Interviewer instructions
For persons age 10 or over (born on or before July 31, 1990)
[Applies to questions 4.36 - 4.61]




Question 4.45 - What occupation did you exercise in your main work during the week of July 23 to 29, 2000?

Occupation is understood as the function, position, profession or trade performed by a person in an activity economic.

For persons who permanently replaced the work they had with another during the week of reference, consider the information related to the more recent work.

Do not confuse occupation with specialization or professional training. Therefore:


a person trained in mathematics who is administering a public school will have public school principal as occupation; and
a person trained in psychology who is exercising the function of a teller at a bank will have bank teller as occupation.


[pg. 123]

It is essential that the record of the occupation clearly express the work exercised by the person. Therefore, generic entries should be avoided, such as:


Teacher is a generic entry. The correct entry would be dancing teacher, primary school teacher, junior high school teacher, senior high school teacher, university professor;
Salesman is a generic entry. The correct entry would be company salesman, candy peddler, street market vendor, shop salesperson; and
Painter is also a generic entry. The correct entry would be wall painter, automobile painter, or landscape painter.
