Interviewer instructions

Q105B asks the woman for all possible reasons that made her leave the previous place of residence i.e. the push factors. Probe for more reasons by asking 'any other'? In this question, you are expected to select all options mentioned. Pay attention to the responses given as this question can prompt responses as to why she came here and not why she left. In case a respondent starts giving reasons why she moved to the current place, skillfully get her back to the question at hand. Under no circumstances should you infer her responses- for example do not assume that because she said she moved due to lack of jobs at the previous place that she came here because there were jobs. Ask the question again and wait for her responses.

After selecting all responses you shall proceed to ask Q105C which asks about the most important/main reason why she left. Select the reason that the respondent indicates to be the main/most important one. If only one option is selected in Q105B, you only need to record the code without asking the woman again.
