Interviewer instructions
The work reported in column 12 should be classified according to the kind of economic activity or industry. Ask the respondent: "In what kind of economic activity or industry did ___ work during the past week?". In this portion, you should exert utmost effort to let the respondent give you the description of the nature of work or kind of business or industry such as farm, fishing, plastic factory, school, etc. Record the response in column 14 the kind of business/industry for the person's primary occupation.
Do not be satisfied with the answers like firm names such as JMK Technologies, Phnom Penh Supply Co., etc. since they do not necessarily describe the economic activity or the industry. Probe and try to elicit from the respondent the information about the kind of product (if manufacturing firm) or the kind of service that a company is engaged in, for example, selling computers.
Moreover, if work is pursued in a big company that is engaged in several types of activities, report the nature of the particular activity of the company in which the person is working.
If work is for government office or institution, the name of the office, bureau, public school, etc. may be accepted such as EDC. If work is for executive branch of a local government, indicate whether it is provincial, district or commune.
Column 15 is for office use. Do not write anything in this portion.
