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="ZA01A444"><span class="em">Question P-18a -- Reason why not working</span><br />Ask of all persons ages 10 years and older who said they did not have work.<br /><br />"What is the main reason why (the person) did not have work in the seven days before 10 October."<br /><br />If there is more than one reason, write the MAIN (most important) reason. The person must decide this for him/herself. Give him or her time to come up with a reason.<br /><br />If the person (or proxy) does not know, try to find one applicable category. For children aged 10-15 the most likely answer will be 1 = scholar or student. For other young persons it might be "6 = does not choose to work" or "7 = could not find work". Normally, people find a suitable category after some discussion.<br /></svar>
