Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">7.11 Battery IX. Work history</span>
<br />This battery of questions focuses on inquiring about the characteristics of the last job that was lost or left in the interviewed population, such as: context in which this situation occurred and the time frame (if it occurred during the current year or in prior years), the cause, type of occupation that was performed, the type of activities to which the economic unit for which the person worked was dedicated, the type of employment benefits, income received and current availability of economic income derived from that lost employment relationship, in order to assess the quality of that job in relation to the most recent one.</p>
<p>This battery of questions distinguishes three types of sequences; two of them are aimed at subordinate workers, with a view toward identifying those who lost their job due to difficulties centered more on employment conditions of the market and by their own decision, respectively; and the third sequence identifies the main reasons why independent workers left or lost their business or activity.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 9g</span>
<br />This question is asked to those who lost or terminated a job recently, to find out the tasks and name of the occupation (trade, position or job) they performed.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Criteria to follow. Apply the same criteria established for question 3.<br />- Sequence to follow. Once the information is recorded, continue with question 9h.</div>
