Interviewer instructions
Question P-19a -- Business or company name

"What is the FULL name of the business/company or organisation for whom (the person) works?"

If the person works for him/herself (self-employed or employer), and the business does not have a name, write self.

If the person performs paid domestic work in a private household, enter "domestic service".

National Bureau: Write the response in the boxes provided and make sure that you write inside the boxes not outside. Do not leave empty boxes in between words. Make sure that you start at the top left corner and write only as much as will fit.

Question P-19b -- Company or business activity

"What does the business do (main economic activity)?"

Here we are interested in the main economic activity of the local unit of the organisation for whom the person works.

This may differ from the type of work the person performs, which is asked in the next question. For example, someone may be an accountant in a gold-mining organisation, or a messenger in a bank. In the first example, the main activity of the organisation is gold mining, while in the second, it is banking. Describe the activity in as much detail as possible.
