<svar a="all" v="MX00A448 MX00A474"><span class="em">29. Economic Activity</span><br /><br />[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a related drawing]<br /><br />The economic activity of the place where the person worked last week is captured with two questions.<br /><br />In the first question, record the place where the person worked last week; the answer can be "in the country, "in the factory," "in the office," "in the street," "in a hospital," "in a private home," "in their home," "outside of the market," "outside of the school," etc.<br /><br />In the second question, record what the company, institution, business, premises, or place where the person worked last week does or is dedicated to.<br /><br />In this question they may respond that "they plant," "they manufacture," "they provide services," among other things. For this reason, find out what is planted, what is manufactured or what kinds of services are performed. For example, planting corn, manufacturing shirts, selling clothing, selling tacos, fixing cars, making handicrafts, cutting hair, etc.<br /><br />Keep in mind that in factories and workshops goods are made with different materials such as iron, wood, and plastic, among others. Because of this reason, ask for the material with which they are made. For example, if they make boxes, find out if they are made of cardboard, of wood, or of plastic.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[P. 83]</span><br /><br />When the person worked doing household chores for other people or in another house, record what the person did.<br /><br />Example:<br /><br /><table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>Occupation</th>
<th>Where they worked</th>
<th>What they do</th>

<td>In another person's house</td>
<td>Chores in another person's house</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gardener</td>
<td>In another person's house</td>
<td>Take care of the garden in another person's house</td>
</tr>
</table><br /><br />Do the same for people who work on their own in the street or don't have a fixed or permanent place to work; that is, record what they do. For example, puts flooring in other people's houses, sells shellfish in the street, sings in busses, takes care of cars in the street, sells clothing from house to house, etc.<br /><br />[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a related drawing]<br /><br />If the person had more than one job, record only the economic activity of the workplace where they performed their principal occupation.<br /></svar>
