Questions and instructions

Literal question
Now I would like to ask some questions about activities done in the last 7 days. Some of these activities are considered to be work, and some of them are important home-related activities.

During the last 7 days, did [Name] do any of the following work activities? Wage Job
Interviewer instructions
This question aims to identify whether during the last 7 days the respondent did any of the
economic activities shown in the question and, if they did, how many hours they spent doing
each activity. A more exact description of each activity is provided in the footnotes. For an
activity to count as work, the person must have done the activity for a total period of at least
one hour in the past week. The first two columns relate to jobs outside the home: column A
is for wage jobs and column B for recording time spent in any other business activity outside
the home. Columns C to I are for recording time spent on home-based work activities. It is
important to note that even activities such as looking after animals, fetching wood, and
collecting firewood, count as work. Record the total hours of work in the final column.
Question post text
If YES, record hours actually spent doing the activity during the last 7 days. If No, write '-'.
