Interviewer instructions
This question intends to find out the reasons why workers were temporary absent from their work during the last 7 days. Possible answers are provided below the question. There may be more than one reason, but you should record only the main one, i.e. only one code should be circled here. Category "11", other, specify" is for those answers which do not fall under any of the possible answers provided and the interviewer must clearly write down the reason as given by the respondent.
