Interviewer instructions
Recall that overseas workers are listed as members of the household only for purposes of estimating the household population of the country. However, for purposes of determining the labor force characteristics, they shall be excluded.
Column 11 is used to identify the overseas contract worker and other overseas Filipino worker among the household members. A code of "1" is to be entered if a person is an OCW, regardless of whether he is out of the country to fulfill an overseas work contract for a specific length of time of visit or on vacation but still has an existing overseas work contract. Code "2" will be entered if a person is an overseas worker other than OCW or Filipinos who worked abroad without any contract.
For purposes of LFS, Filipino workers who usually go out of the country through "backdoor" means will be considered as overseas worker other than OCW (code 2) not OCWs. However, careful probing must be done before classifying them as overseas worker other than OCW. He must not have any work within the Philippines to be considered as overseas worker other than OCWs. If he has other work within the Philippines aside from those outside the Philippines, then he must be coded 5 (others).
Code 3 will be entered if the overseas worker is an employee in the Philippine embassy or consulates.
Students abroad and tourists will have a code of 4 while code 5 (Others) refers to members of the household who are not overseas workers. These persons are to be asked of Columns 12 to 44.
For OCWs, overseas workers other than OCWs, employees in Philippine Embassies, Consulates and other missions, only the demographic characteristics should be filled up.
