Interviewer instructions

For determining the usual activity status of the person at the time of leaving the last upr i.e. at the time of migration, the reference period to be adopted will be 365 days preceding the date of migration. The determination of the usual activity status will be done adopting the 'relatively long time criterion' as described in para 5.0.15. The usual activity status will naturally relate to the principal status. After determining the 'usual status' of the person the code relevant to the status assigned will be recorded here. The code structure is the same as given in para 5.5.1.2.
