Question P-19 -- Work status
"How can one best describe (the person's) main activities or work status?"
Remember to focus on the seven days before the census.
If a person has two occupations ask for the occupation worked most at.
There are five possibilities. Read out the categories to the first respondent.
1 = "paid employee". This means a person who works for someone else or a company for a wage or salary, or for commissions from sales or bonuses, or for payment in kind such as food, housing or training.
2 = "paid family workers", e.g. in shops or on farms. They get a normal salary or wages.
3 = "self-employed". This means a person who has his or her own business or enterprise but does not employ other persons except for unpaid family workers.
4 = "employer". This means a person who works for him/herself and employs others in his or her business.
5 = "unpaid family worker". This means someone that works in a family business or on a family farm without receiving a monetary payment.
