Notes
This question was aimed at establishing the reasons why people were absent from their normal activities in the seven days prior to the interview. If more than one reason was given, only the main one was recorded. A provision was made to specify the reasons that were not on the pre-coded list. If option 12 or 13 was selected, the enumerator should go to Question 3.1; for all other reasons the enumerator should proceed to Section 4.
