Interviewer instructions
The principal 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 preceding the date of survey adopting a 'relatively long time' ( or major time) criterion. The usual activities are grouped into three major categories 'working' 'not working but seeking and / or available for work' and 'neither working nor available for work'. For assigning suitable usual activity status codes to a person, he has to be first assigned one of the above three categories on the basis of the time spent on them during the reference period of 365 days. Only the normal working time available for pursuing any activity and not the 24 hours of each day will be considered for the purpose.
