3.6 EMPLOYMENT STATUS OF RESPONDENTS
In the VPAIS 2005, respondents aged 15-49 were asked if they were working during the 7 days
preceding the interview and if not, whether they had done any work in the past 12 months. Those who had
worked were asked their occupation, and those who had not worked were asked what they had been doing
for most of the time during the preceding year. The percent distribution of respondents by employment
status is shown in Tables 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 by selected background characteristics. Nationally, 80 percent of
women and 82 percent of men are currently working, while nearly 3 percent of women and 1 percent of
men are not currently working, although they worked in the last 12 months.
