Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.3 Set of questions I. Employment status</span>
<br />The purpose of this set of questions is to identify those who worked during the reference period, regardless of the number of jobs performed in case of having more than one, and to determine who, despite not having worked during said period, have one.</p>

<p>Conceptual clarifications
<br />Consider a person to perform an economic activity only if the person worked during the reference week, at least one hour during said period, or if the person did not work during said period, but had a job.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>
<div class="i1">- Cecilia worked the week before the interview.<br />- Adrian did not attend his job, but had a leave from ISSSTE to care for one of his children who was sick.</div><p>Regardless of the condition of legality or illegality with which an economic unit operates, both are entered, from the perspective of ENOE, within the framework of economic activity.
<br />The following table includes examples of the types of activities considered economic and non-economic, and the pertinent explanation:</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 1a</span>
<br />This question is asked to people who stated they did not work in the reference week, in order to verify that they effectively did not do so and to identify those who did perform a job, but did not considered it as such.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />This question is used to assess cases of those people whose work within the economic unit is not considered even by themselves as productive as they did not receive economic compensation in cash or in kind, even though their participation guarantees its performance. Family workers (the wife and children) are found in this situation, as well as non-family members and trainees.</p>

<p>Payment in kind. Economic compensation through products that can be sold (market exchange) and which are received by some workers as the only form or supplemental form of work.</p>

<p>Apprentices may receive, for their own, exclusive use, compensation in kind that is not marketable, such as food, lodging or training.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p>Instruction:</p>
<div class="i1">- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1 or 2, go to question 3; if you circle option 3, continue with question 1b.</div>
