Interviewer instructions
Columns 25-26:
[Ask persons who aged 13 years or older or who were born before 1 April 1990]
Column 25: Occupation during the last 7 days (25-31 March 1990)
Ask: "Between 25-31 March, 2000 ...... (name) ...... what occupation did you spend most of your time on?"
Record the specific occupation, job description, or position that a person did during the 7 days before the census date. Examples are commercial rice farming, cassava planting, coconut growing, electrical-appliance sale person, chief of the finance department, painter, molder, furniture carpenter, laborer, maid, soil digger, etc. (Do not record the occupation such as government officer, businessman because they are not specific.)
For craftsman, teacher, engineer, mechanic, medical doctor, nurse, driver, agricultural worker, employee, record their specific occupations in the same way as the record of last year occupation (see the instruction for recording last year occupation from the PHC2 form, part 2, column 9.)
If in the past week before the census date, a person had more than one occupation, record only one occupation by considering the following criteria:
1. The occupation in which a person spent most of his time in the past 7 days before the census date.
2. The occupation in which a person earned higher wage or income than other occupations, if he/she spent equal amount of time for both occupations.
If the respondent has a permanent (or regular) occupation, such as a primary-school teacher in a government school or a typist in an automobile sell company, and:
1. During the past 7 days (25-31 March 1990) he/she did not work because he/she was sick or took a leave of absence, the occupation of that person during the last 7 days before the census date was his/her permanent work.
2. During the past 7 days (25-31 March 2000), he/she did not work on his permanent job because he/she took a leave of absence or school was closed for vacation, and he was engaged in other work, the occupation in the last 7 days before the census date was another work that he was doing during the last 7 days.
Example: Mr. A is a primary-school teacher in a government school during 25-31 March, 1990, and the school was closed for vacation. During that time, Mr. A had made bamboo baskets for sale at his house. Therefore, Mr. A's occupation during the last 7 days before the census date was a bamboo-basket maker.
A permanent job in this context means the occupation in which a person did not work in the past 7 days before the census date but still received wage, salary or anything in return on a regular basis, and that person still maintain his position during that 7 days period before the date of the census even though he may not receive wage, salary or anything in return during the time he did not work.
If the enumerator does not knowing the occupation but knows that the person was working, record "working but not knowing occupation."
If record the occupation a person did during the week before the census date or record "working but not knowing the occupation" in column 25, skip to column 27.
For persons who do not have permanent occupation such as laborer, if in the last 7 days (25-31 March 1990) he/she did not work, record "not working".
For those who are not working such as the pensioner, lenders, etc., consider them as not working and record "not working".
If record "Not working" in column 25, continue to the next column.
