Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation,wage or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity.
All persons who participated in any economically productive activity for any length of time during the reference period are defined as workers.
Normally, production for self consumption is not treated as economic activity. However,for the purpose of census an exception has been made in the case
of persons who are engaged in growing of crops (except plantation crops), rearing of animals and milk production for self consumption. These categories have been treated as economic activity. Reference period for determining 1 person as worker and non-worker, is one year preceding the date of enumeration.
