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 9j</span>
<br />This instruction is exclusively for you (so you should not read it to the informant), so that based on the information recorded in the two preceding questions, you state whether it is a public or private economic unit.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Criteria to follow. Circle the respective option according to the proprietary sector to which the economic unit for which the interviewee worked pertains. You can use the information recorded in questions 9h and 9i to help you do this.<br />- Other questions to help you analyze the information. If the information refers to institutions, determine whether they are private or public economic units based on whether or not the government intervenes in their administrative or organizational activities. For example, classify political parties in the public sector, taking into consideration that their resources come from public funds.<br />- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the option you circle, continue with question 9k.</div>
