Literal question
As you know, some women take up jobs for which they are paid in cash or kind. Others sell things, have a small business or work on the family farm or in the family business. In the last seven days have you done any of these things or any other work?
Interviewer instructions
These questions are concerned with any work other than housework that the respondent herself does. The time reference for Qs. 807-809 is the seven days before the interview.
Q. 808 is included because it often happens that women who sell things, or work on the family farm/business, will not consider what they do work, especially if they do not get paid for the work. Read the introductory sentences of Q. 808 so the respondent understands what we mean by “work.”
