11.5.4 Economic characteristics. Questions 12-16 are presented only to those 10 years of age and older. It is also pointed out that questions 13-16 are only presented to those who were classified in either of the first two groups of question 12: "employed" or "unemployed".
d) Question 15. Employment status. Within each occupation there are various categories or positions. This question attempts to find out which of these is held by the enumerated person. This is the information that allows this question to be answered. In order to obtain a correct response, it is indispensable that the four categories found in the census form be read to the informant. These categories are defined below: i) Employer (owner). This is the person who directs his own economic enterprise or who carries out a profession or trade by and for himself and who has one or more employees or workers who receive a salary or wage. This excludes domestic employees.; ii) Own-account worker. This is the person who operates his own economic enterprise or who carries out a profession or trade by and for himself and who does not have any employees or workers receiving a salary or wage.; iii) Employee with a salary or wage (including domestic employees and paid family workers). This category includes, therefore, three groups: employees, paid family workers, and domestic employees. An employee is a person who works for a public or private employer (owner) and who receives remuneration in the form of salary, wage, tips, commissions, pay for piecework (for units of work), or pay in-kind. It does not matter, therefore, if the work is predominantly intellectual or physical in nature, or vice versa. A paid family worker is a person who works for pay or earnings, for less than three hours per day, in an economic enterprise operated by a relative, only if they live in the same household. A Domestic employee is a person who works for a public or private employer (owner) and who carries out activities related to household service (servant, butler, cook, doorman, nanny, washerwoman, etc.) and who receives a basic remuneration in the form of a salary and normally some additional perks (housing, food, etc.).;

iv) Unpaid family worker. This is a person who works, without pay or earnings, in an economic enterprise operated by a relative for at least three hours per day; only if they live in the same household.
