<svar a="all" v="FR68A438"><span class="em">Question 13: People working by helping another person in their profession, while not being paid.</span><br />It sometimes happens that some people - especially women - work by helping another person in his profession, without receiving a salary for it. These people will answer "yes" to question 12, even if they only work part time in these situations.<br />For example, this question effects the wife of a farmer who participates in the work of the farm, the wife or daughter of a merchant who spends several hours per day in the shop to ensure the sales or to operate the cash register.<br /></svar>
