Description

Universe
All household members aged 15 years and older who were willing to accept jobs if offered, and had tried to look for work in the four weeks prior to the interview.

Others

Notes
The purpose of this question was to establish whether a person had taken any action to look for a job or start any kind of business in the last four weeks prior to the interview. The instruction to the enumerator was to complete both given categories with either a 'Yes' or a 'No' answer. If 'No' to both part a) and b, the enumerator should skip to Question 3.3; and if any 'Yes' to part a) and b), the enumerator should continue to Q3.2.
