Interviewer instructions
7.2.4. Individual
Questions 29-35 must be answer with reference to the same job
Question 29- What is your main occupation?
[There is an image of question 29]
Occupation is the profession or type of work, paid or not, that corresponds to a particular title or professional degree, constituted by a group of tasks that make up the work toward the same goal and that require similar knowledge.
An occupation is a complex notion, in which you should consider the function or professional category inherent in the tasks that are performed in the respective occupation.
An occupation should be indicated in a clear and precise manner.
Examples: Painter, First grade teacher, an agricultural machine operator, paper maker, HVAC technician, etc.
Many times after obtaining an answer there remains a difficulty to clearly identify and classify (codify) the occupation. Sometimes the title used for the occupation can refer merely to the sector of activity or a professional task.
For example:
Public Servant- could include administrative assistant, technical director, janitor, etc.
Construction Worker- could be a carpenter, painter, bricklayer, scaffolding operator, mason, etc.
Textile Worker- could be a textile dyer, weaver, sewing machine operator, bobbin worker, etc.
If the person prefers more than one occupation you must indicate the one that took up most of his/her time during the census week, or if the same amount of time was spent indicate the one that generated more income.
If during this week the person performed an activity that was very different from his/her regular job (due to vacation, etc.), you must indicate his/her regular job.
If the person was unemployed and looking for work during the reference week you should respond according to the last occupation that the person had.
