Interviewer instructions
Questions Only For People With 7 Years And Older
P21. Did you work last week?
Read the question and each of the alternatives to get a response. Then mark the number corresponding to the response.
If you checked the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, go to P23. If you checked the number the number 5, go to P22, and ask if in last week the respondent was in the farm, producing or selling products on the market, informal trade, dumba-neng or at home.
If you checked the numbers 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11, go to P27.
Keep in mind that:
- "a week before" refers to the week from 25 to 31 July 1997;
- In rural areas there is a tendency of farmers to respond that they are not working, particularly by the fact that the month of August is a weak month in agricultural terms. If the respondent actually did not work, mark X in box number 2 of the question P21 "Did not work but have a job."
- You should consider the people who worked in one of the following situations:
- Employees on vacation at the time of the census. Tick the box of number 2;
- Hospital patients, persons on leave for childbirth, not workers who worked during the reference week due to pregnancy, strike, natural calamity, provided that in the reference week still maintain the link with the employer usually made or any activity. Mark X in box number 2 of P21.;
- Seasonal workers. Mark X in box number 2 of P21.;
- household members who helped in the reference week (without pay) in the work of the chief farm trade, business, workshop, sewing, etc. Mark X in box number 3 of P21. These people should be considered in P25 as unpaid family workers, alternative 6.
Consider that:
- one person who works beyond home work is usually working for sale, for example, cakes, sewing, or has other business paid to improve the performance of household. You should not regard the person as housewife;
- "Person who did not work, but has a job", refers to a person with a regular occupation which did not in the reference week worked for being sick, vacation, maternity leave, labor strike or other reason. Mark X in box number 2. Skip to P23;
- "Person helped family", a person who supported the family members at their occupations or work for them, but without pay. For example, a daughter who helped her mother in the fields.
- "sought new employment" refers to the person that during the reference week did not work because he/she was fired, resigned or terminated employment before his contract and is waiting for another job opportunity. Mark X in box number 4;
- "Housewife" if the person in the reference week was occupied with only the work of your own home. Mark X in box number 5. Skip to P22;
- "Looking for a job for the 1st time" if the person has never worked and was looking for his/her first paid employment. Mark X in box number 6. Skip to P27, if applicable;
- FADM if the person in the reference week was a member of the Armed Forces of Mozambique (FADM). Mark X in box number 7. Skip to P27.
- It should only be considered as the student who found himself enrolled in a school or institution official, private or community in the reference week. Mark X in box number 8. Skip to Q27, if applicable.
Do not consider student-workers as students. These should be framed among the alternatives of work.
- Consider as retired the person who has not worked, who depends on retirement or pension during the reference week. Mark X in box number 9 and skip to Q27.
- However, if a pensioner or retiree is engaged in any gainful employment, he/she must be included in an alternative work (1, 2 or 3);
- Consider as "disabled" person that has not work because he/she is permanently unable to work due to age or some physical or mental impairment in the reference week. Mark X in box number 10 and skip to Q27;
- Consider as "other "if the person was not framed in any of the above. Mark X in box number 11. Skip to Q27.
