Interviewer instructions
Occupational Characteristics
Ask these questions only to persons 12 years old or older.
This part of the form joins many interesting aspects relative to the occupation of the individuals. By means of these six questions it will be able to be known where and in what the Costa Rican population works, how many are employees, employers or exclusively students; how many women work only in the house, and much more information.
Logically to arrive at obtaining comparable information, all the enumerators should follow the norms and established definitions.
Line No. 19.- Length of Employment
This question should be asked to all persons 12 years old or older.
In this space you should write down the number of months that a person was working last year (from April 1, 1962 to March 31, 1963). If a person had different jobs at the same time, write down the months worked in each one and write down this information; when you write it indicate in "Observations" that this information corresponds to two, three, four, etc, occupations.
When a person has worked less than a month during the period mentioned, write "Less than 1" in the space that says "No, of months". In the other cases, write down the number of complete months: that is to say, if a person worked 3 months and 20 days, write down 3 months; if 9 months and 4 days were worked, write down 9 months, etc.
