B Schedule Questions
Detailed points on questions are as follows
Employment Status Q.1
This question is in the form of a direct question. Informants msy need to bs asked
a series of probes before any code can be ringed. In particular probs to find if
they havs more than one job for pay or profit. For a spender with two or more
jobs, code the most renmnerativs only. On FES, informants are coded as working,
irrespective of tbe number of hours worked, as long as the job is regular. Ping
one code only per person.
Note that the Go wernmsnt has se vsral training and subsidy schemes in operation at
the present time. Indi@.duals on these schemes will normally receivs an allowance,
but in some cases a wage will be receiwad. The basic principle to bs followed is
that if a wage is receivsd, the informsnt should bs treated .ssan employee. If an
allowance is recei=d, the informant is to ba treated as unemployed (See Q1 (b)).
If Enterprise Allowance received, treat as self-employed.
