Interviewer instructions
Important observations about questions 14 to 21:
Questions 14 to 21, which form part of this section, are meant for getting information about the participation of the population of 10 years old or older in economic activities of the country. It is recommended that each member of the home respond for themselves. If this is not possible, the Head or responsible adult could respond for the youngest, but it is preferable to insist that the adult members respond for themselves.
The information refers to the week before the Census. This week is defined as the reference week and is understood to be from Sunday to Saturday.
Questions 15 to 21 should be asked to all persons who were marked in any of the circles 01 to 05 of question 14. Except to persons who answered that they have never worked in question 15.
Question Number 15: What occupation, trade or job did you do last week or the last time you worked?
For one who works (employed) and has more than one job, write down the occupation of the principal job. Consider as principal job that which produces the largest income.
For unemployed, write down in the space designated for principal occupation, the occupation, employment or job done at their last job. If an unemployed person never has worked but rather is looking for first employment, write down "Never has worked" and go to question 21. The highest age for these persons is 45 if female, if male, investigate the cause and make the respective observations.
