Interviewer instructions

This section is divided into two. Firstly, there are income sources from employment and
secondly there are other income sources. This section tries to cover all major sources of
income received.
INCOME SOURCES – OTHER, RECEIVED ANNUALLY
1A (a) and 1A (b) Income from employment
Because of the importance of income in this survey we are asking this question twice.
On this occasion we are asking the respondent for the exact amount he received as
gross income in the last pay period.
What is required is the total income from work, for the last pay period, including
allowances, before any deductions for income tax or for any other purpose. Use the key
provided to record the last pay period. For self-employed persons (either employers or
own account workers) the net income is total income less salaries and business
operating expenses. Most times you will receive annual incomes from this group. Use
the “Income Flash Card” supplied and enter the income level category in the box
provided.
