The criteria for collecting economic data about the population are:
The population's economic characteristics being researched in the census are the type of activity, the principal occupation, the branch of economic activity, and the occupational category or job position (see Appendix).
43. Occupational category
The occupational categories are defined as follows:
The question about occupational category is closed-ended and allows only one answer.
(12 years and over)
12. During the past 30 days did [the respondent] work for cash?
13. Then what did [the person] do during the last 30 days?
During the past 30 days did [the respondent] work for cash?
Enter the appropriate one-digit code in the shaded area:
If you enter 3 in column A12, you should go to A13 to find out what the person was doing during the past 30 days (since he/she was not working for cash).
In the sample questionnaire on page 26, James worked for someone else during the past 30 days and received cash, so he is coded 1 in column A12. Anne did not work for cash (although she did some farming on the lands), so she is coded 3. Since Mimi and Molelo are under 12 years old, the question does not apply to them, and dashes are entered in column A12 for them. Anthony did not work for cash (since he is a student), so he is coded 3. David was self-employed and is coded 2. Thembe did not work for cash either and is coded 3.
A24. What was [the person's] working as during the past 7 days?
113. Column A23: Employment status
Q: What was [the person's] work status during the past 7 days?
This column relates to persons who were either self-employed or working for other persons for payment during the 30 days before the census. Find out what they were employed as during most of the reference period and probe if necessary.
Enter the appropriate one-digit code in the shaded area:
If a person says he was doing "nothing" during the past 7 days, probe to find out what the person was really doing. It is very unlikely that the person was literally doing nothing.
If a person says he does housework, or that he is a student/retired/other, probe to find out whether he did any work for cash during the past 7 days, no matter how little the cash or how short the period. If yes, go back to A21and A22 to correct codes to reflect that they worked for pay or for no pay accordingly.
In the example since all eligible persons have never been married they are coded 1. Maungo is coded 01 in A21 as she was a paid worker, while it was admitted by the respondent in A22 that Mothus did agricultural activities at the lands or cattle post for no pay. Maungo was working as an employee who was paid in cash, Mothusi and Mmantsheledi worked at the lands for no pay. Mmantsheledi was at the same time looking for job, as such she is coded code 05, "Jobseeker" in A21 and code 04 in A22. The skip instruction for Mmantsheledi in A22 takes her to A26, so dashes for her row were used in A23, A24 and A25.
[Table showing economic activity to all persons aged 12 years and over is omitted here]

22. What was [the respondent] working as during the past 7 days?
145. Column A18-A25
These questions apply only to persons aged 12 and years and over. If the person is less than 12 years of age, then when you reach column A16 you should put dashes in the shaded areas for columns A16-A31 and proceed to the next listed person in the household.
151. Column A23: Employment status
Q. What was the respondent's working as during the past 7 days?
This question is meant to capture the employment status of an individual. The column relates to persons who were either self-employed or working for other persons for payment during the past 7 days before the census. Find out what they were employed as during most of the reference period and probe if necessary. Enter the appropriate two-digit code in the shaded area:
01. Employee-paid cash
This is a person who works and receives cash as payment. An employee who is paid in both cash and kind should fall under this category. For example, a maid who eats with the employer and at the same time is getting paid in cash.
02. Employee-paid in kind only
This is a person who works and receives non-monetary payment. You should note that employees who are paid in kind only fall under this category.
Self-Employed
Self-employed includes all types of persons working for themselves or in partnership in any type of business undertaking. This includes hawkers, car washers, carpenters, but they must get the income form the business themselves and not getting a wage or salary from a company owning the business. In some cases businesses are registered and the person who owns the business actually is an employee of the company (i.e. managing director). Because of this, this person is a paid employee, code 01 (employed by his/her own company).
03. Self-employed (no employees):
This is whereby the person is running his/her own business, like a taxi or a tuck shop, without the assistance of any employee. This category includes those gardeners and cleaners who are freelancing.
04. Self-employed (with employees):
A person operating a business of any form with the assistance of one or more employees would fall under this category. The employees could be paid in cash or in kind.
05. Unpaid family helpers:
A person working in an economic enterprise operated by a relative and not being paid in any form, would fall under this category. For example, a boy/girl could be helping in his/her aunt's business without any payment attached.
06. Working at family lands/farms/cattle-post:
This category includes farmers who plough mainly for household consumption (rather than to sell their products), and those individuals who worked at farms, lands, or cattle-posts, but who did not receive any payment. School children working on family lands/farms/cattle-posts while on vacation fall under this category.
07. Other (Specify):
If the person was doing something else other than the possibilities listed above then write in what the person was doing in the unshaded area in column A23. If you need more space, use the comment box.

Question 14: Occupational Category
The occupational category refers to the condition according to what the employed person did during the reference period, or did in the last occupation if they were unemployed. This question indicates if the person is or has been: salaried, worker on their own account, employer or family worker without wage.
[Below the text is a form.]
Ask the question in the following manner: Under what condition did you work in your principal occupation last week or during your last job? So that you are able to correctly write down the responses that they give you, you will have to be very clear with the following concepts:
2. Self Employed Worker: is considered as one who works (alone or with associates) without establishing a relationship of dependence with an employer and without hiring salaried personnel. They can, in some cases, have under their dependency one or many non remunerated workers (generally family members).
3. Owner/employer: is considered such as the owner or active member of a company that by carrying out their job hire one or more salaried workers.
4. Unpaid family worker: is considered as one who manages a job in relation with a member of the household of a farm, business, etc. of a family that resides in the household, and who does not receive payment (neither in money nor in kind).
Paying attention to the concepts related to this question that were expressed previously, you should be very sure of the occupational category of the interviewed person, before writing down the information in the box. Do not accept the fist response they give you, since it can be not correct. Overall in the case of independent workers (employers and own account).

Question 18: Occupational category
[Note: the Spanish version explicitly refers to both male and female grammatical endings in the sub-headings of this section.]
This question refers to the condition or relation of dependence under which the person carries out the principal occupation. This information is important for analyzing the forms of worker participation of the employed population.
Because of this it is necessary that you understand the following concepts:
[Below the text is a picture of an employer.]
2. Worker on their own account: is a person who works alone or with an associate in their own business, without establishing dependence with an employer and without hiring permanent salaried personnel. They can, in certain cases, have under their dependence one or more remunerated workers (generally family members) or salaried workers hired for short or occasional periods. The person defines the work conditions and fixes the value of the goods produced, or of the services rendered, or the price of merchandise sold.
[Below the text is a picture of a man digging a hole.]
[Below the text is a picture of three women sewing.]
[Below the text is a picture of a child not receiving money.]

About the main job
Question 28: Occupational category
28. In this job [name] is...?
The "occupational category" is that relationship of dependence in which a person completes his/her occupation. In order to correctly note this it is necessary to understand the following concepts:
Employer (has permanent employees): this is the owner or active partner in a business that as part of his/her job contracts one or more salaried workers in a permanent way.
Self-employed worker: this is the person that works alone or in association, without establishing dependence with a boss, that generally does not contract salaried personnel or only on occasion.
A person that works "on one's own" defines the conditions of the work and places value of the goods produced, of the services provided, or of the price of the merchandise sold.
The people that work in a cooperative as partners of the cooperative are in included in this category.
Employee of a private sector: person that works in a relationship of dependence with a private company and receives a payment for the work in the form of a salary, wage, or daily paid, whether in money or in kind, or both.
Employee of the public sector: person that works in a relationship of dependence with the state.
Employee of private households: the person that works in a relationship of dependence with a household that is not his/her own. This person works as a salaried worker, in money or in kind, or both.
[p. 168]
Unpaid worker: this is that person that works in a relationship of dependence with a person in a farm, business, or family company, and does not receive payment for his/her work in money or in kind.
32. Job level
To complete the inside of the questionnaire, you must have:
- Read and fully understand the contents of this manual.
- If any points are unclear to you, ask your team leader for an explanation.
- Know the definitions perfectly and the meaning of the abbreviations used.
- The presence of the person you are surveying to obtain reliable information. If the head of the household is absent, speak with his representative to get the necessary information.
[p.32]

Question for persons age 6 and older.
Question 32: Job level
This concerns the status of a person working in a job. A distinction is made between:
How to conduct the interview
31. Type of occupation
Special case: For any child who is a resident (present or absent) and was born in 1992, without the month being specified, questions 26-32 apply. For resident children (present or absent) to whom questions 26-32 do not apply, draw a slash through column 26 and the following columns.
Question 31: Current employment status
The "Current Employment Status" refers to the hierarchical position of an "employed" person or simply any worker within the company; the industrial, artisanal or commercial unit; the farm; the Government, etc., in which he or she currently practices or has previously practiced his/her economic activity, employment, trade, or duty during the reference period, i.e., in the last 4 weeks prior to the census taker's visit to the household.
[p.41]
For purposes of the census, a distinction must be drawn among 8 possible situations: employer, public sector employee, private sector employee, day laborer, member of a cooperative, self-employed worker, family assistant, and unpaid apprentice.
A worker is a person bound to an employer, public or private, by an employment contract that provides for salary-based compensation, in kind or in cash, for the work he/she provides. The census is also concerned with the type of employer, hence the distinction made between a public sector employee and a private sector employee.
Note: An apprentice paid in cash or in kind must be considered a private sector employee.
How to conduct the interview on current employment status?
To all residents aged 6 years or older who are declared "employed," ask the following question:
[p.42]
1- Do you work or conduct business on your own behalf, without associating yourself with anyone else, in a company, an establishment, an industrial, artisanal, agricultural or commercial production unit, or a facility that provides services, whose means of production and equipment belong to you?
2- Do you work or conduct your business on behalf of a government office, an organization, a company, an industrial, agricultural, commercial, or artisanal production unit, a facility that provides services, or an ordinary household (or an individual) that compensates you, on the basis of a verbal or written contract, in the form of a wage or salary, in cash or in kind, in return for the work done?
3- Do you practice your trade (craftsman, worker) on behalf of various clients (individuals, companies, etc.) who pay you by the job?" If the answer is "yes," the worker in question is a day laborer. Circle code "4 = TA." If the answer is "no," ask the following question:
4- "Do you conduct your business (trade, crafts, agriculture) on your own behalf, or in association with other people (in a cooperative)? If the answer is "yes," then this worker is a member of a cooperative. Circle code "5 = COP." If the answer is no, continue the interview.
[p.43]
5- "Do you conduct your business in a family business (boutique, small-scale production, commercial operation, farm, workshop, etc.) run by a relative who pays you no salary in return?" If the answer is "yes," then the individual in question is a family assistant. Circle code "7 = AF." If the answer is "no," ask the following question.
6- "Do you conduct your business or practice your trade with a master (worker, craftsman, service professional, etc.) who provides your professional training and therefore does not pay you any salary in return?" If the answer is "yes," then the individual in question is an unpaid apprentice. Circle code "8 = AP." If the answer is "no," then all questions must be repeated.
The current employment status also pertains to residents aged 6 years or older who are declared "unemployed" in column 28, "type of activity." We must therefore repeat the same sets of questions for each person declared "unemployed," this time referring to the last economic activity carried out before individual came to be unemployed.
17. Occupational category.

Active population
The labour force (active population) comprises all persons who were either employed or unemployed during the last week of the year. Participation in the labour force is determined on the basis of information derived from various registers.
Employee
Wage and salary earners (employees) are defined as persons aged between 18 and 74 who, according to the register data of employment statistics, have a valid employment relationship or employment pension insurance in the last week of the year. Persons employed by labour policy measures (other than business start-up allowance) in the last week of the year are also defined as wage and salary earners. It is required that the person defined as a wage and salary earner has received wage and salary income during the year, and that the person is not performing military or non-military service or has not been an unemployed job seeker in the job seeker register on the last day of the year.
If the person has self-employed person's pension insurance valid at the same time as the employment relationship, the person is defined as a wage and salary earner if his/her wage and salary income generated during the year is higher than his/her entrepreneurial income and he/she has not been a self-employed person in the statistics in the previous year.
If the person is not a self-employed person, unemployed, student, pensioner, performing non-military service or military service and his/her wage and salary income exceeds a defined income limit, he/she is defined as a wage and salary earner even if according to the employment relationship data, he/she did not have a valid employment relationship.

11. Employment status
Questions 8, 9, 10 and 11 are restricted to persons aged 10 years and over.
11. What was your employment status in this establishment?
Four boxes have been provided under this item and where the answer corresponds to one of these you should mark the appropriate box. Note that you should mark only one box for each respondent.
(a) Employee- Mark this box for a person who works for a public or private employer and is paid by this employer. Note that in certain establishments like the Electricity Corporation some employees work under the title "Apprentice". Such persons should be considered as employees.
(b) Self-employed without other employees- Mark this box for a person who operates his own enterprise (e.g., a farmer, kenkey seller, carpenter) and who does not employ anybody to work for him in the operation of his enterprise (except perhaps apprentices or members of his family). Note that apprentices should not be classified as employees,
pg. 72
so a carpenter or blacksmith, who works with apprentices only falls under this category. You should, however, make sure that the assistants of such a person are apprentices and not paid employees before classifying the respondent in this group.
(c) Self-employed and employs others- Mark this box for a person who operates his own enterprise directly or through another person (e.g. a manager or caretaker) and who for the operation of this enterprise hires one or more employees whom he pays. Note that the persons considered employees here exclude unpaid family workers and apprentices whether paid or unpaid.
(d) Unpaid family worker- Mark this box for a person who helps in running an economic enterprise operated by a member of his or her family without payment of wages or salary.
(e) Other, specify- To this category belong all persons who do not fall into any of the above groups. You should write down the person's employment status on the dotted line provided. Some of the types of workers you are likely to encounter here are caretaker in agriculture (Abusa, Abunu, etc.), Paramount Chief and Apprentice.

186. If the respondent is working or seeking work then he has to answer the following questions:
[Omitted, a), b) and c) as in the form]
187. The type of work he is or was doing the last time he worked must be very clear so as to be coded according to the occupational codes.
If his answer is general or vague, e.g. "technician", "employee" or "merchant" or "public servant", more questions are needed so as to clarify e.g. "what kind of technician', "what kind of employee", "what kind of trade, whole sale or retail" etc.
[Bottom of p. 60 and p. 61 omitted]
[p. 62]
190. Question (b) "what is the type of establishment, enterprise, agricultural land, service etc. he works (or was the last time he worked)" refers to the type of economic activity (industry branch) of the establishment, enterprise etc. the enumerated is working or if he is seeking work to the establishment, enterprise etc. he was working last. If seeking work for the first time as before "young" will be recorded.
191. The answer to this question must not be general or vague as e.g. "shop" or "factory" or "company" but must clarify the economic activity of the establishment or service he is working (or was working last). [Examples omitted]
[p. 63 omitted]
[p. 64]
194. Question (c) "occupational status" the enumerated must answer whether he is (or was) employer, self-employed, assistant in the family business or agricultural land, or employee or wage earner.
These categories are clarified as following:
ii) Self-employed is the one that works in his own work without employing salaried or wage earning staff apart maybe a member of his family as unpaid assistant.

195. The employee or wage earner that works on contract but has the materials or is working with percentages on the profits is not to be considered as employee or wage earner. In these cases, he will be considered as employer (if he employs staff) or self-employed (if not employing staff).
16. For those that answered 1 or 2 in question 15 (i.e., those who were working or were looking for work during the previous week) must describe:
a. The type of work they were doing the previous week (or did the last time they worked) question a1.)

16. For the individuals having answered that they were working or seeking work describe the type of work, the type of the establishment, enterprise etc., as well as their occupational status.
The type of work referred to the enumerated individual's occupation or of that he/she worked last. For those that were seeking work for the first time it was entered the word "young". The coding of the occupation was based on the 3 digits ISCO 68 [88?].
The type of establishment, enterprise etc. referred to the type of economic activity (industry branch) of the establishment where the enumerated individual was working or for those that were seeking work, of that they worked last. For those that were seeking work for the first time it was entered the word "young".
For the coding of the economic activity STAKOD was used, based on the 3 digits NACE Revision 1.
For their occupational status [answers as in the form, omitted].

15. What is or was you profession (job) the last time you worked?
16. What is or was your status at this job?
Occupational situation in the month before the census
23. Occupational position: What position do you have in your job?
These questions should be asked exclusively of the persons who have informed that they are seven years old or older.
Economic characteristics of the population
The questions oriented to find out which were the economic activities of the population (questions 19 to 26) will only be asked of persons who are seven years old or older. Therefore, for every child who is six years old or younger, you should make an X in the respective spaces across the columns.
Questions 19 to 26 are of great significance, and therefore we request that the enumerator pay the greatest attention possible to the instructions that are given on the following pages for filling them in.
The questions contained in this section of the form have a certain relationship to each other, and therefore, if you do not put special care in completing them, you run the risk of obtaining incompatible information that will cause enormous damage to the posterior process to which the form will be subjected.
In general, the research of the economic characteristics of the population will refer not to the day of the census, but to the month previous to the census, which will be from March 17th to April 17th, 1964.
Question 23: Occupational position (owner/employer, employee, self-employed worker, paid family worker, and unpaid family or other person)
This question should be asked exclusively of persons who are seven years old or older and who have informed to be working or looking for work during the last four weeks before the census.
Through this question, we will try to classify each person, assigning to the person the occupational position that corresponds to him or her, according to the annotations made in the questions 21 and 22, according to the following categories:
a) Employer: owner of any business (large or small), or the person who performs a profession or occupation and has one or more paid workers. (Do not include the family members, nor the servants.) A person who does not have paid employees is not an employer.
b) Employee: all persons who work for another who is not a member of their census household, receiving payment for this (wage, payment in-kind, tips or commissions). Here will also be included workers, day-laborers, and other employees, as the vendors of products owned by others sold by commission, insurance agents who work at home with materials provided by the employer and similar;
c) Self-employed: whoever is dedicated to an occupation, profession or trade, in independent form, which means, without having paid employees nor being the employee of anyone. Whoever has unpaid employees is also included in this category. The self-employed can work alone or associated;
d) Paid family worker: every person who works for a member of the census household, receiving payment, as long as he or she had been working for at least six days during the period from March 17th to April 17th, 1964; and
e) Unpaid family worker: this is the unpaid person who works in an economic business, leaded by a member of the household or by another person who is not related.
According to the above definitions, the enumerator should assign to each person his or her category and mark the corresponding small box; in no case should you mark more than one small box. When a special situation presents itself, which you consider doubtful, you should note the explanation in the space for "observations."

Ask questions 15-19 only for those aged ten (10) years or older.
Question 18: occupational category
1. How to ask the question:
[p. 80]
Ask, "What professional category were you in, or what position did you have in the "principal occupation" category indicated in question 16?"
After you ask this question, slowly read the options until the person being enumerated determines which category he or she falls in. Keep in mind the definition of each option so that you can advise the person being enumerated.
1. Employer: this is a person who has or had one or more wage earners performing an economic activity, i.e., workers who receive payment in cash or kind. If the person does not have employees, he or she is not an employer.
2. Self-employed: this is a person who works for himself or herself, does not work for anyone else, and does not have any paid employees. A self-employed worker may receive help from family members and may work alone or with someone else.
3. Paid employee: this is someone who works for a public or private employer and who receives wages, commission, or compensation in kind in exchange for his or her work.
4. Unpaid family member: This is a person who performs unpaid work for an enterprise operated by a relative and who works for at least one-third of the work day. People who do domestic work or occasional work in the enterprise are not included in this category.
2. How to record the answer:
Mark an "X" in one of the options. Mark an "X" in box 9, "unknown," only if the respondent does not know the occupational category of a household member.
3. Example:
[This box contains question 18 of the section VI, "people in the census household."]
Only for those who answered 1, 2, or 3 in question 16
[Questions 17 - 20 are asked for persons who responded 1, 2, or 3 in question 16]
20. Occupational category
Note: questions 17-20 are only presented to those who answered 1, 2, or 3 for question 16. For those answering 4-9, an "X" is marked in all of the spaces for questions 17-20.
Question 20: occupational category
1. How to formulate the question
What was your employment status in the principal occupation indicated in question 17?
The list of different alternative answers is slowly read, one by one, until the enumerated person is classified into one of them.
The following definitions will help orient the enumerated person.
a. Employer: This refers to those who have one or more salaried persons in their charge carrying out an economic activity; that is, workers who receive monetary or in-kind remuneration. One who has no employees is not an employer.
[p. 87]
b. Own account: This refers to those who work independently, who do not have remunerated employees and are not employees of anyone else. An own-account worker can count on the help of family workers and can work alone or as an associate.
c. Public sector employee: This refers to employees who receive a salary or wage from any state agency, either from the central government or from semi-autonomous or a decentralized entity (municipality, Institute of Social Security, Universidad de San Carlos, ministries, etc.).
d. Private sector paid employee: This refers to employees who receive a wage or salary from a company whose capital is private (Factories, Stores, Private Farms, etc.).
e. Unpaid family worker: This refers to those who carry out an unpaid occupation in an establishment operated by a relative, working at least 15 hours per week. Excluded from this category are those who carry out domestic duties or occasional tasks in the establishment.
2. How to record the data
The number corresponding to the answer is circled. "9. Not known" is circled only when the informant does not know the employment status of the household member.

[A graphic of box 19, "occupational category," is reproduced on the left-hand side of the page.]
Ask "What was your occupational category in your principal occupation?" and mark an X in the appropriate circle.
Below are definitions for the "occupational category" so that you can better identify the options:

Question 24: Most frequent activity conducted during the past week
A week ago is a time period of 7 consecutive days that ends a day before the date of the enumeration. For example, if the enumeration was conducted on October 14, the week before began from October 7 until October 13.
Activity covers the activity of working, attending school, a homemaking and others (for example, actively seeking a job, join courses, sports, or recreation). Those who are incapable of working are categorized as "Other".
Most frequent activity is the most time consuming activity compared to the others.
The most time consuming activity is calculated by comparing the time used for work, school, household work and others (actively seeking a job, incapable of conducting an activity, courses or sports). Leisure time used for relaxing, resting, sleeping and planting for working people, attending school, or taking care of a household are not used as a comparison.
Working is an activity of conducting work in order to obtain income or profits at least for one hour during the previous week. Working for an hour has to be conducted consecutively and continuously, including those who have a job but is temporarily not working. Earnings or profits cover salary/wages including all allowances, bonus and earnings from leasing, interests and profits in the form of cash or goods.

Attending school is attending classes in a formal school at the primary level or other levels (secondary and high), including those on vacation. For those who also go to school and work, the activity during the past week is the one which is the most time consuming.
Taking care of the household is the activity of doing household work/helping without receiving salary/wages.
Example:
A housewife, or her children who help with household activities, is categorized as "Taking care of a household". A helper who does the same activities but receives salary/wages is not categorized as "Taking care of a household", but rather is categorized as "Working".
"Other" are activities besides working, such as attending school, household work, those who are incapable of conducting activities, such as elderly people, handicapped or those who obtain pension and do not work anymore.

Record people's employment statuses related to their occupation, based on the following descriptions and write the proper code in this column.
[] 1 Employer: is someone who has employed at least one person. The following examples serve to illustrate this more:
- The owner of a food supply store, who has hired a shop-boy, is an employer.
- A construction worker, who has won a contract for construction and is performing it with the help of a few salaried workmen, is an employer.
- Those who use only the help of family workers without paying them any money are not considered employers.
- Those who are employees themselves, even if a few other people are under their supervision, are not employers. For example, those who work for government in any position are not employers.
[] 2 Freelance worker: is someone who has not hired anyone to perform his work and is not salaried himself also. Note the following:
- Those who use only the help of family workers and do not disburse any money to them are freelance workers. For example, someone who only uses the help of his children who live with him and does not pay them money is a freelancer.
- Consider a farmer who participates in harvesting time as a separate freelance worker, if he has not hired anyone.
[] 3 Public sector - salaried: is considered for those who work in ministries, governmental organizations, institutions, Islamic revolutionary foundations and other public organizations like public banks and municipalities, and earn an income from that, such as employees at the department of education.
- Employees of the production, commercial, etc. sectors which are under public sector supervision are considered as salaried by the public sector.
- Those on military service at the time of enumeration are considered as public sector salaried employees.
- Those who work for private contractors, even if those contractors work for public institutions, are not considered as public sector salaried.
[] 4 Private sector - salaried: are those who work for people or private organizations in exchange for money or services, such as a CEO of a private construction company, a private kindergarten teacher, an accountant in a private hospital, a construction worker's trainee, a cashier in a private bank, etc.
Note that:
- Those who have contracts with the private sector and work in governmental organizations, municipalities, etc. (public sector) are considered private sector salaried.
- Unpaid interns will be assigned to codes 3 or 4 based on the sector (public or private) they are working for.

3. Instructions for answering questions :
Questions for examining work in 2008:
The first group of questions about 'work' helps determine whether a person worked in 2008 and allows us to estimate the amount of labor force at the household's disposal.
Questions on the type of work the person does
The goal of the questions on the type of work is to fully and accurately classify the type of work a person actively does. Therefore, answering as accurately and in as much detail as possible is extremely important.
The information is received from two questions: description of the person's main job and description of the main activities the person performs at his job. The information from these questions focuses the data on the work the person himself does at the workplace, unlike the previous questions where the information received refers to the workplace where the person works. The answers to these questions are in the respondent's own words. Additional information on work is received from the questions: status at work and source of salary.
p. Status at workplace
The goal of the question is to receive information on the employment status of the people who worked in 2008. For example: the number of salaried employees and self-employed, number of Kibbutz members.
Question 7.150 - What is your status at this workplace?
Definitions of types of status at work:
Salaried employee: a person who works for someone else in return for a daily, monthly or contract salary, or in return for some other compensation.
Self-employed, does not employ workers: a person who owns a business, which is not a limited (Ltd) company, or a farm, and works in it, but does not employ others for pay or in exchange for any other compensation.
Self-employed, employs workers: a person who owns or partly owns a business, which is not a limited (Ltd) company, or a farm, works in it, and employs other workers for pay or in exchange for some other compensation (excluding unpaid family members).
Member of a cooperative: a person who is a member of a cooperative, who in addition to his salary also has a share in the cooperative's profits.
Kibbutz member: Any person who lives on a Kibbutz and works on it without receiving pay. A personal budget is not considered as pay.

Employee or other subordinate position: anyone working, with or without a contract, for a public or private employer, and receives compensation under the form of wages, salary, reimbursement of expenses, payment in kind, food, accommodation, etc.
Entrepreneur: anyone who manages their own business (agriculture, industry, commerce, services, etc.) and hires employees.
Professional: anyone who practices a profession or liberal arts (notary public, lawyer, dentist, building engineer, etc.).
Own-account worker: anyone who runs a farm, a small industrial or commercial firm, an artisans shop, a store or public service, in which he participates manually. This category also includes farmers, sharecroppers, etc., anyone working from the home directly for the consumer and not on commission to any company.
Member of a producer and/or services cooperative: anyone who is a member of a cooperative that produced goods and/or provides services, regardless of the field in which the cooperative operates, in other words, he who does not receive remuneration based on a work contract, but payment in proportion to the service provided and/or share of company profits.

7.6 Indicate if there are paid workers
[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No
[Skip to question 7.9]
[These questions are asked of individuals aged 15 years and over]
In your answers to question 6.6 through 6.12 refer to your primary work activity only. If you are not working at present, refer to your most recent job.
6.6 What type of work do (did) you do?
In your answers to questions 6.6-6.12:
This also includes:
Continuative and coordinated collaborative work (project-based or otherwise): work relating to one or several specific projects, programs or phases thereof. This contract type is characterized by the independence of the collaborator and mutual coordination with the contractor for provision of services. The worker may provide their services to multiple contractors (unless otherwise specified in the individual contract).
Occasional work: in this type of contract, the worker commits to providing the contractor with a job or service while retaining full organizational and operational autonomy without any administrative subordination. While this type of service is classified as occasional because of the fact that the relationship terminates after the agreed result has been achieved, the relationship is not necessarily a short-term one. Registration with INPS (the social security institute) is unnecessary due to the occasional nature of the relationship. Social security payments are not required, therefore, and the taxation involved is income tax, or IRPEF (20% withholding of the due amounts). This work category does not require a written contract, and there is no obligation to apply workplace safety regulations or any other legislation applying to other workers.
Business owner: self-employed manager of a business (agriculture, industry, commercial, services, etc.) which employs staff. With at least one employee working for them, the business owner?s main work is the organization and management of business activities. If direct involvement in the productive process is their primary work (in addition to organizing and managing the activity), then it is more appropriate to check box 6 ("Self-employed worker"). For example, a metalsmith who has his own workshop where he employs an assistant to help him, the primary activity is more about the metalwork itself than management of the workshop.
Freelance professional: works for him/herself in a professional capacity or in the liberal arts (notary, lawyer, dentist, construction engineer, etc.) in which intellectual work or effort is predominant. Freelance professionals may or may not be registered in an official roster of practicing professionals.
Self-employed worker: manager of a farm, small industrial or retail business, craftwork studio, shop or public service who contributes his/her own manual labor. This category also includes farmers, tenant farmers and similar who work directly from their own home on behalf of consumers, and not on commission for businesses. Self-employed workers may or may not have their own employees. What distinguishes them from business owners is how their direct involvement in the productive process predominates over their management-related tasks and responsibilities. If the worker has employees and the organization and management represents their primary activity, then it is more appropriate to check box 4 ("Business owner").
Member of a cooperative: an active member of any cooperative that produces goods and/or provides services, regardless of the specific type of activity involved, and whose compensation is proportional to services and/or share of business profits as opposed to contract-regulated payments.
Family worker: an individual who helps another family member who is self-employed without any contract-regulated work relationship (e.g. a wife helping her shopkeeper husband or a son helping his farmer father).

For those persons who during the week, had held two or more jobs (either at different times or at the same time) you should classify them according to the more important job, which in most cases would be the job that provided the greater income. You should proceed to get the required information by asking two questions. First, "As regards to the job (or the principal job) which you (he/she) had during the week before the Census, did you (he/she) work in your (his/her) own business or for someone else?"
If worked for others ask: "Did you (he/she) work for a salary or wages or were you (was he/she) working without pay in a family business or to learn an occupation?" The answer will indicate whether the individual is to be classified under Government, Non-Government or Unpaid Worker.
If For Self then ask: "'Did you (he/she) usually have paid workers working for you (him/her) in this business?"
The answer 'Yes' or 'No' will indicate whether you are to score the individual under 'Has Own Business or Farm - With Paid Help' or 'Without Paid Help'.

Women will be classified as "mlimi" if over the year they have spent more time working in the garden than working in the home, without pay, on domestic duties. If the person who would otherwise qualify as a "mlimi" had a job for pay during the "last seven days" then he or she should be treated as an employee. If he or she usually works in the family garden but did not do any work in the garden and was not employed during the "last seven days", he/she should be recorded as "mlimi" (that is, as though on holiday with a job to go back to).
b. Employee: Is a person who works for a public or private employer and receives a wage, salary or payment at piece-rates.
c. Family business worker: Is a person who works without pay in a business owned by a relative on a more or less full-time basis and is not engaged in any other economic activity.
d. Self-employed: Is a person who operates his or her own business or other economic enterprises, or engages independently in a profession or trade and does not hire any employees but may be assisted by family members.
e. Employer: Is a person who operates his or her own business or other economic enterprise, or engages independently in a profession or trade and employs one or more persons. (Note: this does not include managers or others who hire staff on behalf of their company unless they own the company).
Note: A person who had a job or enterprise but who has temporarily absent during the reference period due to injury, illness, vacation or other leave should be classified according to his job or enterprise as an employee, a family business worker, self- employed or an employer.
Unemployed: Is one who did no work the "last seven days" and did not have a job or business, but was available for or seeking work. Such persons may have worked before or have never worked before. These fall into one of the following categories:
ii. Worked before and not seeking work
iii. Never worked before and seeking work
2. Economically inactive
a. Non-worker (never worked before and not seeking work): Is a person who has never worked before and is at the moment not making any effort to seek work.
b. Homeworker: Is one who spends most of his or her time throughout the year, working without pay on domestic duties, such as cooking, washing or cleaning household surroundings.
c. Student: Is one who is under full-time instruction at a formal educational institution as long as he/she did not work during the last seven days.
d. Other: This category includes:
ii. Any person who did not work the last seven days because there was no need and relies on his or her own income, for example, pensioners.
Note: It may be necessary to ask several probing questions in order to determine a person's activity status.
B17. Type of activity last 7 days: What was [the person] doing the last seven days? For each person aged 10 years or more, ask about his/her main economic activity in which he/she had been engaged during the last seven days. Write the code of the activity in which the person has been engaged in during the last seven days in column B17. If such people are females skip to B20, otherwise, go to the next person or Part C.
Note: For persons whose economic activity is Mlimi in B17 should be recorded as "Mlimi" under occupation in column B18 and "Mixed farming" under industry in column B19.

Questions 18 to 22 have to do with the economic activity of the people enumerated, i.e, their occupation. To fill in their forms pay careful attention to the following directions:
[Page 32]
However, for people who work in the agricultural sector (farming, breeding animals, fishing and forestry) this reference period is brought to [illegible] 12 months, taking into account the seasonal nature of employment in this sector. Rural work is carried out during a fixed period which does not correspond to the date of the census.
22. Status in main employment
The status in the main job of an employed member of the working population is his status with respect to other persons at his/her place of employment. Ask the following question: "What is your position in the main job?" Depending on the answer you receive, fill in column 22 as follows:
- SG for paid government worker (persons who work for the government and are paid in
exchange).
[Page 35]
- I for Independent (a person who works for himself/herself and who does not employ any paid workers).

However, for the persons who work in the agricultural sector (beekeeping, husbandry, fishing, forestry, etc.), this reference period is extended to one year (12 months), because of the seasonal character of this type of employment. Indeed, works in agriculture are done during a well defined period during the year, which may not correspond with the census date.

Situation ____
7.5 Situation in the job
The objective of this question is to identify the position or relation that the person had in the job, the week before the interview.
The situation in the job permits us to classify the working population according to being salaried (employer or worker, weekly or daily worker), independent worker (boss or business person, self employed worker) or worker without pay.
[graphic of the question from the census form]
It should be clarified that if a person has done more than one occupation, you should ask for the one registered in 7.3.
[p. 130]
This question has five option answers, which are described below.
Employee or worker?...1
It is a person who worked in exchange for a paycheck, salary or in kind for a boss, company, business, institution or public or private dependency the week before the interview.
Generally, the job of people classified in this option is controlled by a contract, written or spoken.
People who receive a paycheck and also a commission for their work are classified in this option.
People who only receive commission for their sales or services that they do, are considered in option 4 self employed worker (does not hire workers)?
Also government authorities are included here, no matter their level (President of the Republic, governors, secretaries of state, etc.)
Weekly or daily worker?...2
It is a person who worked for a boss in exchange for a biweekly, daily or weekly salary. Generally these people are hired to do agricultural, livestock or construction activities.
Boss or business person (hires workers)?...3
It is a person who is owner of a business, company or establishment that hires one or more employees or workers. When an informant does not understand this option, clarify that bosses or business people hire workers in exchange for a salary.
Self employed worker (does not hire workers)?...4
It is a person who worked in an independent form (alone) in his or her own business and did not hire workers (employees or workers).
When people only receive a commission for the sales or services they do, they are considered in this option.
[p. 131]
In this option people who work in an independent manner and receive help from a family member who does not pay in exchange for work are also considered. In the case that they give them a salary or paycheck, they are classified as bosses.
In the case of farmers and members of cooperatives who in the reference week have not hired salaried workers, they are classified in this option, in the contrary case, consider them bosses (option 3).
When an informant declares that a person "is a partner," ask if workers are hired; if the answer is "no" write down code 4. Only in the case of hiring workers, assign code 3.
Worker without payment in a business or family plot of land? 5
It is a person who in the week of reference worked without receiving a salary in a family business (plot, workshop, ranch, parcel, etc). People who work without receiving salary in a non family business, also are classified in this option.
If after reading the options to an informant, he or she remains silent, doubting to give an answer or response with an occupation like: contractor, subcontractor, commission agent or sales agent, find out with questions like: "Did you work for another person?" or "Do you receive a salary for your work?" In the case of the answer being "yes" write down code 1 of employee and worker, if it is "no" investigate if workers are hired. If so, write down code 3 boss or business person (hires workers); if workers are not hired, register code 4 self employed worker (does not hire workers)?
If a person has his or her own business, ask if workers are hired. When the answer is "yes," write down code 3 of boss or business person and if t is "no," register option 4 of self employed workers, like in the following example:
Interviewer: Was Carmen in her job an employee or worker?
Informant: No, she worked with a partner.
Interviewer: Did Carmen and her partner hire workers?
Informant: No, she attended to the business in the morning and the partner in the afternoon.
Interviewer: Then Carmen was self employed?
Informant: I think so, yes.
If after exhausting all possibilities to get an answer, an informant does not know the information, write down code 9.
Now I am going to ask you about (name): ________
Copy the name of the person from section II

An employed person is:
When the person completed chores in outside homes, circle code 5.
Also, circle this code for those that worked only in exchange for a commission. But if he/she receives a base salary as well, then circle code 1.
When the informer has a doubt, investigate further with other questions like: "Juan works for someone? Do they pay Juan an income or a salary? Does Juan work in his own business? Does Juan contract workers?" among others.
If the person had more than one job, only record the job position of his/her principal occupation.
[p. 113]
[Figures are omitted]
Take into account the following considerations:
Laborers and farmhands generally perform their occupation in agriculture or construction.
Note that managers or administrators are not always owners of the business or company, but they are employees.
When the answer is employee or laborer, farmland, or paid assistant, continue with question 33 "Work benefits".
If the answer is boss, employer, or self-employed, go to question 34 "Income from work"; if the person is an unpaid worker, go to question "Business, company, or workplace".
34. Job position: In that job was [the respondent]:
In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.
34. Job position
The purpose of this question is to find out what position the employed people held in the business, company, or place where they worked the week prior to the interview.
Read the question and each of the options until an affirmative answer is obtained and circle the corresponding code.
[Figure omitted: image with text]
To record the information, take into account the following considerations:
The images show a day laborer and a bricklayer; the latter may be self-employed, a paid assistant, or a government employee.
[p. 374]
Consider that company managers or administrators are not always the owners of the business or company, but rather employees.
When the answer is administrator or manager, ask if they are also the owner of the business or company; if the answer is no, record it in option 2. Employee. Otherwise, inquire and record option 4. Boss or employer or 5. Self-employed worker, as appropriate.
Example:
As you can see, three passes are indicated in the question:
For those people with an answer in any of the options: 1. employee or worker, 2. laborer or day laborer, or 3. paid assistant, continue with question 35. labor benefits.
For people whose answer is the option: 4. boss or employer or 5. self-employed worker, continue with question 36. labor incomes.
And for the people whose answer is 6. unpaid worker, continue with question 37. worked hours.
The job position question is presented in the census manager as follows:
18. Employment status:
[] 2 Employer
[] 3 Self-employed
[] 4 Member of cooperative
[] 5 Household member working without payment in family's business or farm
[] 6 Other
Guideline to fill Questions number 15-19 of the Questionnaire
The enumerator should fill out the questions related to the employment and main activity of enterprise, with many details (not general) and make it easy to understand for coding people. In the employment section, if the person is a teacher, it should be clarified by asking what does he or she teaches? There is an example to make it more understandable.
A. The main activity of person should be detailed. For instance, the person would say his or her employment as a manager and should indicate his or her main activity as an "industry and trade". In this case, the enumerator should ask if he is a sales manager or general manager and at which division does he or she work for? What kind of economic activity does your enterprise do?
[p. 30]
It should be clarified by asking "Do you have salary? Do you own this enterprise? If he or she does not own this enterprise or contributed his or her own property to this enterprise, he or she will be defined as a contract worker.
2. If a person owns that enterprise, the main activity of the enterprise will remain the same as a "trade" and his or her employment would be a "sales person". It should be clarified with many details that trade is wholesale, retail trade or intellectual work trade. For instance, wholesale of vegetables, retail trade of shoes in the black market.
In this case, the person who works in the wholesale trade of vegetables as a salesperson is a contract worker because he or she gets paid working as a salesperson. It must be clarified that whose property is in this trade, if he or she did not contribute any property to this trade, he or she will be defined as a contract employer.
3. Occupational jobs should be clarified in a very detailed manner, too. If the person is an operator, it should be clarified what kind of machine or equipment operator does he or she do? For instance, the person who works at "Hotol cement" company as an operator, he or she should answer own employment as following:
In this case, it is understandable or certain, a person who works at a cement company as a paid employer and his or her employment status will be defined as a contract employer.
[p. 31]
B. Example to fill in the questions about employment of person who work at more than one job
1. If a person worked at more than one job one week prior to the reference period, the main job should be registered in the questionnaire. The main job is the one that was worked at the longest during the reference period (1 week) of the census. If the worked hours at both jobs is the same, then the job with the higher income will be registered in the questionnaire. For instance, accountant Ms. Dulmaa works at a commercial bank as a general accountant but also works at small private shop as a accountant, the main job will be a general accountant and the main economic activity will be registered as an "activity of monetary circulation".
In this case, Ms. Dulmaa works at the commercial bank as a general accountant and she is a contract worker. Because she gets paid working as a general accountant, it should be clarified whose property is in the commercial bank, and if she did not contribute any property to this bank, her employment will be defined as a contract employer.
C. An example to fill the questions about self-employed person.
1. Questions 15-18, related to the employment of person aged 15 and over who works at household businesses (livestock, farming etc) except the head of households, should be filled out as follows:
People who do not get paid from their work in a household business should have their employment status defined as "unpaid family worker". The employment status of those people cannot be defined as "self-employed" because they are participating in their own household business but are not engaged with any industrial activity that is independent.
[p. 32]
2. If a person engages in the household business and hires any other household members permanently, the employment status of the head of household will be defined as a" employer" not self-employed.
The employment status of the person who is engaged in retail trade, craftsman or service without any permission, will be filled out as "self-employed" because they are engaged with their own business that is independent. If a person says that he or she works at a car cleaning service, it should be clarified by asking, what kind of car does he/she clean, where does he or she work?

[] 2 Employee
[] 3 Own account worker
[] 4 Unpaid family worker
Column 19: What was ____ employment status?
[] 2. Employee
[] 3. Own account worker
[] 4. Unpaid family worker
Employment status description is reported in column 17 as the status of the usual activity in the last 12 month. For enumeration purpose, the employment status is divided into 4 categories as mentioned above. The description of these 4 categories is given below.
1. Employer - An employer is a person who operates her/his own economic enterprises or engages independently in a profession or a trade and hires one or more employees.
In other word, if the person is operating her/his own profession or business by hiring employees regularly in the reference period, then the employment status of that person is employer.
To mention the employment status of employer, encircle the "employer" option given in category 1. If the employer did other activities than management at that time, the status is still "employer".
But while operating his/her own activity at the peak time of the season - for example, planting, harvesting in agriculture related activities - a person may hire some people for 2-4 days only. At that time the status of the person is not "employer".
Examples
But if the hiring person was engaged in housework, then the status of the people who got cash or kind by doing housework is employee but the status of the person who hires these people is not employer. To become the employer, the employees who are being hired (in cash or kind) should work in the productive unit, profession, industry. The house worker should not be included as an employee of a productive unit, industry.
2. Industrialists, businessmen, traders and others who conduct their business by hiring people (in cash or kind) in the reference year regularly, then the status is "employer".
Many employers are working under ministers, secretaries, directors, general managers and other higher officials but the status of ministers, secretaries, directors, general managers and other higher officials are not employer, they are also employees. So, to mention the status of these people, should be encircled the category 2, "employees".
2. Employees - An employee is a person who works for public or private employer and receives remuneration in terms of wages, salary, commission, piece rates or pay in kind.
The status of the person becomes employees if she/he works in a government office, non-government office, corporation or private enterprises or office, private home doing any profession in the industry sector and getting salary, wages.
In the reference period, if the enumerated person was usually engaged in doing work for others by getting salary or wages, then her/his employment status becomes employees. Employees are getting salary or wages but they are not directly related to the profit and loss of the industry.
Note
2. The enumerated people who were usually working in industry, establishment, hotels or other organizations or in personal household in the last 12 months by getting salary, wage or any other type of remuneration, then their status should be written as employees. To mention their employment status should be encircled category 2.
3. Own Account Worker - An own account worker is a person who operates her/his economic enterprises or engages independently in a profession or trade and hired no employees in the last 12 month. The status of own account worker should be encircled in category 3.
People who are engaged in household work like servant or cook, and getting salary or wages regularly, but they are not engaged regularly in economic enterprises, are only for the housework purpose and not for industry. So, their employment status is own account worker.
The economic enterprises (industry) that is conducted by any member of the household and other members also work there without taking the salary, wage then the status of other members is also like the main person who conducts the industry "own account worker". To denote this employment status encircle the category 3.
But the profession which is adopted by any member of the household and other members only helps her/him partially (Morning, evening or other time) then the status of that persons will be the "unpaid family worker". To denote the unpaid family worker it should be encircled on category 4 not in category 3.
4. Unpaid family worker - An unpaid family worker is a person who works without pay in economic enterprises operated by a person living in the same household.
The industry mentioned in column 18 (agriculture or others) which is conducted by any household member and other members (husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, brother in law, etc) can support the activity without taking salary or wages. Except the people who are included in the occupation of column 17 - the main person who conducts the industry and the full time engaged members - other members who help partially for that industry should be included in the category 4. To denote their employment status, the category 4 "unpaid family worker" should be encircled.
Note - The members of the household who are engaged in the industry conducted in the household, like agriculture and others in the reference period, should be mentioned in the employment status for all male and female members.
ii. If the economic enterprise is conducted by the household members, without hiring people, then the main person of that enterprise will have the employment status of "own account worker".
Also all the household members who help partially in the enterprise will have the employment status "unpaid family worker". To denote this encircle the code category 4.
The employment status of male or female who works for others by taking salary, wages or any other facilities and conditions in the reference time will be the "employee". To denote this, the code should be encircled in category 2.
Unpaid family worker means: someone who helps the main person in his/her trade by acting as a substitute for some time, doing other works of the trade, etc.
In the agricultural-related activities (planting, harvesting, etc.), the other members of the household - for example, husband, wife, son, daughter, sister, brother, brother in law - may work fulltime or part-time without taking wages. If any member had done - in the last 12 months - fulltime work for these activities, that person has the employment status "own account worker" and encircle in category 3.But if any member has done partial work then she/he has the employment status of "unpaid family worker". To denote this encircle code category 4.
For questions 23, 24 and 25, Q 22: [1+2+3+4] greater than 0
[Questions 23 to 25 were asked of those who answered they did agricultural (1), salary/wage (2), own economic enterprise (3), or extended economic (4) work for a total of months greater than zero.]
[25] What was the status of employment of [the respondent]?
Column 25: what is the status of work of [the respondent] while working that economic activity?
Status of work means the status of a person's work in the usual activity in the last months stated in the column 23. For the purpose of the census, the status of work has been divided into four group.
These four group has been described below.
1. Hiring other people for work - For the person who has invested his capital (cash, goods, or both) in a business/industry with his own responsibility of risk of profit/loss and has hired one or more people in salary/wage (either in cash, or goods, or both) in the reference time period regularly, then the status of work of that person is "hiring other people for work." In other words, if a person has been running some business hiring one or more people, then his status of work is "hiring other people for work." Even if the person has done other works besides the business management; if he usually hires other people for work, circle the reference 1.
But, if a person hires other people in wage/remuneration basis for some days in the peak hours of work pressure (e.g. at the time of harvesting/storing only), then this status is not "hiring others for work."
Example:
2. Working for others for livelihood or sustaining life means that a person is working in agriculture, industry, business, office, or any other business running by others taking salary/wages (cash or goods) monthly/daily or by any other means, so his work status is "working for others." Similarly, people or employees working in government/non-government offices, international organizations, institutions, or private industries, or offices, or in private houses, or in other businesses by taking salary/wage, their work status is "working for others."
If the enumerated person has worked for others for the longest period of time in the reference time period, circle the reference number 2 "working for others" to indicate his work status. Persons working for others work in salary/wage basis and they do not participate directly in profit and loss of business.

Are you the owner or employee of this business? If he is the owner ask if he is in charge of employees. If the response is yes classify him as owner or employer (circle 07); on the contrary if he has no employees, classify him as independent or for their own account (circle 06).
In the case that Mr. Batista declares to work for other persons, classify him as private company employee (circle 02).
b. You will be able to determine the category of occupation of the persons in some cases, by means of question 18 (occupation). Example: a shoe shiner, traveling salesperson, car washer, scrap seller, newspaper seller and other occupations that persons do in which they logically are not in charge of any employees. These persons can be classified automatically as independent or for their own account (circle 06).
c. In equal form the category of occupation (question 21) will be able to be determined through the response given to question 16 (place of work). Example: If a person states that they worked in the National Environmental Authority, the Institute of National Water Systems and Sewer Systems or any other governmental dependency, you can automatically classify them as Government Employee (Circle 01). Equally if a person works in their house or in the street, they can be classified for their own account (circle 06).
d) Inasmuch as the family worker, you may think that it concerns a person who works in a family house, nevertheless, if you carefully read the definition, it will become clear to you that it concerns a person who works 15 hours or more a week in the business of a family member without receiving a wage or a salary. In this category are included the family members of farmers who work in the same plot of land without receiving payment. Examples:
16 year old student who used to work in the afternoon with grandfather in a farm without receiving a salary, from Wednesday to Sunday for 3 hours every day.
21. Who do you work for?
Urban RNVs and rural villages
Questions 20 to 22
Questions 20 to 22 are only for people who are involved in money raising activities. That is they are either usually wage earners (codes 01 or 02) involved in a business (code 03) or get money from farming or fishing (code 04). Simply you do not have to ask these questions to anyone with codes OS to 10.
All three of these questions must relate to the same particular job or business for that person.
Question 21
Write clearly the name of company or government department.
If the person is self-employed (that is has his own business) simply write "self".
For farmers and fishermen (code 04) you should also write "self".
If a person works as a hausboi or haus meri, you do not have to write the name of the employee, e.g. "Mr Smith" just write "private".
Try to give the actual branch or section of the company or department, e.g. Steamships wholesales BPs plantations, Department of Works and Supply - refrigeration section.
For all persons 10 years of age and older (born before July, 1980)
[Questions 16-17 were asked of persons of ages 10 years or older.]
17. Principle economic activity during the last 7 days
15. In the last seven days, has the person done any of the following?
The economic questions are an important part of the census form. The economic questions for each person over 10 years are in Question 15 to 19.
The census provides the chance for us to find out what kind of work people do. Work that earns some income or helps to support the family, such as growing food, is called "economic activity". Some people are not economically active. On the information collected, community needs can be identified. Better plans can be in place.
Question 15: Economic activity
Q15. In the last seven days, has the person done any of the following?
(If more than one answer is given, record main activity
If code 7 "None": go to question 18.)
Get this information for: All persons 10 years and older. That is, all persons born before 9 July 1990. If date of birth is not recorded, use age given in years.
How to ask: "In the last seven days, has the person done any of the following?"
What each code means:
Code 1: Gardening/fishing for money.
Use Code 1 if the person did any gardening/agricultural, hunting or fishing activity in the last 7 days and sold some or all of the produce. The activities include growing cash crops such as coffee, tea, cocoa, rubber and oil palm and also producing other things for sale. This includes growing any vegetables, making sago, gathering food, fishing, keeping livestock or hunting wild pigs or other animals for sale.
Code 2: Gardening/fishing for own use only.
Use Code 2 for a person doing any gardening/agricultural, hunting or fishing activities in the last 7 days for their own or family use but not for sale. This is called subsistence.
Code 3: Business (any type) with paid help
Use Code 3 for persons who have a business of any type at all, big or small, which has some paid workers (in pidgin, wokman). The person gets Code 3 if they own the business or partly own it and get a share of the profit. (e.g PMV, trade store, professional practice, or a farm run as a business with paid workers).
Do not use Code 3 if he/she is paid a regular wage by the business. Wage earners are Code 6. Code 3 is used only for people who take all or part of the profit from a business.
A Code 3 business includes professional practices (e.g. private doctor, lawyer) as well as very informal activities such as selling crops or betel nut, as long as they employ one or more workers.
Code 4: Business (any type) with unpaid help
Use Code 4 is for the owner or part-owner of any type of business which does not have any paid workers. Family members may help without payment.
The difference between Code 3 and Code 4 is that a Code 3 business has paid workers but a Code 4 business does not.
Code 5: Helping in family business without pay
Use Code 5 for persons who work in a family business without pay. It is quite common for family members to help businesses such as trade stores. Women and school children often do this activity without pay.
Gardening is not counted as business unless there are also wage workers. Women and children who help in gardens, which are not businesses, get Code 1 or Code 2.
Code 6: Wage job (includes temporary absence)
Use Code 6 for all persons who are employed in a wage or salary job of any kind, including part-time, temporary, or casual work.
Include persons who are temporarily absent from their work due to ill ness, lay-offs, labor disputes, strikes, or were on leave or holiday, even if they did not do to work during the last 7 days.
Notes: Be alert and be sure to skip to question 18 if the person is not economically active (Code 7). You will look silly if you ask people about their occupation (Q16) if they have just told you they do not do any of activities 1 to 6.

P28. For whom or where did [respondent] work? (Please see code book)
The question P28 is to be asked for those who were engaged in an economic activity in the past 12 months: "For whom or where does/did _______ work?"
The response to this question should refer to the usual occupation recorded in P25.
Possible responses are categorized into seven (7) classes of workers:
1. Worked for private household (Domestic Services). If a person worked in a private household for pay, in cash or in kind. Examples are family drivers, gardener, yaya, household help and other persons in domestic service.
2. Worked for private business/enterprise/farm. All employees in private firms and farms are classified here.

3. Worked for government/government corporations. All government employees would be classified here. Examples of this class of workers are:
4. Self-employed without any paid employee. If a person worked for profit or fees in own business, farm, profession or trade without any paid employee.

Domestic helpers, family drivers and other household helpers who assist in the family operated business, regardless of time spent in this activity, are NOT hired employees in the enterprise/business; hence a farm or business proprietor who is assisted purely by such domestic help is not considered an employer.
A retail store operator who is wholly assisted in the operation of his/her store by unpaid relatives living with him/her and who employs carpenters to construct a building for his store (with store operator supervising the work) is not an employer. However, if this operator is also the owner or partner of a firm with paid construction workers and staff, and the reported industry in P26 is building construction, then he is an employer.
6. Worked with pay on own family-operated farm or business.
If a person worked in own family-operated farm or business and receives cash or a fixed share of the produce as payment for his services. Note that whenever there is a household member with this code, there should be a household member with code 5 for class of worker.

Nevertheless, if the said individual does not work without payment but there is a set wage for his or her support specified, then he or she shall not be considered a supported but a worker.
The fact of not receiving separate payment for the work in the same time points to the said supporting person being provided for by other members of the household and therefore, the supporters and the supported individuals shall be registered in the same household.
Therefore, a person who supports the family members without payment but lives in a different household shall not be considered a supporter but rather a hired worker, as he or she does not belong to the same household, the supported individual is the member of.
9. "Clergyman" shall be indicated for priests and monks of all religions.

Every working person should have his working specification indicated:
'1. Socialized agriculture worker' -- should be used for individuals employed for a set workload in national companies, collective companies, social organizations, political organizations and in companies governed by these companies.
'2. Non-socialized agriculture worker' -- should be indicated for individuals:

'6. Agricultural holding user' 'Agricultural allotment user' -- should be indicated for individuals, who are earning for their maintenance by working on their own expense in own (own, leased or used in any other way) agricultural holding (garden, orchard, etc.), as agricultural production manager.
Agricultural housing or allotment's user should be specified on the basis of self-evaluation of inhabitants or registered dwelling. Individual, who will define himself as agricultural holding's user (agricultural allotment), should have at least 3 months workload specified in the question number 20.
'7. Working on ones' own expense' -- should be indicated for individuals, who have their own industrial workshop (manufacturing workshop), shop, stall, workshop, they are earning by driving their own taxi, are performing so called free professions (artists, writers, doctors with their own practice) or are tutoring individually.
'8. Work supporter' - should be indicated for all individuals, which supports family member in managing the agricultural holding (plot) or in any other work performed on one's own expense without any specified payment. It should be noted that individuals learning in day schools shouldn't be considered as supporters while managing agricultural holding (allotment). Workload of the supporter indicated in the question number 20 should be longer than 3 months.
The fact of not receiving any set payments by the supportive family member automatically shows his mutual persistence with an individual working on his own expense, or with an user of the agricultural holding (plot), which results in a situation, that the supporter and supervisor should be registered in one household.

Question 32- Indicate your professional status in the occupation indicated?
[There is an image of question 32]
This question attempts to know the condition of the person who works in their occupation or rather relate the work to the dependence on the person who performs it.
If the person has more than one role, during the week in reference, indicate what took up the most time.
Employer- this is the owner, partner, or main stockholder of the business in which he/she mainly works, and typically has one or more paid employees under his/her supervision.
Self-employed- is a person who works for his/her own accord, or in association with another person and does not have paid employees.
Employee- is a person who works for an employer, business, State, etc. receiving a wage.
A person that does military service, voluntarily or by contract are considered employees.
Family worker- is considered work done for a family member and is not paid, all people who work at least 15 hours during the reference week and that directly contributed to the operation of a family business, farm, or professional office that produced profit and belongs to a relative.
Active member of a producers' co-operative- if the person is a member of a producers' co-operative of goods or services in which his/her main occupation is that must choose this option. This also includes workers for self-managed businesses. Paid employees of a cooperative that were not members must choose the option "employee".
Other situation- This includes all situations not previously mentioned.
For situations in which the difference between employee and self-employed is not clear, you must determine which one is the best fit, according to the work conditions (when and where the job is performed, how much pays, etc.).
In case that the person defines these conditions for themselves, the person is considered self-employed, in cases where the employer defines the conditions, the person is considered an employee.
Therefore, people that receive the so-called "green receipts" even if they are self-employed, must be classified with the option "employee" since they verify the following conditions: set work place
[p. 141]
within an organization, set hierarchy, and defined schedule. In case these conditions are not verifiable, then the answer should be "self-employed".
If a person was unemployed and was looking for work during the week in reference, you must indicate the situation in which the person last worked.

Questions such as "Does your work require a salary? Or does your boss pay you a salary in any way?"
The answers, "Yes or "No", allow one to distinguish between SP and AP.
Example:
A person just spent eight months in Kigali, looking for a job; before that, he/she was working in the fields with his/her parent in Runda. Circle number "6" (AF) in P23.
Let us come back on examples for P21.

If a person does not know the occupation or position but knows that he/she was working last year, record "working but not knowing occupation".
If a person did not work at all did not have any occupation last year, such as pensioner, lender, etc., record "not working" and omit Columns S10 and S11.
Column S10: Type of work or enterprise category of the work place (industry)
[Ask only persons who recorded occupations in column S9.]
Ask: "............... (name) ................" what enterprise or business are you working on, or what are you producing?
Guidelines for recording the type of work or enterprise category of the work place:
1. Specify the type of enterprise of the work place or the business place at which the person was working. Record specific type of business such as medical clinic for ear, nose, and throat; general X-ray company; radio and television repair shop, etc.
2. If it is the company or the department store that involves merchandise, record specifically whether the business is retail or wholesale, or both. Examples are retail radio company, wholesale and retail Thai merchandise shop, wholesale and retail dishware shop, coffee and beverage shop, retail pharmacy, retail gold and jewelry shop, etc.
3. If the work place belongs to the government or government enterprise, record the type of work or the name of the office at which the person was working. Examples are Interior Trading Department, Telephone Authority of Thailand, Hospital, Primary school, Thai merchandise retail shop of the Industrial Support Department etc. For the government's offices in the provinces, record the name, division or office such as District Educational Division District Revenue Office, etc.
4. If one work place involves more than one business or activity:
4.1 If each business has a separate office, record the type of business at which a person was working. For example, in a beer factory the wholesale office is located separately from the factory. If a person worked in the wholesale office, record "wholesale office of a beer factory."
4.2 If the activities are in the same office, but they are separated into divisions or sections, record the type of business is the most important in that work place and the division at which the respondent is working. For example, if a person is working in the fabric-dyeing division of a fabric-weaving factory, record a fabric-weaving factory, fabric-dyeing division. If a person is working in the mechanic shop of an automobile retail company, record automobile retail company, mechanic shop division, etc.
4.3 If all activities are in the same office and have not been divided into separated divisions, and the persons who work at the office engage in more than one activity, record the most important activity of that business. For example, in a shoe-producing shop that produces, sells, and repairs shoes, a person who sells shoes is the same person who makes and repairs shoes as well. In this case, record the type of business of a working place as "shoe-producing shop" because producing of shoes is more important than selling or repairing shoes.
4.4 In the case where a store has both retail and wholesale merchandise, ask whether the type of the largest amount merchandise is wholesale or retail and record that type. For example, a store sells can-products from abroad and has more wholesale than retail. Record the type of work place as "can-products wholesale shop". If the amount of wholesale and retail are the same, record the type of work place as "can-products wholesale and retail shop".
5. If the respondent operates the business at his/her own house, such as dressmaker shop, lawyer office, radio repair shop, laundry shop, consider the house where a person live as the business office. Record the job description or the type of business according to the type of activity. For example, Mr. B opened a radio repair shop at his own house, record "radio repair". Or Miss A opened a laundry shop at her own house, record "laundry service", etc.
6. If a person does not have any specific office or a permanent office/work place for his business, record the type of business in which a person is engaged. For example, Mr. A is a house painter, record "house painting". Mr. B is a rice farmer, record "rice farming".
7. For a taxi, motor-tricycle or bus driver, regardless of the vehicle ownership, the criteria for recording must be:
b) If it is a bus, record "bus service".
8. For a person who drives a shipping truck, regardless of the vehicle ownership, record "Shipping merchandise". In the case that a person drives a shipping truck of a can goods wholesale shop, record "can goods wholesale shop".
9. The employee who works in a private house, such as housemaid, record the job description or the type of business at the working place as "private service". For example, Miss E does laundry at Mrs. A's house, record "employee in private household".
10. For laborers, record the job description or the type of business at the work place in which a person worked last year.
The job description or the type of business of the work place at which a person worked last year must correspond to the main occupation at which a person had engaged in previous year.
Prohibition in recording the job description or the type of business at the working place
Do not record the name of company, the name of department store, or the name of the shop without recording the type of business of the work place. Examples are Disco, Taew Aiew Hong shop, Chareonphan Shop, etc.

Column 14b: The purpose of this question is to identify the worker's status within the company. Six different positions have been defined and the worker can only occupy one of these positions at one time. We will now define each of these positions so that the enumerator can assign workers to the most appropriate category. The company signifies the social and economic environment in which the person works (public, private, semi-public sectors, etc.)

55. Question 23 - Main activity during past 12 months
This question aims at classifying persons according to their main activity during the 12 months preceding enumeration, based upon what each person has been engaged in for most of that period. It is also intended to distinguish between persons who work (i.e. are economically active) and those who do not work. An individual is classified as working if he is engaged in the production of goods or services for sale. Usually this entails his receiving a wage, salary or other form of recompense; but trainees and apprentices, whether paid or not, as well as unpaid helpers in commercial farms and other enterprises a.re also to be classified as workers. All self-employed persons are also to be listed as worked.
Categories of persons who are not economically active in this context over persons who have never worked before but who are seeking their first job, people engaged in home duties, students and those retired or disabled.
56. Question 24 - Worker or occupational status during past year
The purpose of this question is to distinguish between persons who for most of the 12 months preceding census day worked for others as paid employees, or unpaid workers and those who worked for themselves.
In the case of persons who worked for others, the information sought is whether they worked for the government or not, or were engaged in a family or other business without pay.
For those who carried on their own business or farm your mark must indicate whether they operate with paid help or without.

[Questions 21-34 are for persons age 12 or older]
Employment status within the last week (27-33)
(Persons age 12 or older)
Question 31: What is your employment status in the job you were working at or continued to hold during the last week?
In getting this question answered, pay attention to the following definitions.
Keeping the definitions below in mind, an "X" is to be placed into the appropriate box.
1. [Employee] on a wage, salaried, or a casual basis: People working in return for a wage or salary for an employer in someone else's business, in order to earn an income in-kind (goods) or in cash (money). For example, a director, a low-level/low-skilled service employee, a laborer, a shoemaker, a barber and journeymen and other workers working on a weekly or monthly basis.
Casual laborers (seasonal, incidental, temporary): Those dependent on an employer, not working on a regular or steady basis, and who, depending on the nature of the job, work seasonally or temporarily or whenever they manage to find work. For example, those engaged in construction labor, hoeing or collecting crops in the field, etc.
2. Employer: A person employing at least one wage or casual worker in his/her own workplace. In a workplace, there may be more than one partner with the status of employer. In such a situation, each partner is to be regarded as being an employer.
3. Self-employed: Fitting this definition are those seeking to generate an income in-kind (goods) or in cash (money) by working in their own business, field, vineyard, garden, store, office, manufacturing facility, repair facility, etc., doing so either alone or together with unpaid family members (without employing any wage or casual laborers). In a workplace, it is possible for several partners to be working together without employing any paid people. Partners in this situation are also to be deemed as working on their own account.
4. Unpaid family laborer: A member of the household contributing labor without getting paid, with the purpose of assisting in an economic activity being run by one or several household members.
17. Activity status last week (employed, self employed, unpaid family worker, student, household work, looking for work, disabled, too old, etc.)
Question 17 and 18 Activity Status and Occupation
134. Questions 17 and 18 are concerned with how people provide for themselves, how they make their living. The questions apply to women as well as to men.
135. In the week before census night, almost everyone in Uganda will have done something to provide for him or herself. It is your job to discover and record what each person did. It does not matter whether they had a job or were paid for what they did. A person who farmed or fished or replaced thatch on a roof or cultivated a vegetable garden worked. So did people who were in paid employment.
136. Ask the questions as they are set out here and on the questionnaire and talk about each member of the household until you understand what he or she did in the way of making a living last week. Make entries on the questionnaire only when you have the picture clear in your mind.
Question 17 Activity Status Last Week
137. "What was the person's main activity during the past week?"
138. A person either did something to provide for him or herself last week or did nothing.
139. Those who were active in providing for themselves or their families, may have been active in different ways. We are concerned with the main activity - the one the person spends most time at - that which the person considers most important.
140. If the person combines paid employment with unpaid work you should record the paid job rather than the unpaid job - for example, if the person is a bus driver and worked as well in his garden to grow food it is the fact of his being a bus driver in which we are interested. And if the person is a housewife who went to market to sell fruit, it is the fact of selling to make money in which we are interested.
141. If the person is engaged temporarily on the census we are concerned with his or her usual activity. Thus if the person is a secondary school teacher and is working as a census enumerator or supervisor, it is the fact of being a teacher in which we are interested.
142. Persons who did something to provide for themselves or their families were active in one of the following ways:
Employed - such people are employed by others and are paid regularly in cash or in kind. If the person did some work last week for a wage or salary or was paid in kind, write "employed". You should also write "employed" if the person was temporarily absent from work because he or she was on leave or sick or for some other reason. A teacher on holiday, for example, may not have been teaching last week because schools are closed, but he or she should be recorded as "employed".
Self-employed - such people work for themselves and receive cash when they sell some thing or some service, or receive goods in exchange. They do not receive a wage or salary.
This category includes a person who runs his or her own shop or business, who sells in the market, which makes handicrafts or pottery or other things to sell, who grows vegetable or root crops or catches fish to sell. It includes casual workers and everyone who is paid on a contract, task or piece work basis. For these people write "self-employed".
Unpaid Family Worker - such people work to provide for themselves and their families but do not receive regular wages. Very often they work in the family business or farm and are members of the family who are provided with food and lodging and share in the profits which arise from the joint family work but do not receive cash on a regular basis. For such people write "unpaid".
143. A person may have done nothing last week to provide for him or herself. There are many reasons why this might happen. Those which are most important to the census are:
Household Work - this applies to men or women who were occupied with purely domestic duties round the house. For such people write "household work".
Many household workers combine domestic duties with working outside the house - in the garden, in paid employment, making articles for sale. In such cases they were active in providing for themselves and should be classified as "employed", "self employed" or "unpaid" as appropriate.
Student - if the person is a full time student, write "student".
Looking for work - this applies to people who were capable of working and who would have worked if there had been a job available. It includes those who wanted to work and actively looked for work as well as those who did nothing about finding a job because they knew there were none available.
The question is, "Did this person do anything to provide for him or herself last week?" If the person did nothing and was dependent on others for food and shelter but could have worked and wanted to work, write "unemployed".
There are other reasons why a person may have done nothing to provide for him or herself last week. Ask for and record the reason - "too old", "disabled", "pensioner", "mad" or as the case may be.
P18 Activity status in the last seven days What was name's main activity status in the last 7 days? (If not working for pay, (code 13-19) skip to P21, otherwise write appropriate code) ___
Economic Activity
136. Is defined as work, which involves the production of goods and services for sale or exchange and production of certain products for own consumption. Non paid Household chores such as preparing food, house cleaning, care of children or collecting fire wood for own consumption are considered as non economic activities. Also community and volunteer services and prostitution are classified as non-economic activities.
137. According to the above definition, economic activity covers production of goods and services intended for market, all government activities, production and processing of primary products (crop farming, animal rearing, fishing, forestry and logging activities; and mining and quarrying) for own consumption, processing of primary products and production of other commodities where part of it is sold on the market. In addition, they include own account construction, fixed asset production.
Activity Status
138. Personal activity status is defined in relation to the person's position at his/her place of work and his/her mode of remuneration i.e. self employed, Paid employee, Unpaid family worker, Student, pensioner, etc.
139. Main activity Refers to the most important economic activity the respondent was engaged in terms of time spent during the last seven (7) days preceding the Census night. 140. Self-Employed: It comprises of employers and own account workers.
2. Own account worker: is a person who operates his/her own economic enterprise without employing other people as helpers. For example, a person who makes bricks and does not employ any helper is considered an own account worker, not an employer.
141. Unpaid Family workers: Refers to those members of the Household who work in an enterprise operated by the Household without pay or profit.
142. Paid Employee: This is a person who performs work for a public or private employer and receives remuneration in wage or salary, commission and piece rates in cash or in kind.
143. Some examples of paid employees are a primary teacher who works in a school for a wage/salary is a paid employee; a person who makes bricks from materials owned by others, and who is paid a salary or wage for work is a paid employee; a person who works in a shop belonging to a Household for a salary is a paid employee.
144. All persons who will be temporary absent from work because they are on holiday, sick leave, maternity leave, annual leave and for some other reasons but continue to receive wage or salary, will be recorded as paid employees code '10'. For example: A teacher on holiday, he/she may not have taught during the last 7 days before the census night but continued to receive his/her salary. Such person is considered as a paid employee.
145. Also all persons who were engaged in temporary activity while on holiday, leave or some other reason but have a permanent job to return to, his/her usual activity will be recorded not the temporary activity. For example, a secondary school teacher who is on holiday and is currently employed as a census enumerator or Supervisor, his /her usual activity status (Paid employee) and occupation (Secondary teacher) is the one to be recorded.
146. Looking for Work: These include persons without work i.e. were not in paid employment or self employed and had taken specific steps in a specified recent period to seek paid employment or self-employment. The specific steps include registration at a public or private employment exchange, application to employers, checking at work sites, farms, factory gates, market or other assembly places, placing or answering newspaper advertisements, seeking assistance from friends or relatives, looking for land, building, machinery or equipment to establish own enterprise, arranging for financial resources, applying for permits and licenses, etc.
147. Full time Student: A person who attends a regular formal educational institution, public or private, and does so on a full time basis is called a full time student. Part-time students in formal institutions but also working elsewhere should be regarded as Working.
148. Household Worker: A person of either sex involved in housework and is not paid for the chores he/she performs is called a Household worker.
Industry
149. Refers to the type of economic activity carried out by the enterprise where a person is working. For example, a school nurse is considered to be in the education sector, while an accountant in a soap factory is in the manufacturing sector. Subsistence farmers are considered to be in the agricultural sector.
150. Manufacturing is defined here as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products, whether the work is performed by power-driven machines or by hand, whether it is done in a factory or in the worker's home, and whether the products is sold at wholesale or retail.
151. Some common manufacturing activities include making pancakes, making chapatti, grinding groundnuts, slaughtering animals, coffee processing, maize milling, making curry powder, brewing local beer, distilling local waragi, making furniture, etc.
Occupation
152. Occupation refers to the actual work that an individual does at the place of work. This is irrespective of what the organization actually produces. The information on occupation will be coded in the office. You are thus required to give brief but precise descriptions of the actual occupations, in order for the head office to be able to assign appropriate codes.
153. A description such as "farmer" or "Crop Farmer" is not sufficient. To get the appropriate code we need a description such "Subsistence crop farmer". Additional examples
ii. Do not report "farmer" but the type of farmer, such as "Subsistence Crop Farmer ", "Subsistence Animal Farmer", "Commercial Crop Farmer", "Commercial Animal Farmer", "Commercial Fish Monger"
iii. Do not report Trader but the type of trader, such as "Retail Trader Of Food Items", "Wholesalers, Importers".
iv. One of the common occupations is a retailer who sells a wide variety of products such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, stationery items, soap, cigarettes, and other products. Report the occupation description for these as "Retail trader in General Merchandise"
How to fill in Questions 18 - 20
154. Questions P18, P19 and P20 are meant for all persons aged 5 years or above. Look back at the age you have entered for each person. For those aged 0 to 4 years write "N/A" for question P18, leave the rest of the columns blank and continue to the next person.
155. Ask the questions as they are set out on the questionnaire and talk to each member of the Household and code after understanding what he/she did during the last 7 days prior to the Census Night.
Question P18: Activity Status in the last 7 days
Ask, "What was (name's) main activity during the last 7 days"
156. This question should be asked to all Household members aged 5 years and above. Write the appropriate code using the code list. Make sure that you understand the activity status of the Household member as explained above before coding.
157. We are interested in someone having worked for a minimum of 1 hour per day on average.
158. For those members of the Household with more than one economic activity, seek the main economic activity in terms of time spent.
159. Many of these peasant farmers engage in more than one activity but in describing their work you should pick the main activity i.e. where he/she spent most of the time during the last 7 days.
160. If the person combines paid employment with unpaid work you should record the paid job rather than the unpaid job - for example, if the person is a bus driver who earns a salary, and worked as well in his garden to grow food, we are interested in the paid job. If the person is a Household worker but performed some economic activity (say sold fruit), such a person should be classified in category of selling fruits, codes 10 - 12.
161. A person may not have worked last week because he or she was temporarily absent from work. In such cases ask about the person's usual occupation. A primary teacher on holiday, but continues to receive a wage or salary, you should record his /her occupation, but if he/she does not continue to receive wage/or salary his /her occupation or she/ he intends not to go back, you should not record the occupation. Probe further to find out what he/ she is doing.
162. Note: Questions P19 and P20 are applicable to Household members with codes 10-12 only in Question P18, i.e. paid employees, self-employed and unpaid family workers. For other codes in Question P18 (codes 13-19), write 'N/A' in Question P18 and skip to Question P21.

Title 16: Category of principal occupation
261. The information about the "category of principal occupation" should be obtained based on the following definitions:
Employer:
262. It is a person who runs their own economic company or who works for their own account; a profession or office that has one or more workers by salary or day's wages. Domestic workers should not be considered among them.
Worker for their own account:
263. It is a person who, without relying on an employer, runs their own economic company or who works by their own account; a profession or office without having any paid workers.
[p. 41]
They can be alone or with an associate.
Employee:
264. It is a person in whose job intellectual force predominates over physical and who works for a salary for a boss or public or private employer, and who is not a member of their census home.
Also considered as employees are:
b) Professors, professionals for a salary, and specialized assistants of liberal professions;
c) Employees at desks, counters, and offices;
d) Collectors, traveling salesmen and women, agents, company runners, radio-technicians, operators, boat captains, or pilots.
Laborer:
265. It is a person who does a predominantly manual labor activity and works for a salary or day's wages for a boss or public or private employer, and who is not a member of their census home.
266. Domestic employees or those who do activities in the home (cook, nanny, valet, servant, etc.) should be considered within this group -- people who correspond to the industry of activity named: "Family house".
267. Also these are considered laborers:
b) Drivers, machine workers, and firemen;
c) Foremen and workers of agricultural and livestock operations;
d) Delivery people, doormen, packers, servers;
e) Hairdressers, hair stylists, manicurists, and other operators of beauty salons.
15. Industry of principal activity: ________
Only for those who are employed and unemployed.
Specify the class of establishment where the employed does the principal occupation, or if unemployed, the class of the last establishment worked. Examples: textile factory, food storage, public school, judge's chambers, farm, country house, etc.
Title 15: Industry of principal activity
252. "Industry of principal activity" is understood to be the class of business, establishment, office, organization, company, institution, etc., where a person does their principal occupation.
253. Write down this information only for people who in the previous title (title 14), were registered with a principal occupation that pertains to one of the two groups: "Employed", or "Unemployed".
As in the case of the principal occupation, try to register in the most concrete form, avoiding vague names, the class of establishment where the person works or worked (if "Unemployed"). Avoid names such as workshop, office, store, company, factory, stall, etc., and instead specify in the following manner: shoe factory, radio repair shop, accountant's office, leather stall, air transportation company, refrigerator repairs, construction company, textile factory, bronze smelting, etc.
[p. 40]
255. Avoid writing down names that are exclusively the name of the establishment, like the factory "La Violeta", "Casa Fénix", etc., that do not give any idea of the class of industry or business done in it.
256. In the case of mixed businesses like a beauty salon or hairdresser's in which there is at the same time a lottery kiosk or caramel vending, register the business that receives the greatest benefits or that the owner considers the most important.
257. If a person is a government employee, of an autonomous, municipal, or decentralized service entity, write down without exception the name of these institutions where they work, such as: Ministry of Public Works, Department of National Parks, Ancap, Department of Combustibles, National Administration of Ports, Department of Accounting, etc.
258. If a person has the same occupation in more than one business or industry, the type of establishment where the greatest remuneration is received should be noted. For example, in the case of a bookkeeper who does the books for a glass factory, a feminine articles shop, and a transportation company, and he receives the largest income from the glass factory, this will have to be noted as the "industry of principal activity". It is understood that this does not concern a person in an accounting office who has a varied clientele -- the same is true for any other professional (doctor, dentist, etc.).
259. If a person does their job in a company that supports two or more different industrial activities, that industrial activity with which the person is directly linked should be written down, since it is a principal activity of the company and not a supplementary activity.
Examples:
a) In the case of a company that has a refrigerator factory and one that makes furniture, an employee will be written down as industry of principal activity: "refrigerator factory", or "furniture factory", according to which of these industries the employee works for.
b) If a textile factory has its own electric plant that supplies the necessary motorized power, a person who works in this factory will be written down as industry of principal activity: "textile factory", and not "electric plant", because the plant is an supplementary activity of the factory.
260. With respect to domestic employees, they will be written down as industry of principal activity: "family house", or "collective dwelling".

Working for a wage/salary: worker or employee; a person who works for an employer (public or private) and receives a remuneration in the form of a salary, payments in installments or in kind. If he is a public salaried worker, the following question will be asked; if he is a private salaried worker you will go on to question
Member of a cooperative: person who is cooperative, whatever the productive activity to which the cooperative is dedicated. If this is the response you will go on to question 75.
Employer: person who operates his own economic business and has one or more salaried or day laborers under his charge. If this is the response, you will go on to question 75.
Self-employed: person who without depending on an employer operates his own economic business without having remunerated workers, allowing for one or more family workers that are not remunerated. There is a distinction between those who have some installation or investment in order to carry out the activity (with premise) and those who don't possess it (a premise). In both questions, you will go on to question 75.

23. By employment status we mean that a person is self-employed, employs others, is employed by someone or works on the family farm in the family business without actually being paid. All these terms will be further explained below.
24. The employment status will be determined by the status of the person during the reference period. If a person worked on more than one job during the reference period, then the employment status of that person will be determined according to the job on which he/she. spent more time. For example, if a person was employed in a garage as a mechanic for 7 months (as an employee), but drove his own car as a taxi driver (self employed) for 5 months, then he will be classified as an employee. If he was an employee in the garage for 6 months and drove the taxi for 6 months i.e. the time spent in different jobs being the same, then you will determine his status on the basis of the job from which he received more income.

Employer (Code 1)
25. An employer is a person who, while himself working in his own business or farm, also employs other persons to assist him and pays those people wages or salaries in cash or kind. For such a person code 1 is to be entered in the employment status box (P-21).
Examples:
26. A person who is assisted by his own family members whom he does not pay any wages or salaries is not an employer as his family members are unpaid family workers. He is to be classfied as 'self-employed'. On the other hand, if he pays wages or salary to his own family member(s) who runs his business then he is an employer and his family member(s) will be classified as an employee(s).
27. Only those employing others help to run their business or farm will be classified as employers. Those employing domestic servants or security guards, etc., for looking after their household properties are not to be classified as employers unless they also employ someone for the sake of their business operations. Do not classify salaried managers of large companies which they do not own as employers. Similarly personnel officers and other senior officials of companies, parastatal organisations and Government departments are themselves employees who get salaries.

Ordinarily such persons will have their own place of business and determine their own hours of work and work programme. These persons may do other people's work by fixing an hourly rate or on the basis of the job itself. These could be partners.

The fact that members of a person's household may assist him in his work without receiving any remuneration does not alter his employment status as 'self-employed' because he is not employing them. However, if he pays wages or a salary to any member of his household, in that case he is employing that member and this relationship (employer/employee) will then be recorded.
