| Instruction | Read categories to respondent. | ||||||||||||||
| Help | 1. 'Directly' refers to a situation in which employees are directly accountable to the respondent. For example, a general manager of a firm may supervise three managers directly, giving them orders or instructions, and checking to see whether these have been followed. 2. 'Indirectly' refers to a situation in which employees are not directly accountable to the respondent, but are accountable to another person who falls under the chain of command of the respondent. For example, if each of the three managers directly supervised by the general manager supervises 10 people, the general manager will supervise 3 people directly plus 30 people indirectly. In this case, the correct answer would be 33 people (25 to 99 people). If the 10 people supervised by the managers each supervise 10 people, 300 people would be added to the total, which would become 333 (100 or more people). | ||||||||||||||

| Code | J_Q01 | |||||||
| Question | Now I would like to ask you some general questions. Including yourself, how many people usually live in your household? Please include people who are temporarily living elsewhere. | |||||||
| Instruction | 1. Household membership is defined by the existence of SHARED EXPENSES (including benefiting from expenses as well contributing to expenses) and the place of usual residence. 2. The place of usual residence defines who belongs to the household. A person shall be considered 'usually resident' if he/she spends most of his/her daily rest at this household evaluated over the last one year. | |||||||
| Help | 1. Boarders and lodgers are only considered as member of the household IF they share in the household expenses. 2. Students sharing a dwelling can only be considered as members of one household IF they share in the household expenses. 3. People absent for a long period due to work, but continuing to have a clear financial relation with the household, are considered member of the household (e.g. head of household working abroad). 4. Children who are educated away from home should be considered member of the household if they have no private address and continue to maintain close relations (e.g. come home every weekend). | |||||||

If the respondent lives alone, report the language that is used on a daily basis. | ||||||||||||||||||
