    MASHINA RESIDENTS REGISTRATION SYSTEM

    A regional government wishes to create a database for its population based on employment details,
    residence and land details so as to enable planning, security and other policy decisions. In order to
    accomplish this objective, the regional government embarked on capturing information on employers,
    employees, residents and land use.

    Each employer is required to register with the government. During registration, employers are required
    to provide their physical location details which include the registration number of the land where they
    are located and area of specialization such as farming, manufacturing and business among others. For
    those in employment, details of their occupation such as name of the employer and salaries are captured.

    Self-employed individuals are also required to provide details of their occupation and income.

    All workers, residents, business people and land owners are required to provide amongst others
    occupation and physical address.

    All land details in the region are captured. They include land registration numbers, owner details,
    location, size, use among others.

    Design a well documentated database system to do the following:

    (a) Generate list of employees by occupation.

    (b) Generate list of residents by location.

    (c) Generate a report showing all employers with their respective number of employees in a
    descending order.

    (d) Compute percentage of land in terms of usage.

    (e) Compute average earnings per occupation.

    (f) Categorise each employee based on annual income as follows:



    Income (Ksh) Category
    Less than 35 000 Low
    From 35 000 to 1,500,000 Middle
    Greater than 1,500,000 Upper

    (g) Compute the number of people per household.
