulars of out-migrants who migrated out  to other village\/  town,  from  the household, any  time  in  the past,  such as present place of residence, reason for migration, period since leaving the household, whether presently engaged in any economic activity, whether sent remittances, number of times and amount of remittances \nsent during  last 365 days  to  the households  by  such  former members who had migrated out were collected.  Information on  the use of  remittances  received by  the households during  last 365 days  from  the members who migrated out any  time  in  the past was also collected.From each  of  the  sample  migrants,  information  on reason  for  migration,  period  elapsed  since migration,  location  of  last  usual  place  of  residence,  usual  activity  pursued  at  the  time  of migration, whether  a  return migrant,  etc.,  was  collected.  In  this  survey,  to  assess  the  short duration movements of  the people of India, for  the household members who had stayed away for employment or in search of employment for a period of 30 days to 6 months,  information on number of spells of duration of 15 days or more, destination for longest spell and industry of work, if worked, were collected. \n\nThe present round, Schedule 10.2 on employment-unemployment and migration particulars consisted of 12 blocks, including sub-block 3.1. \n\nThe first three blocks, viz. Blocks 0, 1 and 2, were used to record identification of sample households and particulars of field operations, as is the common practice in usual NSS rounds. Blocks 8, 9 and 10 were for recording the remarks of investigator\/senior investigator, superintendent\/senior superintendent and other supervisory officer, respectively. Of the remaining blocks, \n\nBlock 3 was for recording the household characteristics like household size, household industry, occupation, religion, social group, household type, land possessed, migration particulars of the households which migrated to the place of enumeration during the last 365 days, amount of remittances received and use of remittances by those households from which there were some out-migrants and monthly household consumer expenditure, etc. \nBlock 3.1 is for recording the particulars of out-migrants who migrated out from the household any time in the past.\n\nBlock 4 was for recording the demographic particulars, usual activity particulars, both principal and subsidiary, of all the household members. \n\nThe daily time disposition for different activities, for each of the seven days prior to the date of survey, along with the particulars of the activities, such as status, industry, operation (for rural areas only), etc. were recorded for each of the household members in Block 5. For the regular wage\/salaried employee and casual labourers, wage and salary earnings were also be collected in this block. Besides, the current weekly status (cws) will be derived in this block from the daily time disposition data. \n\nIn Block 6, information collected, from each household member, on whether stayed away from the village\/town for a period of 30 days or more but less than 6 months during the last 365 days and whether the place of enumeration is different from the last upr.  For those household members, who had stayed away for a period of 30 days or more but less than 6 months from a household, information will be collected regarding number of spells, destination during longest spell and if worked, industry of work at 2- digit level of NIC-2004 for the longest duration of work. Besides, for those household members whose last upr is different from the present place of enumeration, details will be collected such as whether a return migrant, nature of movement, period since leaving last usual place of residence, particulars of last usual place of residence, usual activity status at the time of migration, reason for migration, etc. \n\nIn block 7,  information on household consumer expenditure on 19 items were collected. The information on household consumer expenditure derived from this block was used as classificatory variable for analysis of employment-unemployment and migration data."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Field Operations Division of Naional Sample Survey Office","abbr":"NSSO(FOD)","affiliation":"Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation "}],"sampling_procedure":"A  stratified multi-stage design was adopted  for  the 64th round survey.
