Description
Definition
"Worked at all" for purposes of this survey means that a person reported to his place of work and performed his duties/activities for at least one hour during the reference week, which is the calendar week.
Work is defined as any economic activity that a person does for pay, in cash or in kind, in any establishment, office, farm, private house or for profit or without pay on family farm or enterprise.
a. Work for pay - if a person works for an employer, whether in establishment, office, farm or private residence (other than his own) and receives salary/wage, commissions, tips, in cash or in kind, or other forms of compensation such as free meals, and/or free living quarters, support in school, etc.
b. Work for profit - if a self-employed person works for profit in own business such as sari-sari store, farm, dress shop or for fees in practice of one's profession or trade.
The following activities are considered work for profit:
• Gardening in at least 100 sq. meters of solid patches (the plants not scattered all around) whether the produce is mainly for sale or for family consumption.
• Gardening in less than 100 sq. meters if the produce is mainly for sale.
• Fishing, occasional gathering of forest or marine products mainly for sale.
• Cultivation of at least 300 sq. meters of land for temporary, annual or biennial crops or shrubs, or maintenance of an orchard of at least the same area even though the time spent is minimal.
• Raising of ornamental plants and flowers, seedling, black pepper or betel leaf for sale even if less than 100 sq. meters.
• Raising of the following number of fowls or animals during the reference period:
Fowls of at least 1 month old:
i) 30 or more chicken or ducks
ii) 10 or more turkeys or geese
iii) 50 or more pigeons
iv) 100 or more quails
or a proportional of the above as in case of 40 pigeons and 6 chickens or ducks; or 80 quails and 10 pigeons.
Animals
i) 3 or more pigs at least 3 months old
ii) 3 or more goats
iii)10 or more rabbits
iv)1 cattle, carabao or horse
or a proportional combination of the above, for example, 7 rabbits and 1 pig or 4 rabbits and 1 pig or goat
• Making a single article for sale
Note: For any of the activities mentioned above, if the produce is intended for home consumption, there must be harvest of crops, disposal of fowls or animals, either through own consumption, barter, given away or sold to consider the activity as work.
c. Work without pay on family farm or enterprise - if a person works without pay on a farm or enterprise that is operated by another family member in the same household.
Examples:
- A daughter who works without pay as salesgirl in a store operated by her mother
- A wife typing at home without pay for her husband who is an independent practising lawyer
- A nephew who works without pay in the clinic of his uncle with whom he lives
d. Work by farm operator/ family member on another's farm on exchange of labor - if a farm operator or a member of his family works on a farm being operated by another household on exchange labor arrangements. This is usually practiced by agricultural workers during the height of rice planting and harvesting seasons.
Employed persons are those who were reported to be either at work or with a job or
business although not at work during the reference week. Persons at work are those who did some work, at least for an hour, during the reference period (past calendar week).
Persons are also considered employed if they are with a job or business even though not at work during the reference period because of temporary illness/injury, vacation or other leave of absence, bad weather, strike/labor disputes or other reasons.
