India - Trade Survey: NSS 53rd Round, Schedule 2.41.2, January 1997 - December 1997

The number of workers per day working full-time or part-time has to be calculated separately for men, women and children for hired workers and other workers. Information on children are to be collected separately for boys and girls. It may be noted that children here will refer to persons who are below 15 years of age(last birth day).Naturally, men and women will refer to adult males and females. While making entries in this block, informa­tion are to be recorded in the reverse process.That means, to arrive at different categories of the no.of hired workers, item 5 may be filled in first. Then items 4, 3, 2 and 1 are to be filled in one by one. The process will be same for collecting informa­tion about the no. of other workers. This reverse process will help the informants to avoid double counting of girls and boys under adult females and males respectively. Items 1 to 5 are provided to collect data on hired workers and items 6 to 10 are provided for other workers.
