<svar a="all" v="FR62A414 FR62A415 FR62A416 FR62A427 FR62A428 FR62A429"><span class="em">Questions 11 through 17</span> The questions on professional activity are especially important.

For example: department- store salesperson, metal turner, chemical engineer.</div><br /><div class="i2">Civil Servant<br />Railroad employee<br />Gas company worker</div><br /><div class="i3">Specify the rank or job of civil servants and employees of public services.

These persons should answer "yes" to question 12, even if they only work as such on a part- time basis.<br />This question concerns, for example, the wife of a farmer who participates in farm work, or the wife or daughter of a shopkeeper who spends a few hours a day at the shop as a salesperson or at the cash register.<br /><span class="em">Question 13 - Household employee</span>. This category is not intended for persons who are self- employed and work at home (craftsmen, seamstresses, milliners). It applies only to persons who work at home, often on a piecework basis, for an industrial or commercial establishment which pays them on this basis. Such is the case, for example, of certain designers for fashion magazines, persons who work for design houses, etc.<br />If these persons have several employers at the same time, indicate in question 15 which is their principal employer.<br /></svar>
