Interviewer instructions
The focus of Q8.12- Q8.21 is on the migrant's work situation, i.e., whether working or not, is there a contract, how long did it take to find the job, how many days per week are worked, a description of the current employer, whether the respondent has managerial or supervisory duties, the approximate net income, whether the respondent contributes to any social benefit schemes, how long it takes to reach the nearest public transport and how long the person waits for public transport.
