Presentation
Strengthening the generation of statistical and geographical information in Mexico is one of the functions of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI - National Institute of Statistics and Geography).

The objective of the National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE, Spanish acronym) project is to provide continuous information about the main characteristics of the occupation and employment of the Mexican population.

The ENOE captures reliable and quality information, which is why it is necessary for field personnel to fully understand the conceptual and operational aspects of the project.
This manual is aimed mainly at the interviewer and the entire operational structure participating in the survey, but also at everyone who is interested in knowing the ENOE.

[Important: This instruction form includes sections 4, 5, 6, and 7 from the original manual. These sections are the ones that detailed how to filled/asked questions.]

[p.40]

4.3 Selection units
The following are the concepts related to selection units:

Primary sampling units (PSU)
These are units of area with identifiable boundaries on the ground, which group a set of homes, whose conformation criteria depend on each project.

To construct the primary sampling units, geographical elements were used that result from primary units that vary the least over time and are more identifiable in the field, as is the case of locales, blocks and BGSA (Basic Geo-Statistical Areas).

In a first stage, the primary sampling units that make up the sampling elements were selected. In the case of locales with blocks and segments in scattered rural areas, homes are selected in a second stage.

PSUs were covered in their entirety and the lists of homes were drawn up, which is why they are also known as the listing area, a term that will be used synonymously with PSU. The criteria for their conformation depend on the size of the locale to which they belong:

PSUs may be part of a BGSA, a complete BGSA or two or more joined BGSAs.

[p.41]

Segment
The set of approximately 10 homes close to each other, conformed in this way due to difficulty in accessing a rural PSU, due to a hilly terrain or the dispersion of the homes.

The purpose of a segment-type division is to reduce the interviewer's travel time from one selected home to another in order to guaranty that they collect the information in all the selected homes.

4.4 Basic concepts
Below we describe the concepts of home and their classification in order to guaranty success in managing the list of homes to correctly locate the selected homes.

Home. Delimited space, generally by walls and ceilings of any material, with independent entry that is used for living, that is, to prepare food, eat, and protect oneself from the environment.

Classification of homes. The difference between the places where people live must be established, therefore homes are classified as group living arrangement and private home.

[Table omitted -- included the following definitions for group living arrangement and private home]

Group living arrangement:

Site intended to provide lodging to groups of people who are subject to co-living and behavior rules for reasons of health, education, discipline, rehabilitation, religion, work, social assistance and lodging, among others.

Most group living arrangements have a sign or business name that identifies them. These homes are classified into:

Private home:

That used, in accordance with statistical frameworks in the creation of the framework of homes, as dwelling of usual household accommodation.

Private homes are characterized by having an independent entrance that allows their residents to enter and exit to the street or countryside, common spaces (hallways, patios, stairways), without passing through the inside of the rooms of another home.

The home may have been built or adapted to be inhabited.

Private homes are classified into:

[p.42]

Other types of private homes are:

Room in tenement. This type may or may not share a wall, ceiling or floor with another home and their residents may share water and toilet services.

[Omitted image -- shows example of a room in tenement]

Rooftop studio. Type in which the residents constitute an independent household, that is, they do not share grocery expenses with the residents of the apartment or home to which the studio belongs.

[Omitted image -- shows example of a rooftop studio]

Buildings constructed for purposes other than residential, but used for this purpose at the time the list was drawn up: warehouses, workshops, schools, commercial premises, sheds, etc. and those built with waste materials in irregular settlements and landfills.

[Omitted image -- shows example of building constructed for purposes other than residential]

Natural shelters. Spaces adapted as permanent homes.

[Omitted image -- shows example of natural shelters]

[p.43]

Mobile homes. These are vehicles adapted as homes: trailers, boats, circus caravans, train cars, and even makeshift shelters under bridges, in drainage pipes, etc. The main characteristic of this type of home is that it is ready to be moved at any time. Due to the ease with which they can be moved, they do not appear on the list, only on the diagrams.

[Omitted image -- shows example of mobile homes]

Occupation status of the homes
Based on their occupation status, the private homes are classified into:

Inhabited home. These, at the time of the interview, provide accommodation to one or more people who normally live there.

[Omitted image -- shows example of an inhabited home]

Uninhabited home. These, at the time of the interview, are uninhabited, but, based on information from neighbors or other sources, is normally used to lodge households.

[Omitted image -- shows example of an uninhabited home]

[p.44]

Temporary use home. Homes cataloged as such because they are inhabited only on weekends or during certain seasons of the year for purposes of vacation, because their owners have another home in which they regularly reside. Another type of temporary use home is the rooms used as a home by hired laborers or farmers during the planting or harvest season.

[Omitted image -- shows example of a temporary use home]

[p.73]

6. Sociodemographic questionnaire

The central goal of the sociodemographic questionnaire is to record, as its name states, the main sociodemographic characteristics of the residents of selected homes, such as sex, age, place of birth, education, marital status of the people and to identify the population 12 years of age or older to whom the occupation and employment survey should be applied (the purpose of which is to identify information in the occupational characteristics of the population). Additionally, it permits precise control of the field work, as shown below.

Taking into consideration that the ENOE is a survey visiting the selected residence up to five times, once each trimester (the first visit is made to compile the required information and the remaining four visits are made to update this information), the questionnaire design is such that most of the headings, especially those related to identification data, include up to five fields to record information referring to the same topic.

In general terms, the sociodemographic 1uestionnaire is divided into two larger sections which we will call cover page and back. The content and completion instructions are described below, first, of the cover page and then those referring to the back

Cover page

[Omitted figure - image of the first page from the sociodemographic questionnaire]

[p.74]

Most of this section contains information that allows the selected homes to be located, from a geographical and processing perspective, and provides operative control of the interview, but also allows the basis of the information that will be obtained in relation to the residents of the home, the number of households included within them and the availability of the domestic employees.

6.1 Section I. Identification data
The objective of this section is to geographically reference the selected home.

Instructions:

Questionnaire of questionnaires
This heading is used to enter the number of questionnaires used to obtain the information from each household. Fill out this heading. Until you have finished the interview.

[Omitted figure]

To avoid overlap, whenever you use more than one questionnaire, be sure that you enter all identification data on each of them.

[p.75]

Telephone number
This data can be extremely useful to verify or supplement the information compiled during the interview, set appointments (interview date and time) when it has been difficult to contact the informant; but if they refuse to provide them, do not insist, leave the space blank. Regardless of the response to this request, explain that this information will only be used in the cases described.

[Omitted figure]

Household number
To determine the number you should enter in this heading, first check how many households or groups of people are in the home. To do this, consult the information in question 3 of section V Residents of the home and household identification, and also take the following criteria into consideration:

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:

Household moved
Household moved. The replacement of one household by another in the course of the second to fifth visit to the home.

[p.76]

Conceptual clarifications:
This heading identifies whether the household(s) recorded as residents of the home in the first interview are or are not the same from one interview to another throughout the five trimesters the home remains in the sampling.

A household is considered to have moved from the home if all the members of the household left, and only if said household was replaced by another. From an operational perspective, the existence of a household moved should only be entered if an interview has been conducted with the household that replaced the previous one.

If the new household refuses to provide the information, the number entered in the field Household moved on the questionnaire of the previous household should not be changed under any circumstances until the replacement becomes effective; therefore, only for operational purposes you should continue using the same questionnaire for the household that was there to enter the results of the refusal.

A household is also considered to have moved in cases such as the following:

Do not change the code entered in household moved. Limit yourself to updating the information.

To facilitate the operational work, use the same questionnaire that had been used before the home was abandoned.

[p.78]

Example:

First interview
[Omitted table]

Second interview
[Omitted table]

Fourth interview
[Omitted table]

[p.79]

Example:

[Omitted table]

Don't consider a household to have been replaced if at least one of the members 12 years old or older from the previous household remains in the home, due to the simple fact that members have been added who are older than the members of the original household; in this case consider the new residents simply as new members.

Example:

[Omitted table]

Fourth interview
[Omitted table]

[p.80]

Instructions:

To facilitate the explanation of how to report households moved, in the example shown below, the surnames of the supposed households are included, although in practice you will have to review the information entered in the first five questions as a whole in order to determine if a household has moved, considering that when the information is obtained, the people's surnames are not entered.

Homes with one household
Household status:

1. The household moved and was replaced

How to proceed?
In this case three situations may be present:

To report the case as a household moved, do the following:

In the case of the household that has moved due to the departure of members 12 years of age or older and in the case of employers (of domestic servants) who have returned to the home, in addition to the aforementioned criteria, do the following: include those less than 12 years of age as members of the new household; and in the case of domestic servant(s), include them on the same questionnaire for the new household, at the end of the list of members of the household.

[p.81]

Example:

[Omitted table]

2. The interview could not be conducted in the first trimester
If you are not able to obtain the information in the first interview for any reason, enter the code 1 in household number and the code zero in household moved. These codes shall remain even until you are able to conduct the interview in the household. In these cases, use the same sociodemographic questionnaire to collect the information.

If in any subsequent interview you find that the home is now inhabited, use the same questionnaire to collect the information.

Example:

[Omitted figure]

[p.82]

3. The home is uninhabited
If in an interview other than the first, you find that the household entered previously has abandoned the home and it is now uninhabited, proceed as follows:

This same criterion applies if only children less than 12 years old have remained in the home, as they are inadequate informants.

Example:
[Omitted table]

4. The household that had moved has returned
If when you go back to the selected home you find that it is again inhabited and when conducting the interview you detect that it is the same household as that obtained in another interview, do not treat it as a household moved, as the household was not replaced by another; therefore the code entered in the heading household moved should not be changed.

Now, in order to facilitate the work of updating the information, you should use the same questionnaire.

Example:
[Omitted table]

[p.83]

4. The household that had moved has returned
If a household returns after another has inhabited the home, treat it as a household moved. That is, obtain the information on another questionnaire.

Example:
[Omitted table]

Homes with two or more households
The procedure to report cases of a household that has moved when two or more households reside in the selected home is similar to that for cases in which only one household is in residence, except in the following situations:

Household status
1. One or more households left, but there was another in their place

How to proceed?
If, when conducting the interview, you detect that one or more of the households have moved but were replaced, do the following:

Example:
[Omitted table]

[p.84]

2. One or more households left and they were not replaced
If, when conducting the interview, you find that there are fewer households in the home than those obtained in the previous interview, do the following:

Cancel the questionnaire for the household that has moved as follows:

[p.85]

3. One or more households left, but were replaced in subsequent interviews
If when you go back to a home in which the number of resident households reported had previously decreased, you detect that the number has again increased, record the new households as follows:

Example:
[Omitted table]

[p.86]

4. All the households left and none were replaced
When you detect that in a previous interview the presence of two or more households was reported, but in the current interview you detect that the home is uninhabited, report the situation as follows:

Example:
[Omitted table]

[p.87]

Special case
Treatment of the household that moved. If in an interview after the first one, when trying to update the information, the informant reports that the information obtained previously was purposely falsified and agrees to correct it in the current visit, as an exceptional case, treat it as a household that has moved in order to obtain the correct information.

Joining or dividing households in the home
It is possible that during the second to fifth interviews you detect that the quantity of households in the home has increased or decreased in relation to the number originally recorded, because they decided to unite (join) or separate (divide).

Conceptual clarifications:
Joining of households. Union of two or more households that had previously been obtained as independent. Consider them joined when the households begin to share grocery expenses.
Dividing of households. Separation that occurs in a household (that had previously been obtained as a single one) to form two or more households. Consider them divided when the households no longer share grocery expenses.

Instructions:
In the case of joining:

[p.88]

When there is division of household(s):

In the case of a wrong home:

Although it is uncommon, there is a possibility you will find that, due to error, the information was collected in the wrong home. Before making any correction, verify the situation. Compare the identification data on the list of homes with the physical location of the home. Remember that it is wrong to define the location of a home based on the name entered on the list of homes; if you consider it appropriate, ask for your supervisor's support.

If you find that you have effectively been completing the survey on the wrong home, do the following:

[p.89]

6.2 Section II. Result of the interview
The objective of this section is to understand the results you have obtained by going to conduct the interview. This result may vary in each interview, thus they have considered the fields to enter the results each interviewer obtains during the time the home is in the sample. The section is divided into two parts, preliminary and final, of which you only have to fill out the preliminary results column; the final results should be filled out by the supervisor.

[Omitted figure]

[p.90]

Instructions:
Taking into account that it is not always feasible to locate the residents of the selected homes the first time you go to a home to obtain the information, you should return up to five times, at different times, throughout the week of the survey, trying to locate an adequate informant.

All homes must be visited in the appropriate trimester, regardless of the result reported previously, as its inhabitation status may change from one trimester to another.

To classify the results of the interview there are four categories:

In all those cases where the result has been no interview, regardless of the code assigned, provide the supervisor useful or relevant information in the comments section that permits the verification or rescue of an interview. For example, indicate the time you were able to find the residents, the willingness or lack thereof of the informants who could attend the interview, if there are any neighbors who could provide information, characteristics of the home or the area that are not specified in the field material.

Below you will find the instructions to follow to fill out the data in this section:

[p. 90]

Type A Home inhabited
The situations in which the interview is not achieved, despite the presence of residents in the home, are grouped in this category. Remember that before reporting a case in this category you must have visited the home up to five times, on different days and at different hours during the week of the survey, trying to find the adequate informant; in addition, have questioned the neighbors about what time you could find them.

To ensure the participation of the people in those cases in which they refuse to cooperate or when you are not able to establish contact with them despite the visits to the home at different hours, you have presentation documents through which people are provided with specific information about the objective of the survey and are invited to participate.

Code and reason:

01. There is no one in the home at the time of the interview
Assign this code when:
After the five visits to the selected home, you have not been able to establish contact with any resident of said home, despite that you went there, throughout the week of the survey, on different days and at different hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should have been able to verify, at least, which day and at what time they could be contacted by the supervisor, who will have to go to try to obtain the information.

The investigation related to the time any resident could be located may be done among the neighbors, concierges or security guards. If you have not been able to establish contact with anyone who can provide you information, observe the conditions of the home to determine whether it is inhabited; you can observe this based on the fact that the electrical meter is turning, the presence of clothing on the line, pets or plants with signs that someone takes care of them.

02. Temporarily absent
- You have not been able to conduct the interview during the week of the survey because you could not establish contact with any of the residents of the home because they are temporarily absent for different reasons: vacation, work, dealing with personal matters, illness.

[p.91]

03. Refused to give information
The adequate informant has denied providing the information. In this situation, explain to them the purpose of the survey and highlight the confidential handling of the information.
In a final attempt to try to convince the residents to agree to provide the information, leave in the entrance to the home, in a visible location, the appointment scheduling forms and collaboration request, and return at another time to learn their response.

Assign this code regardless of the argument given finally for not attending or continue providing the information: having given the information for this or another INEGI project or another institution, public or private (radio survey, political party).

Under no circumstance should you give up on your attempts to obtain the information during the period of the five visits to the home due to the simple fact that on the first, second, third or fourth time you went you were not received by any member of the household or your presence was ignored. Consider it a refusal only if someone assumed to be a member of the household, expressed n words that they did not wish to cooperate.

04. Inadequate informant
You detect the presence of people who do not meet the requirements to be considered adequate informants. Remember these are:

05. Other reason
You have not been able to establish contact with any of the residents due to reasons other than those cited above:

[p.93]

05. Other reason

14. The household moved

15. Interview suspended

Type B. Home uninhabited
The main characteristic of this type of no interview is that, at least during the period of the survey, the home was uninhabited. You should not assign a type B no interview code for any reason before you have done everything possible to investigate among the neighbors the real situation of the home. Do not settle for the simple visual assessment of the physical conditions present in the home.

The main characteristics of this typology is that no one has lived in the selected homes during the period of the survey.

Assign a specific code in this category in accordance with the following:

[p.94]

06. Suitable for inhabitation

The condition of a home being uninhabited can be observed based on, for example, one or more of the following situations:

07. Temporary use
You detect that a home is furnished or has items inside, and is used with a certain frequency (weekends, vacation periods, planting season), to rest or for other purposes. Assign this code even if it is not used, but there is furniture or other items present inside.

The information you compile from the neighbors is the only way you can guaranty this code is correct. If you are not able to determine that it is a home for temporary use or is uninhabited, consider it uninhabited, suitable for inhabitation (code 06).

Remember that for the survey it does not matter which group of people inhabit the home: the owners, renters, domestic servants, "aviators" or other groups. You are only interested in knowing if it is inhabited or not; and if it is inhabited, learning the sociodemographic and economic.

08. Not suitable for inhabitation
The selected home is uninhabitable due to deterioration: fractured walls or roof, missing windows, doors, roof or in the process of remodeling.

09. Temporary use for purposes other than inhabitation
The selected home is used temporarily as an office, business, workshop, factory, warehouse, nursery, school.

This temporary status is conditional on the five trimesters the home remains in the sample. If a home has been classified during three consecutive trimesters with this code, in the fourth trimester, assign it number 12 Permanent use for purposes other than inhabitation.

[p.85]

Type C. Home outside of sample
Includes situations that affect the sample, for such reasons as:

10. Demolished ·
The selected home as been demolished, destroyed or is in the process of demolition.

11. Change of site (mobile)
The selected homes, despite being registered on the list of homes, are not found in the field. This may happen in very special cases; for example, in the case of a trailer, houseboat, improvised camp under bridges, drainage pipe, which apparently, at least when listed, appeared to have been permanently located in the place, but when the ENOE staff went there, they had disappeared.

12. Permanent use for purposes other than inhabitation ·
The selected home has been adapted to be used exclusively and permanently as a workshop, shop, warehouse, house of prayer, etc.

13. Other reason
(Specify in the comments section)
The reason for the no interview cannot be classified in any of the above options, for example:

Joined homes (in this case enter the reason and report to the supervisor; if you have questions about how to identify them, see chapter 4 of this manual).

[p.96]

6.3 Section III. Data of operational staff
The purpose of this section is to know who participates in the phases of the survey, supervision and handling of the information compiled in each trimester.

[Omitted figure]

Instruction:

6.4 Section IV. Supervision
The purpose of this section is for the supervisor to indicate whether the interview was subject to observation, therefore, it is exclusively for their use.

[Omitted figure]

[p.97]

6.5 Section V. Residents of the home and identification of households
The purpose of this section is to identify, in each interview, how many people normally reside in the home and how many households make up this group of people.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:
This section contains four questions, which are asked in each interview as if being asked for the first time.

Although it has already been stated, it is worth emphasizing how important it is, when conducting the interview, to ask the questions textually, in order to avoid losing valuable information, as in this case, the identification of habitual residents of the home, and the questions are designed in such a way that it is the informant, and not you, who defines who are the habitual residents of their home.

A typical case in which the informant tends to have doubts when defining the residence status is that of students and workers who, due to the long distance to their study and work centers, respectively, must reside, most of the week, in another private home. Only in this type of cases will you be the one to decide whether or not to consider a person a habitual resident based on the criteria listed in the next question.

[p.98]

Question 1
The question is asked in each interview to learn the total number of people who habitually reside in the home.

Habitual resident. Person who normally lives in the selected home, in which they usually sleep, eat and are protected from the environment; as well as those found in the home at the time of the interview who did not have another place to live.

Instructions:

Habitual residents:

The people who normally live in the home, regardless of their nationality.

Newborns (including those who have not arrived at the home because they are still in the hospital).

People who don't sleep regularly in selected home but rather in:

Those temporarily absent due to passing circumstances, such as completing academic practice, travel for business or pleasure, work commission.

People who are hospitalized and inmates in a prison, as long as the absence is less than or equal to 3 months, as of the interview date. If on two consecutive visits a person is reported as absent, consider them a non-resident.

Not habitual residents of the home of origin (selected):
Students and workers who normally sleep most of the week in a private home other than the selected home, due to the distance to their workplace or study center

People who have resided for more than three months in a group living arrangement located in the national territory, for example, patients in a hospital, people in jail facing a legal problem, people professing their religious faith. Exclude workers and students.

People who have been living abroad for more than three months without reporting the reasons for their stay: legal provisions, academic or religious training, work, etc.

People who arrived at the selected home with the intention of remaining only for a time while they resolve a contingency in their own home or in their household. For example, during a flood or earthquake risk, problems with public safety or a personal conflict.

If they are still residing in the home at the next interview, check their residence status asking if they intend to continue living in that home permanently or for at least three more months; if so, consider them residents, otherwise no.

[p.99]

Habitual residents:
People who are present at the time of the interview because they have no other fixed place to live: elderly or children of divorced parents who are temporarily living in different homes.

Guests or tenants (that is, people who pay for the service of lodging and food, or only for the first).

Domestic workers and their families who live in the same home as their employers, sleep and prepare their meals.

Not habitual residents of the home of origin (selected):

Permanently absent. People who have been living somewhere else permanently, regardless of the time that has passed since they left or the reason: school, work, marriage, divorce, etc.

People with a residence for more than three months in an unknown location. If a person has left the selected home more than three months ago, counted from the moment they left, and it is not known if they live in a private or a group living arrangement, do not count them as a resident of the (selected) home.

Sequence to follow. If only one person resides in the home, enter the indicated amount (01); and do not ask question number two so it doesn't sound out of context, but do not leave it blank for any reason, in these cases always assign the response option 1 in question 2. If two or more people reside in the home, continue with the normal interview, that is, read the questions that follow.

Question 2
This question is asked in each interview in homes where more than one person reside, to find out how many of them form independent households.

Household. A group made up of two or more people who habitually reside in the same home, and are sustained by common expenses, principally to provide food, and may or may not be related.

One-person household. Person who does not share grocery expenses with other person(s)
constitutes an independent household.

In accordance with the foregoing, there will be as many households in the home as groups of people who are sharing grocery expenses.

[p.100]

Conceptual clarifications:
Criterion of the common pot in the conformation of households. Based on the way in which they decided to organize themselves, implicitly or explicitly, the residents of a home, with or without familial bonds, may be sharing, in addition to grocery expenses, the payment of services such as rent for the home, water, electricity, telephone, etc.; however, the sole criterion to define the presence of one or more households is the fact of sharing grocery expenses, a situation that may occur weekly or only a few days of it, but habitually.

Instructions:

[p.101]

Question 3
This question is asked in each interview to learn the number of households that habitually reside in the homes.

Conceptual clarifications
Don't forget that there will be as may households in a home as groups of people who are sharing grocery expenses.

Remember that if a maximum of up to six households reside in a home, including the main one, regardless of the type of household conformed inside it (household made up of only one couple with or without children; this type of household plus other relatives or non-relatives), you should consider it a private home, that is, subject to interview.

If seven or more households reside in a home, consider it a group living arrangement, in which case you will have to suspend the interview, as it is not subject to study of the survey.

Instructions:
Identification of number of households. To exemplify the way in which the households residing in a home should be counted and the procedure to follow to obtain the information, below is a series of cases on the matter:

[Omitted table]

[p.103]

Question 4
This question is asked in all households of the home to identify those who have domestic service.
Instructions:

[p.104]

6.6 Section VI. Comments
In this section, record any type of clarification or recommendation about the field work so the supervisor or interviewer who goes in the next trimester is aware of any situation in particular that could affect the result of the interview.

The data you can enter, for example, includes the date and time at which you can find the informants; if necessary, make an appointment with the informant in advance; if they seem reluctant to provide the information; if there are risks in the area or what the reasons are that the informant refuses to provide the information. For reference, each entry specifies the interview number or period.

[p.105]

6.5 Section VII. Sociodemographic characteristics
In this section, the sociodemographic information of the members of the household in the selected home is obtained. The type of information collected varies based on the different age groups and sex of the people subject to the study, as shown on the following chart:

[Omitted figure]

The preceding topic can be seen on the back of the sociodemographic questionnaire, that is, in the next image:

[Omitted figure]

[p.106]

As you can see, section VII. sociodemographic characteristics includes shaded and unshaded columns; the purpose of this design is to point out the type of questions you will have to ask depending on whether it is the first interview or the second to fifth. Thus, the questions in the unshaded columns are only asked in the first interview, and the shaded questions in subsequent interviews. There is an exception, in the case of the 7 relationship question and in sections VIII. permanently absent and IX. New residents, since, although they are not shaded, they are also updated starting at the second interview.

In the case of relationship, the update is completed only in those cases in which the head of household has left; in sections VIII and IX, only if new residents are detected in the home or when one or more members of the household have left.

It is very important to point out that the rest of the information obtained in the first interview through this questionnaire is not to be corrected for any reason, even when errors are detected in the following interviews; therefore it is very important that if any error is detected during the first interview, it is corrected going back to the field, if necessary.

Below are instructions for filling out the information obtained in the first interview, which includes questions 5 to 19; at the end, the instructions that you will have to follow to obtain the information from the second to the fifth interview are presented.

First interview

Question 5
This question is asked to identify all members of the household.

Conceptual clarifications:
Members of the household. People who habitually reside in the same home and are sustained by common expenses, principally for groceries.
Head of household. Member of the household 12 years of age or older that all or most of the informants recognize as such, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, or if he or she contributes or not to its economic sustenance.

[p.107]

Instructions:

[p.108]

Remember to only enter on the same household questionnaire those who pay for lodging services (and at the end of the member list) if they are one-person households; if they have formed households among themselves, on an independent questionnaire.

After you have recorded the last member of the household, draw a red line at the end of the list; the line should cover the entire section VII sociodemographic characteristics. The purpose of this line is to differentiate the number of people entered in the first interview from those that will be recorded in subsequent visits, if new members join the household.

[Omitted figure]

Once you have finished entering all the people who make up the household, in the first interview, ask the rest of the questions, person by person.

Question 7
The purpose of this question is to learn the family relationships between the head of household and the rest of the people who make up the household.

Relationship. The link or bond that exists between the head of household and members of the household, whether by marriage, blood, adoption, affinity or custom.

[Omitted figure]

[p.110]

Spouse or partner. The spouse of the head of household, regardless of whether the bond that unites them is legal, religious or common-law.

The conjugal partner of the head of household may be declared as a spouse, partner, live-in partner, husband, wife, domestic partner or consort.

Son/daughter. These are the direct blood descendants of the head of household and their spouse
who make up part of the household. Include adopted, taken in or recognized and those who are only the children of the head of household's spouse: stepchildren. As much as possible, when obtaining the information, distinguish direct children from adopted, taken in, recognized, and stepchildren by writing the informant's textual response.

Other relationship. People who make up the household and are relatives of the head of household except spouse and children who are bound to the head by blood, affinity or custom, for example: siblings, step-siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, sons- and daughters-in-law, godparents, godchildren.

No relationship. People who are part of the household and do not have any relationship with the head of household, for example: friends, work or school mates, boyfriend or girlfriend or former spouse.

Educational characteristics:
Questions 12 to 17 are asked to members of the household 5 years of age or older, to learn their literacy status, school attendance and maximum level of schooling completed in the National Education System (SEN), including, in addition to the school modality, open and distance learning, and if so, the name of the major studied, the academic background required to study the major and if it was completed.

[Omitted figure]

Question 12
This question is asked to people 5 years of age or older to identify those who can read and write a message and those who cannot.

Know how to read and write a message. Condition that distinguishes the population aged 5 years of age or older who can read and write a brief and simple sentence related to every day life, regardless of the language or tongue in which it is done.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:

[p.117]

Consider a person not to know how to read and write if at any time they knew how to do it, but have now forgotten. If the informant responds "a little", "not much", "more or less", ask them: "Can you... read and write a letter?", "Can you...write something that has happened to you?" Enter the information based on the response.

It is important to explain that the level of education has nothing to do with the fact of whether a person knows how to read and write, as they could have learned without going to school; likewise, they could have completed any level of school and currently do not know how to read and write.

Question 13
This question is asked to people 5 years of age or older to learn the highest level and grade or academic year they have completed, regardless of whether or not they know how to read and write.

Level of education. Refers to studies included in the national education system, or its equivalent in the case of studies abroad.

[Column to record the level]

Educational level

00. None
Assign this code in the case of a person who:
Has not completed any grade or academic year in any level of the national education system starting with primary school.
Has only taken literacy classes.

01. Preschool
Has completed any grade in preschool or kindergarten. This educational cycle comprises three grades, children at age four attend first and second, children five years old attend third.

02. Primary
Has completed any of the grades included in this level (first to sixth grade).

03. Secondary
Has completed any of the grades included in this level.

This level is divided into general secondary, technical secondary and televised secondary, and is taken once primary education is completed, for three years.

Has declared this academic level has been accredited in the Ceneval.

04. Preparatory or baccalaureate
Has studied at this academic level. Preparatory or baccalaureate are inserted in the intermediate to upper level. This is a level taken immediately after secondary for two or three years.

According to the national education system, there are two modalities of intermediate to upper education, both are classified in this code (04):

1. General baccalaureate or college preparatory.
2. Technological baccalaureate (bivalent).

Characteristics of these studies:

[p.119]

06 Technical major.

05. Teacher training
Those who are studying or studied in a major to work as preschool, primary or secondary teachers, or a specific subject area (Spanish, English, French, math, music) or physical education or special education (to teach people with learning disabilities, hearing impairment, blind, visual impairment, mental deficiency).

The person may be studying or have studied this type of academic training in public or private institutions, such as:

[p.120]

06. Technical major
Has completed some level of technical major (basic, middle or university) or commercial major, regardless of the requirement for entry: primary, secondary or preparatory. The duration of this type of study can be 1, 2, 3 or even 4 years.

The main characteristics of this type of major is that upon completion of studies, the graduate obtains a degree that allows them to immediately be incorporated into the production or service environment, this is the end of their academic training, so the studies are called terminal, as if the graduate wishes to continue studying at the next level, they must complete secondary, general preparatory or college preparatory, as applicable.

In relation to the latter, there is an exception to the rule: the case of university technical level majors where graduates can terminate their academic training or continue their studies to acquire the graduate degree or engineer degree.

Institutions that provide this type of studies in the country include:

[p.121]

Exclude from this code the technical majors for teachers, as they are classified in option 05 Teacher training, prioritizing the teacher profile.

07. Professional
Has studied at this level. This educational level includes studies completed in universities, technological schools, polytechnic schools and other public and private institutions of upper level education, which require preparatory or baccalaureate for entry.

Exclude diplomas, as these do not grant any academic degree and their academic background and duration are very varied; in this case, obtain the last level and year completed in the National Education System.

08 Master's degree
Has completed studies at this level.
This level includes master's studies and are taken after the professional level has been completed.

Consider that the specialty of physicians, whose duration is at least two years, is equivalent to the level of a master's degree.

09. Doctor's degree
Has completed this academic level.
This level includes doctoral studies and is studied after the level of a master's degree has been completed.

The sub-specialty of physicians is equivalent to the doctorate.

Column to record the grade or year completed
- Grades/years completed at time of the interview. When obtaining the information, only record the grades equivalent to academic year(s).

Exclude grades not completed or those being taken at the time of the interview (even if they only have days to complete it).

Remember that the purpose of this question is to identify the number of grades completed, so you must ask this question even if the information indicated in the previous question indicates that a person does not know how to read and write. The procedure is valid because there are people who knew how to read and write, but

[p.122]

for some reason have lost that ability: due to illness, an accident or they have forgotten due to lack of practice.

The following graph of equivalences will allow you to make the correct conversion to record the information when referring to grades different from academic years.

[Omitted figure]

Example:

Grades that do not equate to an academic year. If the information indicates that a person has not yet completed the equivalent to the first school year at a certain academic level, record the information related to the immediately preceding level.

Example:

Pre-school or kindergarten studies. At this academic level, the criteria of completion does not apply, as you must only record the last grade a child attended.

How to obtain information on studies in the INEA. When the information refers to studies completed through the National Institute for Adult Education (INEA), record the code for the level indicated (primary or secondary) and in grades the number 6 or 3, respectively, but only if the studies were completed; otherwise, enter code 9.

How to obtain information on studies in the CONAFE. The National Council for Educational Development (CONAFE) provides preschool, primary and secondary education. Of these studies, only the primary education grades do not correspond to those

[p.123]

taken in the regular system. Therefore, when obtaining the information you should record the number of grades completed according to the levels completed in the CONAFE, according to the following levels of equivalence:

[Omitted figure]

According to this table, consider a person to have completed the first grade in primary education in the regular system, if they say that level I was completed in CONAFE; to have completed the fourth grade if they completed level II, and to have completed sixth grade only if they completed level III.

In the case of preschool and secondary studies, adopt the same criteria as the regular system, considering that they are one-to-one equivalents.

2. Are you separated?
Married people who no longer live with their partner, but have not divorced.
Those who lived in common-law union, but currently do not live with the other person, nor have they remarried or united.

4. Are you widowed?
People whose partner has died and they have not married again nor do they live in a common-law union with another person.
5. Are you married?
Those who are bound to another person though a legal and/or religious process.
6. Are you single?
People who have never been legally or religiously married nor have they lived in a common-law union.

Sequence to follow. If it is the first interview, go to the section called "Informant" to record the respective information; if it is the second to fifth, and you recorded permanent absences or new members, go to the respective section.

Updating data in the sociodemographic questionnaire:

From the second to fifth interview, as you know, nearly all information obtained through this questionnaire is updated, taking into consideration that from one trimester to another the results of the interview, the inhabitation status of the home, number of households that inhabit it and the sociodemographic characteristics of the members may change, and when a different interviewer visits for each interview to guaranty the quality of the information.

Generally, the criteria to obtain the information on this questionnaire after the first interview are practically the same as those used in the first, with the exception of the sections cited below in the section Sociodemographic characteristics, where it is appropriate to make some clarifications:

6. Residence status
7. Relationship.
9a. Age
17. School attendance
VIII. Permanently absent
IX. New residents

[p.131]

Since the sociodemographic section is somewhat extensive and not all of it is subject to update, the design of the questionnaire allows you to distinguish, by means of shaded columns, that information that is subject to update.

Before continuing, it is worth noting that, you should not correct, for any reason, the information recorded in a prior interview even if you detect that the interviewer who visited previously made serious mistakes, for example, obtaining the incorrect age, as this means it will not be possible to ask the questions in other sections. For example: if a person is recorded as being 4 years old, when it should have been 5, or is recorded as being 11, when it should have been 12, in which case you could not obtain information on the number of children a woman had and the marital status, and the information on the occupation and employment questionnaire. This is why it is important to correctly obtain the information in the first interview.

Below are the instructions to follow to update the sociodemographic information.

Part 6 Residence status
This section applies from the second to the fifth interview, to determine the residence status of the people recorded as residents in the previous visit.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
New members of the household. People who:

Instructions:

[p.132]

Is there anyone else who lives here and is part of this household?
Yes, there are new residents. If the response is yes, ask how many people there are. Write the name of each new member in the column list of persons, on the corresponding line, and in column 6, according to the interview number, assign them code 3 new resident, and ask the rest of the questions from section vii sociodemographic characteristics; finally, go to section ix to identify the reason and place of origin.

[p.133]

It is important to note that code 3 new resident is only used the first time the presence of a new resident is detected; in subsequent interviews, if they continue to live there, use code 1.

People who have returned to the home to rejoin the household in question again are also treated as new residents. Record them on a new line and in column 6, in the respective visit, write code 3.

[Omitted figure]

[p.134]

In the preceding example, it is evident that the household was integrated into the home on the third interview, and in the fourth there were two migratory movements (line 04 left and 06 arrived), which is why the section Interview number (question 6) only contains information in columns four and five.

Question 7
Relationship update. The update of this question only applies in those cases in which you have detected that the person recorded as head of household is no longer in that role as they are no longer a member of the household. In this situation you will have to find out who is the new head of household and redefine the relationship with the rest of the members in relation to them.

Note that if it is another member, the relationship does not change.

If an informant refuses to recognize another person as the head of household replacing the one who left, tell them that for the questionnaire there cannot be households without a head, so

[p.135]

it is very important to again identify another person as the head. Accordingly, you will have to update the relationship as many times as you detect that a head is no longer a member of the household.

Don't forget that the head of household can be a man or a woman, and may or may not be the person who supports the household financially, and may even be a person who has recently become a member of the household. If necessary, help define it. Respect the informant's response.

Instructions:

[p.136]

Example:

[p.137]

Once you have identified the person who will assume the role of new head, write the word "head" in the relationship column and on the corresponding line, and define the relationship with the rest of the members of the household in relation to them. This is how the relationship and other data would look in this situation:

[Omitted table]

Note that the relationship of the people who are part of the household changed and that of Orlando remains the same, but canceled.

[p.140]

Question 9a
The update of this information is valuable, as it allows you to in turn update the information in two universes: that of the population of 5 and that of 12 years of age or older. In the case of the former, it allows you to inquire whether they know how to read and write; in the latter, whether they have given birth to live children (in the case of women) and their marital status, in the case of men and women; it also allows you to identify the population aged 12 years or older, to which the OEQ will be applied.

7. Occupation and employment questionnaire
The following section provides the specific instructions for filling out the Occupation and Employment Questionnaire (OEQ). First, it is worth stating that the survey has two versions of this questionnaire: basic and extended. The basic version is made up of nine sets of questions, while the extended version is made up of a total of eleven sets of questions. Both versions of the OEQ have essentially the same questions, in fact the basic version is derived from the extended one. The only difference between them is the number of questions.

The extended version is only filled out during the first trimester of each year and the basic version the remaining trimesters. When applying the basic version, it is used to fill out what the INEGI has called special modules. The modules are questionnaires applied to a sub-sample of one survey in particular; the modules delve more deeply into a specific subject. In the case of the ENOE, for example, we have been able to gain insight into subjects such as employment and social security; education; training and employment; child labor; availability and use of information technologies in the households; among others.

The number of sets of questions and types of questions included in each subject varies based on the person's occupational category, but something that is consistent among all of them, is the fact that the information requested focuses on what happened during the reference period (week prior to the interview). With this information, we seek to take a "photograph" of the economic activity conditions of the population.

7.2 General considerations
Before addressing the criteria and specific instructions for filling out the Occupational and Employment Questionnaire (OEQ), you should understand the main groups into which the information compiled in this questionnaire is classified. The next summary table shows these classifications:
[Omitted figure]

When obtaining information about the population's economic activities, the survey, for statistical purposes, takes 12 years of age as a minimum, but does not establish a maximum age, as shown in the chart above. Starting with this universe, a basic partition is established, which consists of distinguishing the economically active population from the non-economically active population. The following tables show this distinction more clearly:

[p.153]

Employed population. Refers to people who state that during the week they perform some type of economic activity or have a job. The employed population covers two situations:

Unemployed population. People who, while not employed during the reference week, actively sought to join some economic activity in the period of the last month through the date of the interview. This population is divided into:

Non-Economically Active Population, available to work. People who did not work during the reference week, or have a job, or actively seek one, as they thought they did not have an opportunity to find one, but are interested in working. This population may or may not have work experience.

Non-Economically Active Population, not available to work. People who did not work during the reference week, or have a job, or actively seek one, and had no need or interest in working. This population may have work experience or not.

[p.154]

Before continuing, it is worth establishing a clear distinction between what should be understood as economic activity in order to be able to easily identify the individuals who, during the reference period, performed economic activities or non-economic activities.

A person is considered to perform an economic activity only if the activity they perform generates added value and if it contributes to the supply of goods and services, whether public or private, legal or illegal.

In general terms, an economic activity is defined as the set of actions and resources employed by economic units to produce goods and services, whether legal or not, which are exchanged (which implies consent between the parties involved in the transaction) for money or other goods and services.

Service. Characterized by a change in the physical condition of a person, or of goods belonging to an economic entity, as a result of the activity of any other economic entity, with the approval of the first person or economic entity.

The service is the result of one or more man's activities that translate into a good that has no material expression. Services are characterized by being consumed on site, cannot be stored, transported or transferred, and often, are invisible.

Includes the production of corn and/or beans exclusively for one's own consumption, and the combination of this type of production with raising and exploitation of backyard animals, for the same purpose.

Raising backyard animals for the purposes of self-consumption of one's own household is not considered an economic activity.

[p.155]

Economic unit. Entity (institution, company, business or person) dedicated to the production of goods, purchase and sale of merchandise or provision of public and private services.

Non-economic activity. Actions taken to maintain the daily operation of the household and even a community, which involve a series of tasks necessary for the reproduction of the operating conditions of the society, but that are not performed within a framework of transaction between parties.

Disguised begging activities (cleaning windshields, performing on trucks, "swallowing fire", in exchange for a tip) are placed in the context of non-economic activities because, fairly, they are not provided in the framework of supply and demand, that is, a context of negotiation among those offering their service and those who could request them. It is a mere unilateral economic transfer via tips.

The distinction between economic and non-economic activities is explained further below.

Other key concepts are:

Filling out the inside of the questionnaire.
This part of the manual was structured as follows: at the beginning of each set of questions, the purpose(s) of the set are indicated in broad terms; then, when addressing the specific instructions by question, the image of the question is presented and on one side, a text that states the universe to which the question applies and its purpose; then, a concept (in italics) and the respective definition may appear (only in those cases in which it is considered appropriate to designate its meaning).

There is also a section called conceptual clarifications, through which a series of clarifications are made that will serve as support to understand the purpose and scope of the questions or response options; next there is a section called instructions that contains the instructions for filling out accompanied, in most cases, by examples.

[p.156]

7.3 Set of questions I. Employment status
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.

Conceptual clarifications
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.

Examples:

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.
The following table includes examples of the types of activities considered economic and non-economic, and the pertinent explanation:

Throughout the manual, some of the activities listed will be addressed again to delve further into the criteria to follow to obtain the information.

Instructions:

Taking into consideration that the first three questions may seem repetitive to the informant, in exceptional cases, when they have already given you the information, don't ask them verbatim in order to avoid tiring them and risking the interview.

Question 1
This question is asked of members of the household aged 12 years or older to identify those who performed an economic activity during the reference week.
[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
A person should be considered to have worked in the reference week only if the person dedicated at least one hour, during that period, to performing an economic activity.

Instructions:
- Reference period. When asking the question, emphasize the text related to the reference week and the minimum time spent (one hour), this is

[p.162]

extremely important because it places the interviewee in the key conditions to define their employment status.
- Consider a person to have worked during the reference period if they state that they went to work at any or all the jobs they have, if they have more than one. Regardless of whether or not they worked in what is considered their main job. Remember that the purpose of this question is to know only if the person worked or not.

Example:

- Trade workers (carpenters, locksmiths, stylists, launderers, barbers and hairdressers, plumbers) and professionals. Consider a person to have worked in the reference period as long as they have an establishment to which they went with the intention of working, even if they did not have any clients.

Examples:

Examples:

[p.163]

In this situation, go to the next question to determine their status as unemployed or inactive, as applicable.

Additionally, in the case of independent workers, in order to determine whether or not they worked during the reference week, consider the following:

1. They did work if they state they were engaged in performing supplemental or maintenance activities for the optimal development of their economic unit.

Examples:

2. They did not work if they state that their economic unit did not operate during this period and if it did, they remained apart from performing activities related to its operation.

This question is asked to people who stated they did not work in the reference week, in order to verify that they effectively did not do so and to identify those who did perform a job, but did not considered it as such.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
This question is used to assess cases of those people whose work within the economic unit is not considered even by themselves as productive as they did not receive economic compensation in cash or in kind, even though their participation guarantees its performance. Family workers (the wife and children) are found in this situation, as well as non-family members and trainees.

Payment in kind. Economic compensation through products that can be sold (market exchange) and which are received by some workers as the only form or supplemental form of work.

[p.205]

[Omitted box]

Note of caution. This note is to remind you that you must keep in mind according to the survey guidelines, that not every activity performed for the purpose of obtaining income is considered economic, and guaranty that the information you obtain from this battery of questions is related to an economic activity. If you have questions about whether an activity is or is not economic, ask additional questions, for example:

If the description of the occupation corresponds to any of the activities mentioned in the note or those listed as non-economic activities, return to battery of questions number 1 and follow the not employed sequence. If despite this, you continue to have concerns about whether or not you should consider it an economic activity, obtain the information.

Question 3a
This question is asked to employed persons, to differentiate them as subordinate or independent, based on their position in the occupation.

Position in the occupation (job position). The classification of the employed population based on their relationship with the means of production, and with the ownership of the goods and services generated in the performance of the job.

[Omitted figures]

[p.206]

Conceptual clarifications:
In general terms, there are two types of workers: subordinate and independent.

[p.207]

The following table shows the main characteristics that distinguish both types of workers.

Independent workers

There are two characteristics that distinguish them:

Having autonomy, independent workers determines:

By assuming economic risk, it can be said that:

Examples of independent workers:

Subordinate workers

Examples:

[p.208]

It is very important that while obtaining the information, you respect the spontaneous response of the interviewee when stating whether they are an independent or subordinate worker. Only if you have questions in determining the position in the occupation, define it by applying the criteria for autonomy in the processes of work and economic risk, always in this order.

Below are some examples in which an additional explanation may be necessary:

[p.209]

Consider them subordinates if they only provide their labor.

If questions arise in this regard, ask additional questions:

Based on the responses, determine the position in the occupation.

[p.210]

Question 3b
This question is asked to employed persons who in the previous question said they did not have a boss, employer or superior at their job, in order to verify whether they are independent workers or subordinate managers.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:

[p.211]

- Sequence to follow. If you circle option 1, continue with question 3c; if you circle option 2, go to question 3h.

Question 3c
This question is asked to independent workers to identify the level of autonomy of their economic unit.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:
1. To a single company, business or dealer

Note that workers classified in this option lack or have minimal autonomy to decide the destination, quality of the goods and services they generate, because the raw materials with which they operate is not their own or is already committed.

[p.212]

Examples:

The livestock farmer who has committed to selling all of their production (live hogs) to one cured meat factory.

2. To several companies, businesses or dealers

Examples:

3. Directly to the public

Examples:

4. It is a self-consumption agriculture-livestock operation

Exclude agricultural production activities of products

[p.213]

other than corn or beans, and raising animals for commercial or self-consumption purposes.
Also exclude those who state they grow corn and/or beans for both self-consumption and for sale, as in this case the commercial activity takes precedence, in which case you should circle option 1, 2 or 3, as applicable.

Question 3d
This question is asked to independent workers, to find out whether they employ workers, with or without pay.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:

Partners. People who, in association with other(s), has a company or business in which they participate not only with capital, but also with work in its operation.

In this case, regardless of whether or not the economic unit is incorporated as an individual or legal entity, in both cases the partners are considered employees of the partner who is being interviewed.

Individual. A person with the capacity to contract obligations, from a fiscal perspective, in the operation of an economic activity, and exercise rights.

[p.214]

Legal entity. A group of people who join with a specific purpose, for example, a corporation, a non-profit organization.

Question 3e
This question is asked to independent workers to identify whether they are owners of a single type of business or various with different lines of business.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:

[p.215]

An auxiliary unit is an establishment that has an independent physical location, where only activities are conducted in support of other establishment(s) with which it shares its business name. It does not, therefore, provide services to third parties, that is, it does not have the authority to provide services to the public, make sales, produce or manufacture products. The purpose of its services is to facilitate the main activity of the entire company to which it belongs; therefore, when obtaining the information, you must identify the main activity to which the entire company is dedicated, not that of the auxiliary establishment.

An auxiliary unit is an establishment that has an independent physical location, where activities are conducted only in support of another or other establishments with which it shares its business name. It does not, therefore, provide services to third parties, that is, it does not have the authority to provide services to the public, make sales, produce or manufacture products. The purpose of its services is to facilitate the main activity of the entire company to which it belongs; therefore, when obtaining the information, you must identify the main activity to which the entire company is dedicated, not that of the auxiliary establishment.

Examples of auxiliary units:

In conclusion, the distinction between productive and auxiliary establishments is extremely important, considering that the purpose of the survey, and this question in particular, is to identify the main activity to which the productive units are engaged, if they perform more than one, not those performed by the auxiliary establishments. Battery of questions 4 examines this distinction in more detail.

It is important to say that not all economic units for which the employed population works have formal facilities like those listed above. There are others made of rustic materials: floor-anchored sheet metal stands, or stands that are installed in one place during the workday and taken down at the end of the day, as in the case of an assembled stand, motorized vehicles or not (for example, a hand cart on which prepared fruit is sold to the general public, and whose normal center of operations is the corner of a park).

[p.216]

Thus, a company or business in one or more establishments may be dedicated to:

In situations like those described in the second bullet point, you must read the note of caution in option 2 to identify which is the main business:

[Omitted figure]

The informant should define the principal business, based on their own assessment. If they respond that they don't know which to choose as the principal, help them by telling them to consider, first, which has the support, regularly, of the larger number of workers.

When you reach this question you will be in a position to verify whether business activity defined as principal is consistent with the name of the occupation recorded in question 3; otherwise, ask additional questions to guaranty that the information obtained and which you must continue recording as principal until battery of questions 6, will refer precisely to the occupation you entered as principal.

[p.216]

Instructions:
1. A single type of business or activity

Examples:

Vertical integration refers to a single company undertaking all productive processes necessary to generate its goods or services: production, transportation or distribution and sales. In said productive process, the product that results from one of the phases serves, in turn, as the supply of another process, until one or more products are obtained, as a result of the process as a whole.

Examples:

Examples:

[p.218]

2. Several types of businesses (with different locations)

To check this option, it is mandatory that the following two requirements are met: engaged in more than one line of business and each of the lines is conducted at a different location.

Examples:

The underlines in the preceding examples indicate that these activities were defined as the principal ones, in which case the sequence the interviewer should follow should focus on these when obtaining the information for the remaining questions through battery 6.

Question 3f
This question is asked to independent workers who employ people, in order to find out in how many establishments or fixed addresses they operate their economic unit when conducting their main business or activity.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
As you can see, practically all of battery of questions 3 focuses on identifying the work conditions of the interviewee, with the exception of this question in particular and 3q, which seek to properly characterize the economic unit, identifying whether they have stands or establishments to conduct their economic

[p.219]

activity and identifying the size of the establishment based on the number of workers who work in the establishment in which the interviewee is working.

On the other hand, it is important to state that this question does not intend, strictly speaking, to learn the physical characteristics or equipment found in the establishments, it only seeks to identify in which establishments, addresses or fixed locations an economic unit operates in the performance of its principal activity. The count should include auxiliary establishments, speaking of those economic units that are formally established, if counting this type of establishment.

Exceptionally, in the case of economic units that require the use of vehicular units to perform the economic activity, these are counted only if they are used to conduct the principal activity: transportation, sale or service, regardless of whether or not the vehicles are moved from one place to another. This case is explained in further detail below.

Exclude economic units:

[p.220]

Consider cases like the following to be an establishment:

[p.221]

[p.222]

[p.223]

[Omitted figures]

Exclude from the count those vehicles that are only used as internal support for the economic unit to conduct its main activity.

Examples:

Examples:

The following table illustrates, more concretely, the cases in which the vehicles should be counted, and when they should not.

[Omitted table]

[p.225]

It is important to emphasize that the same line or type of business could be comprised of various establishments.

Example:

The following images illustrate in which cases an economic unit is considered to be performed in a private home, based on whether or not it is an establishment.

[p.226]

In this image, the economic unit (seamstress) does not have a site, as the access to the economic unit is the same as that of the home.

[Omitted figures]

[p.27]

Count as partners only those workers who meet the preceding conditions; if they only contribute capital, do not count them as such.

Respect the informant's response if they report the presence of a partner among the members of their household; for example, a married couple who run their grocery business, a farmer and his children, a carpenter who along with his wife and children are engaged in making furniture.

7.6 Battery IV. Characteristics of the economic unit
The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify some important characteristics of the economic units, taking as a starting point the establishment in which the people who are employed perform their main job. Some of these characteristics are: name, proprietary sector, type of activity to which it is dedicated, the way in which it operates (whether or not it is registered under the Law of Corporations, in the case of private companies and businesses, or the way in which the public administration of this country operates), availability of premises and accounting records, as well as the geographic level in which it performs, in the case of private companies and businesses.

Question 4
This question is asked to employed persons, in order to find out if the economic unit for which they work has a name.
[Omitted figure]

Name of the economic unit. The trade name, business name or name with which a company, institution or business advertises itself.

[p.249]

Conceptual clarifications:
The name of the economic unit may refer to the name of the owner of the business or company, it may appear in visible locations, such as facades or lighted signs or may not appear as such, but allows the business to be recognized in the community. Furthermore, an economic unit may or may not be registered with any government agency.

The mere availability of a professional license, plates or the concession, (as occurs in the case of professionals and taxi drivers, respectively) does not constitute a name for the ENOE. Belonging to a group or coalition of taxi drivers, on the other hand, does constitute a name.

Instructions:
Identification of common name:

Identification of main activity. The economic units for which the employed population works may be operating in an establishment or a

[p.250]

set of establishments, in improvised facilities when there is no site or ambulatory, visiting clients or in a private home.

When the economic units operate in a single address or are ambulatory, it is generally easy to identify the main activity to which they are dedicated because they perform the activities of a single economic sector, but that may not be so in the case of those that operate under the same business name in more than one establishment (address), where in each of them, activities may be conducted related to one or more economic sectors, such that they are comprised of branches or auxiliary establishments.

As mentioned in question 3e, identifying the main activity to which the economic unit is dedicated is very important, since the information will have to be recorded throughout battery of questions 4. The characteristics of an auxiliary unit are discussed again below, as a reference for you to identify the main one.

We know that an auxiliary establishment is characterized by:

Examples of establishments that perform support services for the establishments to which they belong: administrative offices, warehouses, shops, payment receiving offices, sales or procurement offices, parking lots exclusively for clients and employees, warranty repair and maintenance workshops, and, in general, those establishments that have contact with clients on behalf of the establishments with which they share a name or business name.

As an example, below are listed the ways of identifying whether the establishment where a person works performs main or support activities:

[p.251]

[Omitted table]

Footnote: Classifying the activity throughout the battery of questions means that once the main activity that the company or establishment for which the interviewee works is identified, all data compiled from question 4 and until the end of its sequence in this battery will be aimed at characterizing said activity.

Question 4a
This question is asked to employed persons to know the economic activities performed in the economic units for which they work in their main job, in order to classify them by economic activity sector.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
Economic activity. The set of actions performed by an economic unit for the fundamental purpose of producing marketable good and services in the market to generate monetary or in-kind income.
Economic activity sector. Classification of the economic activities, according to the type of good or service the economic units generate.

Instructions:

Question 4b

[Omitted figure]

[p.267]

1. Is an agricultural activity

2. Is an educational institution or a hospital

[p.268]

2. Is an educational institution or a hospital
Exclude from this option:

The second level medical units are characterized by having hospitalization areas, most of them with 24-hour emergency departments; those that are third level by the degree of specialization, addressing complex illnesses that put people at risk of death, and because they conduct scientific research.

When classifying the information for third level medical units, prioritize the medical care services over the research activities. Also prioritize hospitalization care when a worker works in establishments that combine inpatient and outpatient medical care.

Examples:

Exclude from this option:

[p.269]

2. Is an educational institution or a hospital

3. Is a public institution or a non-profit organization

4. Is a private sector activity or business

[p.270]

4. Is a private sector activity or business

5. Still cannot be determined

Question 4c
This question is asked to employed persons who work for private economic units (with the exception of those in the agriculture/livestock, education and health sectors) and who were classified in option 4 or 5 in the last question, to find out in what type of economic unit they work.

[Omitted figure]

[p.271]

Conceptual clarifications:
While it is true that from a literal reading of options 1 and 2, a spontaneous response is expected from the interviewee, without questioning it, it is important that you know the characteristics of the type of economic units considered in each response option, but first it is important to state that:

For tax purposes, a person may perform their economic activities as an individual or as a legal entity, as the laws establish different treatment for each, and this determines the form and requirements for enrollment in the Federal Taxpayers Registry (RFC) and the obligations acquired.

Individual is a person with the capacity to enter into obligations and rights.

Legal entity is a group of people who join with a specific purpose, for example, a corporation, a non-profit organization.

The registration of an economic unit with the RFC indicates the types of rights and obligations to which they are subject, as well as the conformation of the capital stock or their equity. In the case of companies or businesses registered under the scope of the law of corporations, it is the organization, and not the members, that faces the legal or commercial actions the company may assume at any given moment.

In exchange, independent, personal and family economic units are cataloged as individual (companies or businesses must respond personally and directly for the rights and obligations that give rise to legal or commercial actions of their economic unit, and whose capital is private). In other words, these are formal and informal businesses not incorporated as a company.

Based on the foregoing, it is important that you know that option number one groups economic units under the individual system, the second legal entities and the third includes economic units that are not placed under the modality of private businesses to channel them to a sequence for institutions.

[Omitted figure]

[p.272]

Instructions:

1. Independent, personal or family

As is evident, in this type of business method, the establishments adopt the same trade name, but have a different proprietary economic unit, which, when registered, requires the payment of a royalty in favor of the franchise owner.

Concession. Legal and administrative act under which a company grants to another the right of use, consumption and exploitation of an establishment for the production or distribution of goods or, as applicable, the provision of a service subject to the pre-established provisions of a commercial contract.

In this case you can see that it adopts its own trade name, which is exploited by a different proprietary economic unit to take advantage of a business or activity, for which it must make a payment and guaranty the quality of specific services.

2. A private sector company or business

Corporation (legal entity). Entity that is predominantly economic and whose capital is private, created by law and made up of partners who are obligated to combine their resources or efforts to fulfill a common good.

[p.273]

2. A private sector company or business

Franchise. Business system based on the right to use a trade name and technical, administrative and operative advice to properly operate the business. That is, one of the parties grants the other the license to use its trade name, as well as its knowledge and experience (know-how), to effectively and consistently operate a business, in order to guaranty homogeneity in the quality and characteristics of the services or goods administered.

Concession. Understood as the legal and administrative act under which a company grants to another the right of use, consumption and exploitation of an establishment for the production or distribution of goods or, as applicable, the provision of a service subject to the pre-established provisions of a commercial contract.

In this case you can see that it adopts its own trade name, which is exploited by a different proprietary economic unit to take advantage of a business or activity, for which it must make a payment and guaranty the quality of specific services.

3. None of the above

[p.274]

Question 4d
This question is asked to those who work for government institutions (including parastatal institutions), autonomous and non-governmental organizations, to learn specifically the institutional sector to which they belong.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
In order to answer the requirements of the National Accounts System (SCN), this question groups economic units in two columns: legal-administrative, defined based on the way in which the political constitution of our country classifies institutions, and the second, based on the functional economic plan, that is, based on the way in which the institutions obtain their resources, the way in which they are administered and on whom they depend.

1. Legal-administrative level. Under this focus the economic units are divided into three powers: legislative, executive and judicial. Below, the institutions that make up each power are specified in graph form.

Judicial Power (federal and state). In charge of overseeing compliance with the Constitution and laws derived from it. This power is represented by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, the Electoral Court, the collegiate and unitary circuit courts, district courts and the Federal Judiciary Council.

[Omitted figure]

[p.275]

Legislative Power (federal and state). Its main function consists of drafting laws, discussing the country's problems (or of the state, as applicable) and overseeing the actions of the other powers. This power is expressed through the Congress of the Union, represented by the Chambers of Representatives and Senators, and by the Legislative Assembly, in the case of the Federal District.

[Omitted figure]

Executive Power (federal, state and municipal). Its main function consists of promulgating and enforcing the laws issued by the Congress of the Union, directing relations with other countries, freely appointing and removing office secretaries and other employees of the Union (whose appointment and removal are not determined in any other way in the constitution and in the laws), etc. The executive power of the President of the Republic is repeated, in some way, at the level of the following two political-administrative units: state and municipal.

[Omitted figure]

[p.276]

2. Functional economic level. Under this perspective the economic units are divided, first, according to the proprietary sector, into public or private. Within the public sector the following are distinguished:

Finally, institutions that do not receive resources and are not administered by the government, that is, private sector institutions, are also grouped in this level.

The following graph shows the classification indicated:

[Omitted figure]

[p.277]

Institutions administered by the government This classification groups the federal, state and municipal governments, schools, hospitals, production and service companies, and financial organizations.

The general government, that is, the offices and departments of the federal, state and municipal governments dedicated to administration of the nation's resources and assets, both directly and through the regulation and legislation of the economic, social and political practices, as well as the chambers of legislators and the armed forces. These units are characterized by not working for profit and not generating income. The form of financing of this sector is through taxes, fees, duties and recovery administered and distributed among the government agencies through assigned budgets.

The government may assign resources to different institutions and companies that provide services. In some of the companies or institutions, the government only participates by providing financial resources, but in others it has the authority to intervene in their management, both of the resources and of the company's organization.

Parastatal company. These are institutions in which the federal, state or local government holds more than 50 percent of the capital stock and there is a percentage of private capital to perform the activities of producing goods, marketing merchandise or providing services. One of their characteristics is that they obtain revenues for the goods or services made or provided.

Institutions with autonomy of organic and administrative management. In general terms it groups three types of economic units: autonomous bodies, non-profit institutions and political parties.

Autonomous bodies. This type of institution is characterized by having a legal status and its own equity, technical and budgetary autonomy. While its holders are required to provide records to other levels of government, they are not appointed directly (or unilaterally) by any of the three powers, nor are they administered through their officials.

Non-profit institutions. This type of institution is characterized by being dedicated to fulfilling a common social purpose or for the collective benefit. It includes organizations such as churches, schools, public charitable institutions, clinics and hospitals, legal aid societies, political organizations, professional associations, volunteer service institutions, museums, research institutions. See annex 1.

To classify the information by institutional sectors, according to the requirements of the National Accounts System, the information recorded in the preceding questions (4, 4a and 4b) must be analyzed together; as there is not always consistency between the classification of the information entered in question 4 and that in 4d, as each one has a different purpose.

[p.278]

Structure of the question
Question 4d is divided into two sections, identified with the digits 1 and 2: a government institution and an institution not administered by the government, respectively; and code 9 to classify ambiguous responses in which all that is known is that it is an institution of public interest.

The first section is separated into 8 response options to group the institutions that are financed and administered by the government.

[Omitted figure]

The second section includes, according to the type of main activity to which it is dedicated, in general terms, five types of institutions: private sector educational and hospitals; upper level education institutions and institutions dedicated to various activities, but which are financed by the government even when they have autonomy in their organic operation and in relation to decision making; non-profit civil institutions; international organizations and political parties.

[Omitted figure]

Instructions:
Priority criteria
Taking into consideration that there are departments that perform more than one function, it was decided to define priority criteria when classifying the information:

[p.280]

Based on the rules of priority, as an example, this is how ISSSTE establishments should be classified:
[Omitted table]

Below are the specific instructions by sub-option:

[p.281]

A government institution
1. Judicial power or legislative power
Institutions of any of the powers cited below regardless of the level of government to which they belong:

It is important to clarify that the judicial police are not part of the Judicial Power, but rather of the Executive Power, as it is dependent on the latter; therefore, it should be classified in sub-option 1.4. or 1.5, based on the level of government to which the information refers.

2. Public or parastatal company

When classifying this type of economic units, give priority to the fact that they are companies dedicated to the production of goods and services for the market over the level of government to which it belongs: federal, state or municipal, or a combination of any of these.

Examples:

3. Schools, hospitals, clinics and welfare services administered by the government

Question 4e
This question is asked to employed persons who work for independent economic units, to find out whether or not they have an establishment to perform their activities, and if so, to find out what type it is.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
As opposed to question 3f, in this question the concept of establishment has a more restricted meaning; it refers to a type of building, that is, to a fixed and permanent construction, covered by walls and roof, for example, warehouse, premises, office, hotel, industrial plant; or a construction with the characteristics described, but without a roof, as in the case of concrete slab (stones) located inside the markets where fresh foods are sold, mainly.

Exclude facilities, such as fixed, semi-fixed or improvised stands, private homes, spaces delimited by fences of any material (chain-link fences, wood).

If an economic unit performs its activities in an establishment, consider it to have one only if it meets the following conditions:

Examples:

[p.289]

Instructions:

1. Has an establishment and office

Office. Delimited space in which exclusively desk (administrative) work is performed.

2. Only has an office or firm

Firm. Delimited space in which professional services are provided.

3. Only has a premises

Premises. Enclosed site or place that is part of a building, in which commercial, industrial or personal services are provided.

Economic units that have concrete slabs, commonly known as "stones" that are often found inside markets or wholesale produce markets, on which the tenants exhibit their products.

4. Has no premises, office or establishment

[p.290]

Question 4f
This question is asked to employed persons who work for an independent business or activity, whether personal or family that do not have an establishment, premises or office, in order to find out the place where the economic unit conducts its activities.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:

It is important to keep in mind that this question is focused on identifying the place where the economic unit operates, not the place where the interviewee works. It is worth stating that the place where both the economic unit and the interviewee work may be the same.

The units classified here are characterized, mainly, by their lack of a typical premises or establishment located in a permanent location, built with constructions or fixed facilities.

Consequently, they operate on public roads on foot or installed in public spaces, using lightweight facilities so that can be moved from place to place, or at their own home.

As there is no establishment or premises, the purpose of this question is to identify only whether they have any type of minimum facilities as a work tool, regardless of the public location where the economic activity is performed or if they have none. In this way, for example, a merchant may be dedicated to selling candies in the subway (that is, walking from one side to the other) carrying a container in their hands in which they bring their merchandise, or having a table installed outside of their house, or having a semi-fixed stand in a park.

In addition to the foregoing, in order to classify the information in this question, consider the main activity to which the economic unit is dedicated, so you should keep in mind the information entered in question 4a. If a combination of activities appears there, when classifying prioritize one of these according to the following criteria:

[p.291]

1. Extraction or collection activities, along with production. If an economic unit is dedicated, in addition to extracting and collecting, to manufacturing some product, identify where the production activity takes place.

Examples:
[Omitted table]

2. Manufacturing activities. If the information indicates that an economic unit is dedicated to preparing and selling some product (except foods), circle the option according to the place where it is prepared.

Examples:
[Omitted table]

Examples:

[p.292]

[Omitted table]

4. Food preparation and/or service activities. If an economic unit is dedicated to selling foods and beverages, ask if they are sold to the end consumer or to an intermediary. If they are for the end consumer, that is, directly to the public, circle the option that indicates the place where they are sold: on foot, in an improvised stand, private home with or without special facilities, semi-fixed stand. If they are sold to intermediaries, who in turn resell them, identify the place where they are prepared.

Consider an economic unit to operate on a vehicle (motorized or not, fixed or moving), only if the main activity is carried out on the vehicular unit: transporting cargo or people, marketing or providing personal services (sale of food, for example).

Do not consider the vehicle the place where the main activity is carried out if it serves only as an instrument of support for the performance of the substantive activity of the economic unit: transporting the raw materials used in a productive process, distributing the merchandise of a company dedicated to agricultural/livestock activities, marketing, extraction or manufacturing.

In the case of shaved ice, ice pops and freeze pops, or fermented beverages such as pulque, tejuino, tepache and foods such as candies, lollipops, pork rinds, tortilla products, bakery and dairy products (cheese, yogurt), circle, as an exceptional case, the option that indicates where they are prepared, not where they are sold.

Examples:

[p.293]

[Omitted table]

5. Marketing activities. When an economic unit is dedicated only to marketing (purchase-sale) activities, identify the place where the economic transaction takes place: from house to house or in the street, in an improvised stand, in a vehicle (with or without a motor), in their own home (with or without special facilities), in a semi-fixed stand.

Identify the type of vehicle an economic unit has to conduct its commercial activity, only if said activity is conducted on the vehicle. Do not consider it if the vehicular unit is only used as a means to transport the merchandise.

Examples:
[Omitted table]

6. Independent vendors of catalog products. In this case, circle the option according to the informant's response: option 08 in the home or property of the employer or in the location requested by the clients or 02 on foot house to house or in the street.

[p.294]

Examples:
[Omitted table]

7. Economic activities on foot. If an economic unit is dedicated to marketing or providing services on the public roads and has a vehicle to conduct its activities, give priority to the fact that it has a vehicle (with or without a motor) to conduct its economic activity, but only when the main activity is carried out on the vehicle; if it only serves as support, assign code 02.
[Omitted table]

8. Order of the options. It is important to note that the order of the options has a basic purpose: to identify the level of insecurity under which the economic units that lack an establishment operate. This level, in general terms, is greater in the first options and lower in the later ones. So, an economic unit is classified based on the type of resources it has, determined by the type of facilities or the place where its activities are conducted.

[p.295]

Examples:
Fishermen can be classified as follows:

Instructions:

01. In the field, open air, dam, pool, sea.

[p.296]

This question is asked to employed persons who work for private sector economic units, incorporated as corporations or independent companies (personal or family) that have an establishment and office, to identify the geographic coverage of the operation of said economic units.

[p.306]

Conceptual clarifications:

Remember that the basic difference between a concession and a franchise lies in the freedom or limits each modality establishes to produce a good or provide service. The concession offers greater operational freedom, compared with the franchise; in the latter, the franchisee must follow the operating and organizational guidelines established by the franchise owner to the letter.

Instructions:

1. In other countries

Instructions:

[p.309]

- Sequence to follow. Regardless of the option you circle, continue with question 5a.

Question 5a
This question is asked to employed persons to learn their perception about whether during the reference week their work pace in the economic unit for which they work in their main job decreased.

[Omitted figure]

[p.310]

Decreased work pace. Reduction in the intensity from what an employed person had been working during the reference week, even when the duration of the work schedule in itself remained unchanged.

Conceptual clarifications:
The decreased pace of work may be due to factors directly related to or outside of the employed person, based on whether they are subordinate or independent workers, such as a lack of clients or raw materials, machinery breakdown, reduced production, end of the agricultural cycle, fewer assigned tasks at work, etc. If you notice that the informant did not understand the purpose of the question, read the text between parentheses.

It is very important to emphasize that the fundamental purpose of this question is to learn the personal perception the interviewees themselves have about the intensity with which they worked during the reference week in relation to the tasks they regularly perform, even when the schedule or work shift has remained the same.

Instructions:

[p.311]

Question 5b
This question is asked to employed persons who had long periods of waiting or inactivity at their job, in order to find out if they are concerned about this situation.

[Omitted figure]

Conceptual clarifications:
Working the whole year at their main job means that a person maintains their employment connection with a specific economic unit throughout this period, although they stopped working on more than one occasion for vacations, leave, health problems.

Instructions:

[p.319]

In the case of independent workers, as they are the economic unit, they can be considered to have worked the whole year if they performed the same occupation throughout that period; if they performed more than one occupation or trade throughout the year, consider them to have only had one job (the one performed during the reference week).

[Omitted figure]

Suppose that in the preceding example, the interviewee spent time working in masonry (main job), so in this case you would have to circle the respective options: December, February and July.

7.9 Battery VII. Secondary job
The purpose of this battery of questions is to identify the population that has a second job, to be characterized based on the occupation or trade performed and the type of economic unit for which they work, the activities to which they are dedicated, the type of medical care they have, the size of the economic unit, the number of days and hours worked the week before the interview and the approximate amount of their income.

Question 7
This question is asked to employed persons to find out if they performed or had a second job during the reference period, in order to characterize it throughout this battery of questions.

[Omitted figure]

[p.334]

Conceptual clarifications:

In general terms, in order to determine whether a person performed or had a second occupation during the reference period, take into consideration the same criteria considered in battery of questions 1 to define whether or not a person was employed, that is: if they went to a job the week before the interview or if during this period they were absent from their job, but received economic income or even if they returned to work the week the survey is conducted.

Like in the main job, it is the informant who defines what their secondary job is, if they have more than two, and you may only help them if they have questions defining it, taking as a reference the same criteria listed in question 3, to define the main job: to which the most time is dedicated, which earns the most income, which have they worked the longest, which has the best welfare benefits.

Instructions:

In the case of teachers, respect the spontaneous response if they say they have two jobs. Consider them to have a single job if they state they work on two or more school buildings, or on the same school building, but in different shifts with the idea of supplementing the work schedule, receiving a single salary.

If the information indicates that they perform two jobs: teacher and director or teacher and prefect (hall monitor), or any other combination, ask if they receive an income for each position; if the response is yes, consider them to have another job apart from the main one; otherwise, do not.

[p.335]

Note that the concept of establishment is the same as the one in question 3f, such that if a worker is dedicated to two or more occupations and two or more activities, and they are even performed in two improvised, fixed or semi-fixed stands, located at different addresses, they are considered to meet the defined requirement, and even if one of the jobs has an establishment and the other does not.

In the case of independent workers who are engaged in various trades ("jack-of-all-trades"), like plumbing, gas fitting, painting facades, during the reference week in the home of their clients, do not consider them to have a second occupation, they have, in any case, different clients.

[p.340]

Before stating the criteria to follow to classify the information in each response option, it is worth noting that the detail of the options includes the position within the occupation, such that the first four are aimed at independent workers and the rest to subordinate workers; however, it is worth further explaining that the fourth option is common for both independent and subordinate workers.

The specific instructions to classify the information are listed below, option by option.

7.11 Battery IX. Work history
This battery of questions focuses on inquiring about the characteristics of the last job that was lost or left in the interviewed population, such as: context in which this situation occurred and the time frame (if it occurred during the current year or in prior years), the cause, type of occupation that was performed, the type of activities to which the economic unit for which the person worked was dedicated, the type of employment benefits, income received and current availability of economic income derived from that lost employment relationship, in order to assess the quality of that job in relation to the most recent one.

This battery of questions distinguishes three types of sequences; two of them are aimed at subordinate workers, with a view toward identifying those who lost their job due to difficulties centered more on employment conditions of the market and by their own decision, respectively; and the third sequence identifies the main reasons why independent workers left or lost their business or activity.

Question 9
This question is asked to the employed population to identify those who, at some point in their working life, were left unemployed.

Found themselves unemployed. This concept applies to independent and subordinate workers, who at some point in their working life had to break the employment connection, either voluntarily or involuntarily, with an economic unit.

The termination of the employment relationship could have occurred in the main job or in the secondary, if the person had more than one job. It is important to note that if the interviewee reports having broken their employment connection with more than one economic unit throughout their working life, you should identify the most recent.

The concept excludes those who work seasonally for an economic unit, because that means they only suspended their activities with that economic unit for a time. They do not permanently terminate their employment relationship with that economic unit.
