Description

Definition

HHCURRWORKPAY reports how a currently working household member is paid: in cash, in kind, both in cash and in kind, or not at all. That only a small fraction of responses refer to no payment suggests that many respondents failed to include unpaid work in a family farm or business when answering questions about employment.
