India - Employment and Unemployment Survey: NSS 38th Round, Schedule 10, 1983

It may be noted that the persons for whom this set of follow-up questions are meant can broadly be divided into two groups - (i) those who had some work during the reference year (i.e. persons with usual status codes 01-51 and 81-93 & 96 with some usual subsidiary gainful activity) and (ii) those who had no work during the reference year (i.e. persons with usual activity status codes 81-93 & 96 with no usual subsidiary gainful activity). It is expected that the first group, if at all willing, will normally opt for 'additional work' and to this group, therefore, the question to be put will be 'were your seeking of available for addition work?' To the second group, naturally, the question 'whether they were seeking of available for work' will be asked. Demanding on the answer obtained, the entry will be made against this item in terms of the code number '1' for 'yes' and '2' for 'no'. For persons categorized 'seeking and/or available for work' according to usual status (i.e. persons with status code 81, the question need not be asked again. For them code = 1 will simply be recorded.
