<span class="h2">7.6 Battery IV. Characteristics of the economic unit</span>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify some important characteristics of the economic units, taking as a starting point the establishment in which the people who are employed perform their main job. Some of these characteristics are: name, proprietary sector, type of activity to which it is dedicated, the way in which it operates (whether or not it is registered under the Law of Corporations, in the case of private companies and businesses, or the way in which the public administration of this country operates), availability of premises and accounting records, as well as the geographic level in which it performs, in the case of private companies and businesses.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons, in order to find out if the economic unit for which they work has a name.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="ital">Name of the economic unit</span>. The trade name, business name or name with which a company, institution or business advertises itself.</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />The name of the economic unit may refer to the name of the owner of the business or company, it may appear in visible locations, such as facades or lighted signs or may not appear as such, but allows the business to be recognized in the community. Furthermore, an economic unit may or may not be registered with any government agency.</p>
<p>The mere availability of a professional license, plates or the concession, (as occurs in the case of professionals and taxi drivers, respectively) does not constitute a name for the ENOE. Belonging to a group or coalition of taxi drivers, on the other hand, does constitute a name.</p>
<p>Instructions:
<br /><span class="ital">Identification of common name:</span><div class="i1">- In addition to the name or business name of the economic unit, you should record the generic name by which an establishment or site is known or identified, such that there is no doubt as to activity to which it is dedicated: car wash, butcher, scientific research center, kitchen range, college (school), poultry farm, grocery store, vulcanizer, shoe store.<br />In the cases of businesses that lack a specific generic name, put the words factory, firm, office after the products produced or sold or the services provided, as applicable: bicycle repair workshop, law firm, administrative office, gift store.<br />- Identification of the initials of corporations and non-profit organizations. If an economic unit is registered under any of these "regimens", write the complete name of the unit, including the initials of corporation or non-profit organization, as applicable. The initials that may be reported are: Sociedad en Nombre Colectivo [General Partnership] (SNC), Sociedad en Comandita Simple [Special Limited Partnership] (SCS), Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada [Limited Liability Corporation] (SRL), Sociedad Anónima [Corporation] (SA), Sociedad en Comandita por Acciones [Joint Stock Company] (SCA) and Sociedad Cooperativa [Cooperative Society].<br /><br />Non-profit organizations or associations are identified with the initials AC for Asociación Civil (Civil Association) and IAP for Institución de Asistencia Privada (Private Assistance Institution). They may refer to sporting, religious, cultural organizations or associations, with a basically non-economic purpose, therefore they are known as non-profit institutions.</div><span class="ital">Identification of main activity. </span>The economic units for which the employed population works may be operating in an establishment or a</p>
<p>set of establishments, in improvised facilities when there is no site or ambulatory, visiting clients or in a private home.</p>
<p>When the economic units operate in a single address or are ambulatory, it is generally easy to identify the main activity to which they are dedicated because they perform the activities of a single economic sector, but that may not be so in the case of those that operate under the same business name in more than one establishment (address), where in each of them, activities may be conducted related to one or more economic sectors, such that they are comprised of branches or auxiliary establishments.</p>
<p>As mentioned in question 3e, identifying the main activity to which the economic unit is dedicated is very important, since the information will have to be recorded throughout battery of questions 4. The characteristics of an auxiliary unit are discussed again below, as a reference for you to identify the main one.</p>
<p>We know that an auxiliary establishment is characterized by:</p>
<div class="i1">1. Performing only support activities, exclusively, for the establishment to which it belongs.<br />2. Having the same business name as the establishment to which it belongs.<br />3. Not conducting activities with third parties, on its own behalf, or producing goods or services for sale (regardless of the value of one or another activity) or for another productive process of the same company on which it depends (this situation would automatically make it a producing establishment, in an independent economic unit).<br />4. Having an independent physical location, at an address not contiguous with that of the producing establishment to which it belongs.</div><p>Examples of establishments that perform support services for the establishments to which they belong: administrative offices, warehouses, shops, payment receiving offices, sales or procurement offices, parking lots exclusively for clients and employees, warranty repair and maintenance workshops, and, in general, those establishments that have contact with clients on behalf of the establishments with which they share a name or business name.</p>
<p>As an example, below are listed the ways of identifying whether the establishment where a person works performs main or support activities:</p>
<p>[Omitted table]</p>
<p>Footnote: Classifying the activity throughout the battery of questions means that once the main activity that the company or establishment for which the interviewee works is identified, all data compiled from question 4 and until the end of its sequence in this battery will be aimed at characterizing said activity.</p>
<p>[Omitted table]</p>
<div class="i1">- Once the main activity of the economic unit for which the interviewee works has been identified, classify and record the information in the corresponding option according to the requirements of the question, option by option:</div><div class="i2">1. Name of the economic unit<br /><br />- People who work in an economic unit that does have a name.<br />- If the interviewee is an independent worker, adapt the question as follows: What is your mechanic's shop called? This will avoid the interviewee confusing the name of the business itself with those of his clients. It should be noted that, in any case, the generic name replaces the proper name of the economic unit, or vice versa.<br />- If an economic unit is entered as a corporation or non-profit organization, enter the initials after the name or business name.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i3">- <span class="lang">Despacho de consultores en publicidad</span>, SC (Advertising consultants firm)<br />- <span class="lang">Escuela Venustiano Carranza</span>, AC (Venustiano Carranza School)<br />- <span class="lang">Taller de reparación automotriz Atlas</span>, SA de CV (Atlas Automotive Repair Shop)<br />- Those who state they provide social services or conduct their professional practice. Identify the characteristics of the economic unit for which they work.<br />- Workers who are part of a company's payroll, but do their job in their employer's or superior's home performing, generally, domestic tasks. In cases like these, do not correct the information entered in question 3 for any reason, despite the reference to domestic work, and in this question, record the name of the company.<br />- Those who state they do not know the name of the economic unit, but are certain that it does have one. In situations like this, circle this option and on the line write, first, the generic name, and then the words</div><div class="i2">1. Name of the economic unit<br />Does not know or remember the name of the economic unit. For example: salon, does not remember the name; public school, does not know the name.<br /><br />Government institutions. If the name alludes to administrative areas, commissions, committees, councils, coordinations, directorates, etc., specify only the full name of the secretariat or government agency to which it belongs. In addition to the foregoing, when recording the information, keep the following guidelines in mind:</div><div class="i3">- Institutions of the judicial or legislative power. In these cases it is sufficient to record the information as follows:<br />- Chamber of Senators<br />- Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation<br />- Council of Judicial Power<br />- Proprietary sector. Specify only in the case of health, education, welfare and financial services institutions.<br />- Hospital Juarez, public.<br />- Universidad Autónoma de Chapingo (UACH), public.<br />- Santa Maria nursing home, private.<br />- Anita Brenner School, private.<br />- Level of government. Enter this only if the establishment could be confused with institutions of a different level of government.<br />- Secretariat of Tourism (SECTUR), federal.<br />- Secretariat of the Interior, state.<br />- Secretariat of Social Development, municipal.</div><div class="i2">It is not necessary to include the level of government if it is part of the name or if it is an autonomous organization.</div><div class="i3">- Fisheries Commission of the State of Michoacán.<br />- Secretariat of Natural Resources of the State of Sinaloa.<br />- Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).</div><div class="i2">Local office or section. If a worker says they work in a</div><div class="i2">1. Name of the economic unit<br />local office or section of a government agency or a union, ask for the name of the government organization or the union to which it belongs.</div><div class="i3">- Fifth motorized cavalry regiment of the national defense. In this case, enter only that the person works for the Secretariat of National Defense.<br />- Naval Zone of Huatulco. In this case, enter Mexican Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR).<br />- Initials or acronyms. Put them in parentheses.<br />- Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), National Autonomous University of Mexico.<br />- Oficinas de la Secretaría de Gobernación (SEGOB), Offices of the Secretariat of the Interior.<br />- Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados (CINVESTAV), Center for Research and Advanced Studies.<br />- Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares (ICN), Nuclear Sciences Institute.<br />- If initials are part of the name of the economic unit, do not put them in parentheses.<br />- Tienda del ISSSTE (ISSSTE Store)<br />- Tienda de la CFE (CFE Store)<br />- Funeraria del IMSS (IMSS Funeral Home)<br />- Oficina de la SEP estatal (State SEP Office)<br />- Economic units awarded by concession, that is, businesses who perform their activities within the facilities of another unit, for example, a travel agency, boutique, pharmacy, car rental agency inside a corporate hotel; a cafeteria, book store, gift store, inside a museum.</div><div class="i2">In the case of economic units awarded by concession that operate inside the facilities of another economic unit of the public sector, generally, there is no difficulty differentiating the latter by the type of activity to which one and another is dedicated; but in the private sector, it may be difficult to make this distinction, especially in the case of one or more economic units within the address of a single economic unit. In situations like this, the difficulty may be eased thanks to the knowledge the survey staff themselves have about the operation of economic units in their cities, but not in others; thus, in case of doubt, ask additional questions to obtain the correct information.<br /><br />The type of additional questions you may ask include:</div><div class="i3">- Does the gift shop where you work belong to the hospital itself or is it another company?<br />- Does the stationery shop where Luis works belong to the university or is it private?<br />- Does the restaurant where Amanda works belong to the same store or is it another company?</div><div class="i2">2. The business does not have a name</div><div class="i3">- Economic units that do not have a name, regardless of the economic activity to which they are dedicated.<br />- Workers dedicated to trades (masons, carpenters, merchants, gardeners, house painters, plumbers).<br />- Technicians and professionals. In the case of professionals, they may have a professional license, but, for the survey, having one does not mean they have a name.<br />- Workers dedicated to domestic service who work in their own home: people who wash and iron other people's clothes.<br />- Economic units of farm and livestock workers. Do not confuse the name of the plot, farm (economic unit) with that of the communal land or town where it is located.</div><div class="i2">3. (Subordinate) worker of a domestic unit or worker under another worker</div><div class="i3">- Subordinate workers who work as live-in or on an hourly basis for a domestic unit. There are two types of domestic workers working for domestic units:<br />- Domestic servants, per se, that is, housekeepers, drivers, laundresses, butler, nanny, ironer, servant, security guard.<br />- Non-domestic servants in personal service, such as nurses and teachers.<br />In this latter case it is important that you ask additional questions to ascertain whether they are effectively subordinate workers and not independent: who set the working conditions (income, work schedule, etc.) for the performance of your job?</div><div class="i2">If the response is that the person who set the working conditions was the person who hired them for their services, circle this option, as it corroborates that it is, effectively, a subordinate worker; otherwise, go back to battery of questions 3 to correct the sequence, as the person is an independent worker.<br /><br />That said, among workers who provide services to domestic units are those who work directly for these units, that is, who were hired by them, and those people who are employed by a private job placement agency.<br /><br />In the first case, circle this option; in the second, circle option 1, as it is a person employed directly by the company whose work consists of providing cleaning services, care of the elderly or the sick, child care, to homes that request it.</div><div class="i3">- Subordinate workers of another subordinate worker, that is, people (family or not) who work supporting or replacing for a determined period of time (and may or may not be paid), subordinate workers who are directly employed by an</div><div class="i2">3. (Subordinate) worker of a domestic unit or worker under another worker<br /><br />economic unit, and in which said workers and not the economic unit on which they depend, are solely responsible for the workers who support or replace them.<br /><br />The direct employees of the economic unit become a type of employer or independent economic unit, and therefore, exclusively responsible for the workers who support or replace them. The indirect workers may work at the same site where their employer works or in their own home or the place indicated by the latter.<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i3">- The interviewee each month assists a secondary school teacher reviewing school work and exams; in exchange, he/she is paid from the teacher's own pocket.<br />- Ramiro replaces his uncle in cleaning the facilities of the company where he works, because the uncle is sick. In exchange, Ramiro received from his uncle's hands, not from the company, the weekly salary due to the uncle.<br />- Andrés helps his father, who is a mason, who in turn works as a salaried employee of a contractor: Andrés is not paid for helping his father.</div><div class="i2">To identify those who work for subordinate workers, just write an asterisk beside option 3 and enter a clarification in this regard, as follows: Is a helper or employee of a subordinate worker. This note is extremely important for the treatment phase. So, without exception, you must write it.<br /><br />Subordinate workers who work outside of the scope of the private home in which the domestic unit that hired their services operates, as in the case of a person who is hired by a homemaker to clean some land she owns; the worker hired by a grant recipient to assist in the completion of their professional thesis.<br /><br />Note that in the two cases cited, the subordinate worker was hired by a non-economically active person to generate goods and services.<br /><br />4. Is a worker abroad<br /><br />- Workers who work in economic units located outside of the national territory, as well as those who work for foreign consulates or embassies located in Mexico.<br />- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1, 2 or 9, continue with question 4a; if you circle option 3, go to question 5; if you circle option 4, go to question 8.</div>
<br />The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify some important characteristics of the economic units, taking as a starting point the establishment in which the people who are employed perform their main job. Some of these characteristics are: name, proprietary sector, type of activity to which it is dedicated, the way in which it operates (whether or not it is registered under the Law of Corporations, in the case of private companies and businesses, or the way in which the public administration of this country operates), availability of premises and accounting records, as well as the geographic level in which it performs, in the case of private companies and businesses.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4</span>
<br />This question is asked to employed persons, in order to find out if the economic unit for which they work has a name.
