Interviewer instructions
<svar v="ZA01A443 ZA01A444 ZA01A445 ZA01A446"><span class="em">Question P-18 -- Any work in the 7 days before 10 0ctober</span><br />Ask for all persons aged 10 years and over, that is, born before 10 October 1991<br /><br />Question 18 has four parts i.e. P-18, P-18a, P-18b and P-18c. Only those who are working continue with the rest of Question 18. Those who are not working go to Question 19.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="ZA01A446"><span class="em">Question P-18c -- Availability</span><br /><br />"If offered work, how soon could (the person) start?"<br /><br />We want to know how soon the person can start work. The answer "within one week" means s/he may belong to the "labour force" according to the narrow definition. For labour force policy this question is very important. If the person cannot tell you when s/he could start work, the correct choice may be 5 = "Does not choose to work". However, as for the last question, answers that apparently contradict the answer to Question 18a are acceptable. Dot the correct box.<br /><br /><span class="em"> National Bureau</span>: Some respondents may think that you are offering them employment. Be sure to make it clear that you are not offering any work.<br /><br />For all these people who have been answering P-18a, P-18b and P-18c on unemployment, skip the whole of P-19 and go to P-20.<br /></svar>
