Key Points

• Statement A is correct because if a person works for four or more than four hours, he/she is considered as employed for the whole day.
• Statement B is incorrect because working less than one hour for a day does not qualify a person as employed for the whole week.
• Statement C is correct as the current daily status considers the activity of a person for each day of the preceding seven days.
• Statement D is correct because if a person works between one hour and four hours during the day, he/she is considered as partially employed.

Additional Information

• Employed for the whole day
  • If a person works for four or more than four hours, he/she is considered as employed for the whole day. This is a standard measure to determine full-time employment on a daily basis.
• Partially Employed
  • If a person works between one hour and four hours during the day, he/she is considered as partially employed. This measure helps in identifying part-time work on a daily basis.
• Current Daily Status (CDS)
  • The current daily status considers the activity of a person for each day of the preceding seven days. It is used to get a detailed account of the employment status on a day-to-day basis over a week.
• Employment Status for a Week
  • To be considered employed for a week, a person generally needs to work for more than a minimal threshold across the days of that week. Working less than one hour in one day does not qualify as being employed for the entire week.
