Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Questionnaire section D: "Personal information"</span>
<br />Interview each member of the household using one page for each person. The order in which you must conduct the interviews is the same as you entered on question 6.c. Therefore, person No. 1 will correspond to the head of household, while person No. 2 will be the person you entered on the second row, and so forth.
<br />It is very important that you follow the order as entered on question 6.c for conducting the interviews in section D. This way, you will avoid leaving someone out without being recorded for the census.</p>
<p><span class="em">[Questions 17, employment status]</span></p>
<p><span class="em">[Question 18, industry]</span>
<br />This question relates to the activity carried out by the establishment or place where the employed person worked during the week prior to the census (Monday, April 10, to Sunday, April 16, 2017).
<br />For example, when someone who works as a janitor in a supermarket is recorded for the census, he or she should say "supermarket retail sales." It is important for the activity to be detailed as specifically as possible, using at least three words.

<p><span class="em">Case 1: Imprecise response</span>
<br />Josefina works in a casino gaming hall in the city of Valdivia. When asked question 18, she responds: "Casino." Because the Spanish term "casino" can refer to a gaming hall or a canteen/cafeteria, this response is ambiguous.
<br />As a census-taker, you must probe to clarify the information, using at least three words. In this sense, you should ask the following question: What type of "casino" do you work in?
<br />Josefina says: "casino gaming hall" and it gets entered as shown to the right.
<br />[Figure omitted, image of question 18 fill with the words: "casino gaming hall"]</p>
<p><span class="em">Case 2: Self-employment</span>
<br />Pedro has had a shoe store for 20 years. On question 18, he responds: "self-employment with shoes." Given this response, we do not know if Pedro makes, sells or repairs shoes. As Pedro is self-employed, you must probe to get a more specific response.
<br />For example: "About the shoes?do you sell, make or repair them?" Pedro responds: "I work in shoe repair." Therefore, you must enter the following on the questionnaire: "repair of shoes."
<br />[Figure omitted, image of question 18 fill with the words: "repair of shoes"]
<br />Important: In all cases where people respond "self-employed" without further specifying, you will need to probe to get more information.
