Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.5 Battery III. Work context</span>
<br />Starting with this battery of questions and up to six, the information you obtain will refer exclusively to the main job of the employed population, such that it could have been performed during the reference week or they could have been absent from it, but with return assured.</p>

<p>The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the person's position or job, their title in the occupation, the size of the economic unit and how long they have been on the job, among others. In addition, based on title in the occupation, the purpose will be, in the case of:</p>
<div class="i1">- Independent workers, identify their level of autonomy and the line of their activity.<br />- Subordinate workers, identify whether they have a written contract and access to employment benefits, as well as the form in which they accessed their job.</div><span class="em">Question 3q</span>
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>

<p>This question is asked to subordinate workers to identify the size of the establishment, through the number of people who work there.</p>

<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />The criterion to identify the size of the establishment where an interviewee works through the number of workers who are physically there or who depend on that establishment in particular, applies for economic units in both the private and public sector.</p>

<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Classification of subordinate workers. If the interviewee is a subordinate worker, tell them to count all the employees who work for the establishment, business or company, including the owner. If an economic unit is comprised of two or more establishments, ask the interviewee to count only the number of workers where they are working.<br />Example:</div><div class="i2">- Giovanny (interviewee) works for the cafeteria "El Cafetal", the business is in two premises located at different addresses, but he works in the downtown premises. In both locations, 12 people work. In this case, you only have to identify the number of people who work in the premises where Giovanny works.</div><div class="i1">- Non-profit organization workers. When the information indicates that a person works in a civil organization, such as unions, coalitions, federations, verify that only the administrative personnel who work in the offices have been counted, excluding members or enrollees.</div>
