Finally, give the level of technology used by the business in column E17. The options for column E17 are given at the bottom of the questionnaire. Due to the limited column width, write “LOW” for option 1, “MEDIUM” for option 2 and “HIGH” for option 3. This helps in determining whether the business qualifies to be classified under the informal sector.
