<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 1d</span>
<br />This question is asked to those absent from their job for reasons other than strike, technical stoppage, temporary suspension, attendance at training courses or starting a job, to find out if their labor bond with the economic unit remains in place, through the ongoing receipt of income during their absence.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications:
<br />Temporarily absent from work. Person who, despite not having worked during the reference period (regardless of the reason), states they maintain their labor bond with the economic unit with which a contract was established (oral or written).</p>
<p>Labor bond. The relationship that exists between a worker and an economic unit, as a result of a labor pact or agreement (oral or written), which determines the ongoing payment of income during the absence (regardless of the reason for the absence and the time it lasts) or due to the guaranty that they will return to their job at the end of the contingency that resulted in their absence.</p>
<p>The availability of capital invested in a company or business, in the case of independent workers, does not in itself guaranty the receipt of income during the reference period; this can only be guaranteed by the fact that the business remains in operation despite the absence.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Consider, in the case of independent workers, that the labor bond between them and their own economic unit remains only if it continues to operate despite their absence and even if it operated with losses. Under both circumstances, consider income to have been received, that is, circle option 1.<br /><br />To find out if an economic unit opened its doors during the reference period, despite the owner's absence, ask additional questions such as the following: "Even though you aren't going to work, are there people attending your business?" "While Mr. Luis was on vacation, did anyone open the business?</div><p>Examples:
<br />[Omitted table]</p>
<div class="i1">- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1, go to question 3; if you circle option 2 or 9, continue with question 1e.</div>
