This question asks for the main reason why the person was not available for work during
most of the last year. Code one of the eight categories shown. These codes are in order of
preference. Thus, if a person considers that they have two equally important reasons for their
non-availability, code only the first one that appears on the list. For instance, if a person says
that they were not available for work because they did household duties and attended school,
give this person a code 1 (attended school) because this code comes before code 2
(household duties) on the questionnaire.
