This shorter reference period (in line with international standards) captures the current employment status of each member. Only work that has some gain or economic value should be considered (including jobs that depend on seasonality)- Farmers tending crops or livestock would be undertaking gainful employment. Unpaid family workers would answer 'no' for this question.
