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 1e</span>
<br />This question is asked to those absent from their jobs who did not receive income during the absence, to find out when their activity will resume.</p>

<p>[Omitted figure]</p>

<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">1. They have already returned to work or will return this week</div><div class="i2">Those who have returned or will return to their jobs during the week the survey is conducted.</div><div class="i1">2. In four weeks or less</div><div class="i2">People who are going to return to work within not more than four weeks, as of the first day of the week the survey is conducted.</div><div class="i1">3. In more than four weeks</div><div class="i2">People who will return to their jobs after a period longer than four weeks, as of the first day of the week the survey is conducted.</div><div class="i1">3. In more than four weeks</div><div class="i2">As you can see, the period for this option is undefined, it just depends on the certainty the workers say that they will return to their source of work. A lot of time may pass (months or even years), and nonetheless, the possibility of their return is accepted as valid, regardless of the reason they ceased to attend (illness, leave).</div><div class="i1">4. There is not security the person will return to work or when their activity will resume.</div><div class="i2">People who do not know when they will return or when their activity will resume.</div><div class="i1">5. Will not return</div><div class="i2">Those who will not return to their job or will not resume their activity.</div>
