Interviewer instructions
Intensive probing may be needed in order to answer this question, since it is about the job of someone who is not living in the household and who is not available to answer the questions. You may have to consult brothers, sisters or close friends of the children residing elsewhere. Daughters who have married and moved away from the area require extra probing to find out about their employment.
