Column 16: How many months did you work during the last 12 months?
(Specify approximately the number of months spent in each category)
[] 1 Economic work done
[] 2 Extended economic work
[] 3 Seeking work
[] 4 No work done
This question has two parts; in the last 12 months (reference period),
i. What works did you do?
ii. How many months did you work?
The first section "what work did you do" is related with activities in column 15. In column 15, only one activity (which was usually undertaken in the last 12 months) should be encircled for any one of the codes from "1" through "8". But a person can do different categories of activities during the reference period. Although the person might have worked most of the time in any one activity of column 15 in the last 12 months, she/he also might have worked in other categories of work for shorter periods related with column 15.
Thus types of work include both categories of work that were usually undertaken for most of the time and jobs done for shorter time periods in the last 12 months.
The time duration involved for work means the time duration contributed in each category of work during the last 12 months. However, there may be a main job and works done for shorter time periods.
As mentioned above, the work done in the last 12 months is categorized into four groups with economic perspective for the census purpose.
a. The total time duration (including duration of mostly done and work done for fewer periods) in months while undertaking economic work (any activities of codes "1", "2", and "3" of column 15) should be recorded in code "1" of column 16.
b. The total time duration in months while undertaking extended economic work (activities of codes "4" of column 15) should be recorded in code "2" of column 16.
c. The total time spent in seeking a work or job in the last 12 months (seeking job for activities of codes "1", "2", and "3" of column 15) should be recorded in code "3" of column 16.
d. Economic work not done: The total time duration spent in the activities of codes "6" and "7" of column 15 and time spent for not doing any work (code 8 of column 15) should be recorded in code "4" of column 16.
First of all, the works undertaken by the enumerated person during the last 12 months should be explored. Then the total time duration spent in each of the four categories, namely: economic work done, extended economic work done, seeking job, and work not done should be recorded separately as mentioned earlier.
The total number of months recorded in each category "1", "2", "3" and "4" should be 12 months. If the total months exceed 12 months or is less than 12 months, then it should be corrected spontaneously by asking the respondent.
Note:
1.
a. If the enumerated person has undertaken either of the activities of code 1 or 2 or 3 or all these activities of column15 fulltime during the reference period, then the total number of months should be 12 in category 1 of column 16. In other words, if any one of the codes 1, 2, or 3 of column 15 is encircled, then category 1 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. If the enumerated person did not undertake any one of these activities (codes 1 or 2 or 3 of column 15), then only 0 should be written in category 1 of column 16.
b. If code 4 of column 15 is encircled, then category 2 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. But if the enumerated person did not carry out any extended economic work during the reference period, then category 2 of column 16 should be 0.
c. If the code 5 of column 15 is encircled, then category 3 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. But if enumerated person did not undertake seeking job or work during reference period, then the category 3 of column 16 should be 0.
d. If any one of the codes 6, 7 or 8 of column 15 is encircled, then category 4 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. In category 4 of column 16, the enumerator should write the total months by summing the number of months involved in code 6 and 7 activities and the number of months being idle or not doing any economic work (code 8) of column 15.
e. In last 12 months, although the enumerated person might be involved most of time in activities, as mentioned in codes 6, 7, and 8 of column 15, the person also might undertake other economic works, as mentioned in codes 1, 2, 3 of column 15 for shorter periods. If the enumerated person has performed economic works during the reference period, the total number of months involved in economic works should be written in category 1 of column 16. Also, if the enumerated person has performed extended economic work (code 4 of column 15) for shorter periods, the total number of months involved should be written in category 2 of column 16.
f. In addition to the total months, as mentioned in above section a , b, c, the number of months for activities like economic work, extended economic work, seeking job, work not done at all of categories 1,2,3,4 of column 16 respectively ranges between 0 and 12 months. The sum of months of all categories 1, 2, 3, and 4 of column 16 should be 12 months; otherwise the number will be incorrect.
2.
a. During the reference period, if any person has worked for one hour in a day, then it is assumed to be equivalent to doing economic work of a full day. If a person has undertaken economic work for less than an hour then it is assumed to be work not done at all for that day.
b. But answer should be written in months for total time period in such a way that 30 days (including working days and not working days) is equivalent to 1 month. While deriving the months, the total number of days is divided by 30 days. If the remainder is more than or equal to 15 days, then it is assumed as one month and if the remainder is less than 15 days, it is assumed to be 0 months.
c. If the person has undertaken different activities within a month, then the activity on which most of the time was contributed should be taken into account for enumeration purpose. If the amount of time is equal in different activities, then activity by which the income or profit is more, should be taken into account. In the case if the activity on which amount of time and income are equal, then enumerator should take that activity for which the respondent gives the priority.
(Specify approximately the number of months spent in each category)
[] 1 Economic work done
[] 2 Extended economic work
[] 3 Seeking work
[] 4 No work done
This question has two parts; in the last 12 months (reference period),
i. What works did you do?
ii. How many months did you work?
The first section "what work did you do" is related with activities in column 15. In column 15, only one activity (which was usually undertaken in the last 12 months) should be encircled for any one of the codes from "1" through "8". But a person can do different categories of activities during the reference period. Although the person might have worked most of the time in any one activity of column 15 in the last 12 months, she/he also might have worked in other categories of work for shorter periods related with column 15.
Thus types of work include both categories of work that were usually undertaken for most of the time and jobs done for shorter time periods in the last 12 months.
The time duration involved for work means the time duration contributed in each category of work during the last 12 months. However, there may be a main job and works done for shorter time periods.
As mentioned above, the work done in the last 12 months is categorized into four groups with economic perspective for the census purpose.
a. The total time duration (including duration of mostly done and work done for fewer periods) in months while undertaking economic work (any activities of codes "1", "2", and "3" of column 15) should be recorded in code "1" of column 16.
b. The total time duration in months while undertaking extended economic work (activities of codes "4" of column 15) should be recorded in code "2" of column 16.
c. The total time spent in seeking a work or job in the last 12 months (seeking job for activities of codes "1", "2", and "3" of column 15) should be recorded in code "3" of column 16.
d. Economic work not done: The total time duration spent in the activities of codes "6" and "7" of column 15 and time spent for not doing any work (code 8 of column 15) should be recorded in code "4" of column 16.
First of all, the works undertaken by the enumerated person during the last 12 months should be explored. Then the total time duration spent in each of the four categories, namely: economic work done, extended economic work done, seeking job, and work not done should be recorded separately as mentioned earlier.
The total number of months recorded in each category "1", "2", "3" and "4" should be 12 months. If the total months exceed 12 months or is less than 12 months, then it should be corrected spontaneously by asking the respondent.
Note:
1.
a. If the enumerated person has undertaken either of the activities of code 1 or 2 or 3 or all these activities of column15 fulltime during the reference period, then the total number of months should be 12 in category 1 of column 16. In other words, if any one of the codes 1, 2, or 3 of column 15 is encircled, then category 1 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. If the enumerated person did not undertake any one of these activities (codes 1 or 2 or 3 of column 15), then only 0 should be written in category 1 of column 16.
b. If code 4 of column 15 is encircled, then category 2 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. But if the enumerated person did not carry out any extended economic work during the reference period, then category 2 of column 16 should be 0.
c. If the code 5 of column 15 is encircled, then category 3 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. But if enumerated person did not undertake seeking job or work during reference period, then the category 3 of column 16 should be 0.
d. If any one of the codes 6, 7 or 8 of column 15 is encircled, then category 4 of column 16 should not be blank or 0. In category 4 of column 16, the enumerator should write the total months by summing the number of months involved in code 6 and 7 activities and the number of months being idle or not doing any economic work (code 8) of column 15.
e. In last 12 months, although the enumerated person might be involved most of time in activities, as mentioned in codes 6, 7, and 8 of column 15, the person also might undertake other economic works, as mentioned in codes 1, 2, 3 of column 15 for shorter periods. If the enumerated person has performed economic works during the reference period, the total number of months involved in economic works should be written in category 1 of column 16. Also, if the enumerated person has performed extended economic work (code 4 of column 15) for shorter periods, the total number of months involved should be written in category 2 of column 16.
f. In addition to the total months, as mentioned in above section a , b, c, the number of months for activities like economic work, extended economic work, seeking job, work not done at all of categories 1,2,3,4 of column 16 respectively ranges between 0 and 12 months. The sum of months of all categories 1, 2, 3, and 4 of column 16 should be 12 months; otherwise the number will be incorrect.
2.
a. During the reference period, if any person has worked for one hour in a day, then it is assumed to be equivalent to doing economic work of a full day. If a person has undertaken economic work for less than an hour then it is assumed to be work not done at all for that day.
b. But answer should be written in months for total time period in such a way that 30 days (including working days and not working days) is equivalent to 1 month. While deriving the months, the total number of days is divided by 30 days. If the remainder is more than or equal to 15 days, then it is assumed as one month and if the remainder is less than 15 days, it is assumed to be 0 months.
c. If the person has undertaken different activities within a month, then the activity on which most of the time was contributed should be taken into account for enumeration purpose. If the amount of time is equal in different activities, then activity by which the income or profit is more, should be taken into account. In the case if the activity on which amount of time and income are equal, then enumerator should take that activity for which the respondent gives the priority.
