Interviewer instructions
For people age 10 or older
For the census purposes we distinguish between work that is paid or earns something in kind and unpaid or non-remunerated work.
Paid Work or Earnings in kind refers to the production of good and services that a person works on and that generates him/her an income in cash or in kind, being a salary or in kind. The paid work can be of two types:
a) Fix payment: is an established payment that is given regularly by an institution, business, company to a specific person or family house, that in exchange works a workday for profit.
b) Other type of remunerated work refers to the irregular activities and occupations, commonly worked independently although the person might get help from family members for which the person gains some sort of profit.
Unpaid or non-remunerated work is the activity of producing goods and services that a person does as a help to a business, company or family farm in which he/she does not receive any remuneration or payment.
Question 47: During the past week (seven days) have (NAME) done any type of work for at least one hour such as selling food or clothes, sewing, motorcycle taxi, selling tickets, etc. in which he/she received any kind of payment?
Fill in the correct answer.
