Interviewer instructions
<div class="i1"><span class="em">Question 23.1 - What is your main occupation?</span></div><div class="i2">As for main occupation we understand the type or modality of work developed by the individual during the reference week.<br /><br />Be precise, for example, instead of engineer, textile employer and teacher, be precise and write: civil engineer, textile fiber preparatory worker, primary education teacher, etc. instead of generic designations like engineer, teacher, office worker, etc.<br /><br />The occupation is a complex notion; it contains three dimensions to be considered: the individual is specialization, the working sector in which he works and the professional function/category he has on the job.<br /><br />If the individual has more than one profession indicates the one where he spent most time during the reference week.<br /><br />If during that reference week the individual had a very different occupation than from usual (by being on vacation for example) he must indicate the usual occupation.<br /><br />If the individual was unemployed on the week of reference indicates the last occupation he had.</div>
