Interviewer instructions
Attention: Columns 12 to 15 only apply to those persons employed or unemployed but looking for employment (OCC and CHO). In each case, they should describe their last job. For the other categories (QUE, POF, ETU, RET, INV, AUT), record a dash in these columns.
Column twelve - principal occupation:
- For an employed person, the principal occupation corresponds to the type of work actually performed during the reference period to which the person dedicated the most of their time.
- For people unemployed but looking for a job, we will consider their last job worked as their principal occupation (this applies to those who have previously been employed). It is concerned with the profession performed by the person being counted, not their rank, function or the job they were trained to do.
[p. 32]
Notes:
If the person being interviewed is a government worker, it is necessary to probe the person in order to obtain a detailed description of the work they perform.
- Ask the following question: "What do you do for a living?" Then record the principal occupation with as much precision as possible.
Attention: In rural areas, the principal occupation is that performed during the rainy season.
