- A person is classified as being in marginal employment if they work for fewer months than a set threshold in the year before the census.

- Option 1 - 9 months: If the cut-off were 9 months, it would imply more sustained employment.

- Option 2 - 3 months: This would suggest a very minimal amount of employment, typically lower than expected for marginal employment.

- Option 3 - 6 months: This is a common cut-off and implies the person worked less than half the year, capturing seasonal or part-time workers.

- Option 4 - 12 months: Implies no work at all, incorrect for defining marginal employment.

Option 3 - 6 months is the correct answer for marginal employment.
