Description

Definition

• Desperate (to feel impossible to get a job): is a reason for those who repeatedly look for a job but have not successfully got one so that they feel impossible to get a job that they want. Or those who feel that due to a situation/ condition/ climate/ weather, it is impossible to get a job that they want.
• Have been admitted to a job, but have not started working: is a reason for those who are not looking for a job/preparing a business because they have been admitted to a job, but during the census taking, they have not started working.
• Going to school: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they go to school.
• Housekeeping: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they look after the household.
Already having a job/business: is a reason particularly for those who already have a job/business or already work so that they don't feel that they need to look for a job/prepare a business.
• Feeling sufficient: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because they already feel sufficient both in terms of revenue as well as time. It may also be possible that they do not feel the need to look for a job/prepare a business because they have savings or rent house from which they earn revenue in interest or rent money. They therefore feel sufficient to fulfill their need.
• Unable to do a job: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because their physical and mental condition does not enable them to do a job, such as being old or disabled.
• Others: is a reason for those who do not look for a job/prepare a business because of other reasons not mentioned above.
