Interviewer instructions

The question seeks information to determine the currently economically active population. In this case the reference period is the last7 days to the interview day. In other words, the reference period is not fixed but floating. The reference period is short enough for the respondent to recall well that week preceding the interview day. The respondent will answer either "yes" or "no" and you should circle the appropriate code accordingly. For those persons who answer "yes" i.e. code "1" to this question, the interviewer should proceed to E (Employed). Otherwise, go to the next question, i.e. D2.
