Self-employed
A person who works in their own business or economic enterprise, which may or may not have paid employees.
Worker in Basic Cooperative Production Unit (UBPC)
The Basic Cooperative Production Units (UBPC) are cooperative social production organizations whose fundamental difference with the CPAs is that the land is owned in usufruct.
A member of a UBPC belongs to the Agricultural Union, not to the National Association of Small Farmers (ANAP) as is the case with Cooperatives.
This box includes people working in such organizations.
CPA Worker
The fundamental distinguishing feature is collective ownership of the means of production.
This includes what were previously known as "small farmers," their families, collaborators, and farm workers united within the Agricultural Production Cooperatives (CPA).
Workers in other Cooperatives
The fundamental distinguishing feature is collective ownership of the means of production.
All workers in non-agricultural cooperatives are grouped here.
Small farmers, whether or not they are associated with the Credit and Service Cooperative (CCS)
This includes people who both own the land and work it, whether or not they have salaried employees or unpaid family assistants. These may or may not be associated with the CCS, or may be independent farmers.
Remember that only the landowner is considered a "Small Farmer," and not the family members or other employees.
In the cases of heirs who have not liquidated their inheritance (who have not legally carried out the partition of land) and continue working on the farm, they will be considered "Small Farmers."
This category will never include full-time salaried employees or unpaid family members that work the land of said farmers, as they will be considered "Private Employees" if they receive payment (in money or in kind) or as an "Unpaid Family Assistant."
Part-time salaried workers contracted by the Small Farmer will not be included either; they will be classified as "Self-employed workers without contracted employees."

[p. 67]

Beneficial owner of land associated or not associated with CCS
This includes people who are not the owner of the land which they work, whether or not they have salaried workers, and as a rule they are members of the Credit and Service Cooperatives (CCS).
This category will never include full-time salaried employees or unpaid family members that work the land of said farmers, as they will be considered "Private or Household Employees" if they receive payment (in money or in kind) or as an "Unpaid Family Assistant."
Part-time salaried workers contracted by the Beneficial Owner of the land will not be included either; they will be classified as "Self-employed workers without contracted employees."
Permanently or temporary contracted for agricultural activities
This is a person hired by a Small Farmer no a permanent or temporary basis to carry out labor related to agriculture or livestock, such as planting, weeding, harvesting, looking after animals, etc.
Privately contacted, non-agricultural, including household work
Those who work in a private workplace or household and receive compensation either in kind or in the form of pay (salary, commissions, or job-by-job), and others. This includes those who are individually employed.
This includes priests and other clergy of various beliefs who regularly perform services of this type, educational, etc., and receive income for this work (donations and others).
Not to be confused with unpaid family assistants, who constitute a separate category.
Unpaid family assistant
This includes people who regularly work for others to whom they are related by consanguinity, affinity or adoption, and do not explicitly receive a salary (monetary or in kind) for their work, even if they receive food; so long as they have worked less than 8 throughout the previous week (reference week).
