India - Employment and Unemployment Survey: NSS 50th Round, Schedule 10, July 1993 - June 1994

For children who are currently attending school, i.e. code 1 in column (3), their activity particulars with reference to 'work' and its effects on their studies will be recorded in columns (5) to (12). For children who are not currently attending i.e., either dropped out or never attended, the particulars of their economic activity will be recorded in columns (13) to (21).
Thus, either columns (5) - (12_ or columns (13)-(21) only be filled in this block for a particular child. It should be noted that a domestic servant engaged in household chores in return of wages in case and/or kind will be considered 'working'. Hence, code-2 will be given in col.(4) against him/her, although he/she regularly helps in the household chores.

Code 1 or 2 will be recorded depending on whether the child is normally working or not. As the child is also currently attending school, such 'work' is not expected to be any 'full time' work over a long period. The work may be outside the school hours or during the school hours on a seasonal basis.
