Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.5 Battery III. Work context</span>
<br />Starting with this battery of questions and up to six, the information you obtain will refer exclusively to the main job of the employed population, such that it could have been performed during the reference week or they could have been absent from it, but with return assured.</p>
<p>The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the person's position or job, their title in the occupation, the size of the economic unit and how long they have been on the job, among others. In addition, based on title in the occupation, the purpose will be, in the case of:</p>
<div class="i1">- Independent workers, identify their level of autonomy and the line of their activity.<br />- Subordinate workers, identify whether they have a written contract and access to employment benefits, as well as the form in which they accessed their job.</div><span class="em">Question 3</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons to find out the tasks or functions, as well as the name of the occupation, position or job they perform at their main job.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:</p>
<div class="i1">Position or job. Set of functions, obligations and tasks habitually performed by a person in their job, employment or occupation.<br />Main job. That which the informant identifies as such, based on their own assessment, if the interviewee has had more than one during the reference week.</div><div class="i1">Having two or more jobs during the reference period. Means that one employed person had labor bonds with at least two economic units during this period, even if they did not go in to work to either one because they were on vacation, sick, on leave or for any other reason.</div><p>Instructions:
<br />Below are the criteria to use to determine first, if an interviewee had one or more jobs during the reference period; and second, if you detect the person had two or more jobs, help them, if necessary, to define which is the main one. This is very important, since the information from batteries 3 through 6 will refer to the main job.</p>
<p>Consider a person to have had a second job during the reference week:</p>
<div class="i1">- If they normally perform it even if they have not done so during the cited period, regardless of the reason (personal difficulty, health problems, being on vacation, etc.), but they will have to return as there is a labor bond between the person and the economic unit.</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- During the reference week Alan was on vacation from the two jobs he has.<br />- Maria requested leave for three months in the company where she performs her second job.<br />- Even if they have recently started to work there (before or during the reference week).</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- Cristina has worked for years on the morning shift as a nurse in a clinic; to supplement her income, one month before the reference week she began to also work, but at night, a few days a week caring for an elderly person in a private home.<br /><br />If she was working during said period, but at different times, for two economic units by substituting the only job she had been performing. In this situation obtain as her main job the one that she just got.</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- Félix only worked Monday through Thursday, in the reference week, in an accounting firm because the contract ended; but on Friday of that week he started to work at his own business. Felix's main job, for the purposes of the survey, will be his own business, and the secondary, the job he left or lost.<br />- Adriana left her job for a contract manufacturer (pieceworker) on Friday of the reference week and started to work as a waitress in a restaurant on Saturday of that same week. Adriana's main job will be, for the purposes of the interview, that of waitress and the secondary, that of employee at the contract manufacturing company.<br /><br />If she worked even for only a single time during this period. In this type of situation it is expected that the interviewee states their main job is the one they have been working for more time; but, definitively, it is the informant who has the final word.</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- Sebastian works for a government agency, but took advantage of the fact that he was on vacation during the reference week to help his father harvest lettuce.<br />- Georgina works Monday through Friday in a bank, and on Saturday and Sunday of the reference week, earned extra income by working, a single time, in the restaurant of a beach resort.<br /><br />Do not consider a person to have a second job:<br />- People who work on their own in a trade: masons, carpenters, seamstresses, merchants, gardeners, laundresses, etc.<br />- Professionals and technicians who are self-employed.<br /><br />Do not think this type of worker has two or more jobs, since the type of contract established with their clients is not a one of labor but rather merely commercial by providing a service to their clients, and this does not count for the purposes of the survey, taking into consideration that the central purpose of this statistical program is to generate information about the labor conditions granted by economic units for which the employed population works.<br /><br />- The farm worker who are engaged, at the same time and at the same address, to combine agricultural and livestock production activities (cultivating corn and raising swine, cultivating alfalfa and raising cattle, for example) since it is a single economic unit.<br />- Owners of their own business or activity in which they work at the same time and at the same address, to perform activities in different lines of business: sales and providing services or manufacturing and selling products. In this type of situation you should identify the main activity to which the economic unit is dedicated, and on that basis identify the tasks and occupation the person performs.</div><p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Recognizing the main job. If an informant recognizes as the main job the one in which they did not work during the reference week, respect their response.<br />- Questions identifying the main job. Only if the informant hesitates to define which is the main job, assist them by telling them to keep in mind, first, the time spent on each job; if they still cannot make determine it, ask them to consider the income they receive all together in each of their jobs, the time of service and the employment benefits.<br />- How to ask the question. Read the first part of the question and enter the tasks or functions a person habitually performs on their main job.</div><p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- Mr. Roman works for a ranch where he works raising cattle and swine. In this job, he usually only cares for the cattle, but during this time of year, generally he is asked to reinforce the corral posts. When entering the information, record the activities related to the installation and maintenance of the corrals.<br />- Mr. Cirilo is a farm hired laborer where they offer him work. During this season normally he goes to cut the tomatoes, that is, precisely what he is currently doing.<br />- How to enter the response. When entering the functions or activities a person performs in their main job, describe them according to the guidelines listed below. The information described should permit a verification of the occupation, position or job they claim they perform. Both data together should allow you to identify:<br />- The ability or degree of specialization of the person's position or occupation.<br />- The degree of responsibility necessary to perform the job or occupation declared.<br />- The instruments, tools or raw materials used in the preparation of the product or service.</div><p>[Omitted table]</p>
<div class="i1">- When the name of the occupation has nothing to do with the tasks described, ask additional questions to obtain the correct information, such as: "you told me that you wash other people's clothes and are a seamstress, then, do you have two jobs, one a seamstress and the other a laundress? or, what do you do daily in your job?<br />- If the interviewee's response indicates that the worker performs activities that correspond to two or more occupations, in this battery of questions enter those to which the person dedicated more time during the reference period.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Painting building facades (wide house painter) and repairing hydro-sanitary installations (plumber)<br />- Monitoring the residential area (security guard) and running errands for the residents of a residential area (go-boy/go-girl).<br />- If they mention a profession where the name doesn't agree with the tasks stated, ask additional questions such as: "you told me that you studied...?" or "you told me that the occupation you perform consists of...? if the informant keeps giving the name of the major, don't make them uncomfortable by insisting, enter what they told you and record the inconsistency in the comments section.<br />- Unnecessary information. It is important that when recording the information in these questions you enter only what allows you to identify and classify the interviewee's occupation. Below are the elements you should consider when obtaining the information:<br />- If the information refers to occupations outside of the commercial activity, it is unnecessary that in the tasks section (first part of question 3) you enter that the interviewee works in collection, as one more of their tasks. Focus your description exclusively on the tasks that characterize the stated occupation.<br /><br />[Omitted table]</div><div class="i1">- In the case of independent workers you should enter that they manage their business only if they do not perform activities directly related to another occupation; in the latter situation it is obvious to say that they are in charge of managing their own business, so when describing the tasks, limit yourself to entering the tasks directly related to the occupation or job in which they are engaged.<br />[Omitted table]<br />- When the occupation refers to food preparation it is not necessary to describe the ingredients used in its preparation, only mention the type of food and/or beverages: sweet potato, preserves, pastries, shaved ice, bread, <span class="lang">pulque</span> (alcoholic beverage), cheese, tacos, tortillas, etc.<br />[Omitted table]<br />- It is not necessary to describe the type of tasks performed in such detail, or the place where they work (that is the subject of question 4a, 4e or 4f), just enter the substantial activity of the occupation performed.</div>
<br />Starting with this battery of questions and up to six, the information you obtain will refer exclusively to the main job of the employed population, such that it could have been performed during the reference week or they could have been absent from it, but with return assured.</p>
