Unemployed: other than those persons seeking employment, included in this group are those who are not working and not looking for work, because of a temporary illness, because the person has made arrangements for a job to begin at a future date, or because the person is temporarily or permanently without paid employment.

Household duties: this category includes all persons dedicated exclusively to the care of their own home; e.g. housewives and other relatives who are in charge of caring for the house and children. Domestic servants are considered to be "employed".

If a person receives retirement or pension [payments], he or she is considered to be "retired" or "pensioned".

Student: those who are not working because they are attending school (any educational center). If studying and carrying out a paid occupation or job, they are considered to be "employed".

Rentier: those who do not work but receive money from rents coming from a business or company, interests, etcetera.

Disabled: those who cannot work because they suffer a physical or mental defect.

Sick: those who suffer from an illness whose cure requires long-term care or rest.

Religious: the condition of persons who consider themselves to be in such a condition [in religious service]. This can be in spite of the fact that these persons carry out, or carried out, even without direct remuneration, occupations that are usually remunerated; such as: teaching, assisting the sick or indigent, administering, etc.

Imprisoned: those who are in penal or correctional facilities, barracks, etc., carrying out a sentence or punishment, military service, etc.
