How to formulate the question<br /><br />What was your employment status in the principal occupation indicated in question 17?<br /><br />The list of different alternative answers is slowly read, one by one, until the enumerated person is classified into one of them.<br /><br />The following definitions will help orient the enumerated person.<br /><br /><span class="em">a. Employer</span>: This refers to those who have one or more salaried persons in their charge carrying out an economic activity; that is, workers who receive monetary or in-kind remuneration. One who has no employees is not an employer.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 87]</span><br /><br /><span class="em">b. Own account</span>: This refers to those who work independently, who do not have remunerated employees and are not employees of anyone else. An own-account worker can count on the help of family workers and can work alone or as an associate.<br /><br /><span class="em">c. Public sector employee</span>: This refers to employees who receive a salary or wage from any state agency, either from the central government or from semi-autonomous or a decentralized entity (municipality, Institute of Social Security, Universidad de San Carlos, ministries, etc.).<br /><br /><span class="em">d. Private sector paid employee</span>: This refers to employees who receive a wage or salary from a company whose capital is private (Factories, Stores, Private Farms, etc.).<br /><br /><span class="em">e. Unpaid family worker</span>: This refers to those who carry out an unpaid occupation in an establishment operated by a relative, working at least 15 hours per week. Excluded from this category are those who carry out domestic duties or occasional tasks in the establishment.<br /><br />2.
