Interviewer instructions
The usual activity status of a person will be
determined on the basis of the various activities pursued by the person during the reference period of 365 days adopting “relatively long time (major time)” criterion. For this, a person has to be first classified into one of the three broad category groups (working, not working but seeking and/or available for work and neither working nor available for work) on the basis of the time spent on them during the reference period of 365 days preceding the date of survey. Thus the broad activity status of a person will be one of the three category groups, on which the person spent relatively long time during the 365 days. In deciding this, one should consider only the normal working time available for pursuing the various activities and not 24 hours of each day. After deciding the broad usual status of the person, the detailed activity status within the broad group will be determined adopting again the “relatively long” or 'major time” criterion. The detailed activity status, thus determined, will be the principal usual activity status of the person. The code corresponding to this activity status will be recorded in col. (2) against the serial number of the person. It may be noted that if a person found to be engaged in domestic duties (or any non-gainful activity for a relatively long period of the reference period of 365 days is also reported to be simultaneously seeking/available for work, the person should be categorized as “unemployed” and not as “engaged in domestic duties” ( or the non-gainful activity pursued).
