Occupation or Trade</span><br /><br />The occupation is captured in the following two questions:<br /><br />In the first, write what the person did in their work during the previous week; that is, the chores or activities that they carried out.<br /><br />In the second, record the name of the occupation, trade, or position in the activity that the person carried out during the previous week.<br /><br />[Two depictions of this completed question on the enumeration form, and two related drawings]<br /><br />Record the information from the informant just as they report it to you, following the order of the questions, even if they first mention the name of the occupation and then what the person did in their job. For example, if, in asking what they did, they say that they are a taxi driver, confirm with the informant what they do as a taxi driver, and then write drives a taxi under the first question and taxi driver under the second.<br />Try not to record imprecise chores or general activities, such as supervises, teaches, sells, etc., nor general posts or trades such as employee, manual laborer, supervisor, since this does not allow us to know occupation.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[P. 80]</span><br /><br />Write down the tasks and the trade or position as is indicated in the following:<br /><br /><table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
