Interviewer instructions

Similarly, this question seeks additional information on underemployment. However, it is not the same as that in column F19. A person could have worked for more hours if
He / she wanted, but may have preferred not to. This question will establish whether the respondent was available or ready to work for more hours during the last 7 days. If the answer is "yes" proceed to the next question, if "no" go the section H.
