Of the following types of activity, which did you perform last week?</span><br /><br />When asking the question, read the alternatives slowly and in the order that they appear on the Form until you get an affirmative response. When this happens, move on to the next question (16) or jump to question 19, depending on the alternative that you marked. The alternative should be marked in accordance with the following considerations:<br /><br /><span class="em">0. Did you work last week?</span><br /><br />This is a person who performed compensated work during the week in question, continuously or incidentally, accepting as work even activities performed for an hour or more during the week in question. Household domestic employees are included in this category. Furthermore, uncompensated family employees and apprentices are also included in this category.<br /><br /><span class="em">1. Did you not work but had a job? (Leave, sickness, vacation, etc.)</span><br /><br />When the person being enumerated has a job or business, but during the week in question did not work because they were on leave, on vacation, sick, temporarily absent, etc.<br /><br /><span class="em">2. Did you perform tasks in the house and work?</span><br /><br />When the person dedicates himself to the tasks of the home and also performed some activity, even if it was for an hour such as: selling food, handicrafts; washing, sewing or ironing for money, or helping with field work, <span class="pg">[p. 43]</span> planting, harvesting, or taking care or animals.<br /><br /><span class="em">3.

Did you look for work for the first time?</span><br /><br />This is appropriate for the person who, without having worked previously, actively looked for work during the week previous to the Day of the Census.<br /><br /><span class="em">5.

People who work in compensated domestic service are not included in this category.<br /><br /><span class="em">8.
