Data Processing
Cleaning Operations
Self-enumeration method was used where the respondent filled up the schedules directly. The schedules with an instruction for filling up were sent to the respondents by mail with a request to send the filled in schedules back within 30 days from the date of receipt. Reminders to the establishments which did not respond by the specified date, were sent. The follow—up action was intensified with telephone calls, personal letters and eventually through personal visits CMI rules allow legal action for defaulters as a last resort which however has hardly ever been applied.
All filled-in schedules were duly edited to detect omissions, inconsistencies and errors and if necessary, taking corrective measures. This process involved (i) taspection of the questionnaire for omission (ii) examination of the items of information for both internal (among data in the questionnaire) and external (with data from other sources) consistencies. Inadequacies detected in the questionnaire were corrected by questioning the respondents or by imputation.
