Interviewer instructions

Q. 219 asks what is respondent's husband's or partner's occupation. By occupation, we mean what kind of work the respondent's husband/partner MAINLY does.

Examples of occupations are clerk, secretary, barber, taxi driver, nurse, teacher, lawyer, salesman, rubber tapper, fisherman, rice farmer, carpenter, etc. We are not interested in the industry that he works in (e.g., agriculture, mining, or sales) or where he works (in a bank, a retail clothing store, or a government office), but we need to know what his job is.

Example: The respondent says her husband works in the Ministry of Planning. This response tells you where he works but not what his occupation is. You ask what he does at the Ministry of Planning and learn that he is an accountant. Record 'PROFESSIONAL, TECH, MANAGERIAL.'

If the respondent says that her partner works on a farm and he is paid, you select AGRICULTURE EMPLOYEE. If the partner works on a farm that he owns, you will select AGRICULTURE SELF EMPLOYED. If they work as a domestic employee in a household, you will select HOUSEHOLD DOMESTIC from the list of response codes.

If you are not sure which response category the occupation respondent provided belongs to, write the answer in the respondent's own words in OTHER, SPECIFY '99'. If you are not sure how to write the occupation, it is better to give more detail than less.

“Not currently working” is not an acceptable response. If he is unemployed, get a description of his most recent job. If he does more than one job, write down what he does most of the time. If he is not working because he is in school, write “student” in OTHER, SPECIFY '99'.
