Interviewer instructions
Column 18: Occupational Category. The information about occupational categories should be obtained based on the following definitions:
Group "ER": (Employer). A person who runs their own company or who practices a profession or trade on their own and who has one or more compensated workers, not counting domestic workers. [Translator's note: In the value labels (categories 1 and 3) employee (employee) appears twice due to a typo. In this case, it definitely refers to the employer, corresponding to category 3 in the value labels.]
Group "TCP": (Self-employed Worker). A person who runs their own company or who practices a profession or trade on their own, but does not employ any compensated workers. Can work by themselves or in association with others.
Group "EM": (Employee). A person who uses more mental than physical effort in their job and who is compensated for work done for a public or private employer of whose census household that person is not a member. Also considered to be employees are managers, administrators, and other managerial personnel. Some special laws assign the designation of employee to people in certain professions, such as hairdressers, chauffeurs, etc., according the welfare system [previsión social] to which the person being enumerated has recourse.
Group "OB": (Manual Laborer). A person who performs a predominantly manual activity and is compensated for work done for a public or private employer of whose census household that person is not a member. When there are doubts about classifying someone as a manual laborer, refer to the welfare system to which the person being enumerated has recourse.
Group "ED": (Domestic Worker). A person devoted to activities related to household service (waiter, butler, cook, servant girl, cook, housekeeper, nanny) and who is compensated for work done for a public or private employer of whose census household that person is not a member. This category of people have "family house" as their industry.
Group "FR": (Paid Family Worker). A person who is compensated for work done for a company run by a member of their family.
Group "FNR": (Unpaid Family Worker). A person who is not compensated for work done for a company run by a member of their family, and who practices that profession at least three hours a day (two days a week).
Record this information for all people whose occupation has been recorded and who belong to either Group "OC" (Employed) or Group "CE" (Unemployed).
