Answer Questions 20 to 45 for each person aged 15 and over, that is, for each person born before June 4, 1976.


Question 45: Income in 1990

Information on income provides the most important indicator or the well-being of Canadians: of men and women, young and old, of trades and office workers, artists and scientists and of families and households. No other source - not even income tax records - can provide this level of detail.
Governments use the detailed analysis made possible by the census to develop income support programs, welfare provisions and social services.
Businesses use census income data in marketing products, in locating retail and wholesale sites near the appropriate groups of consumers, and in developing new products and services.

Statistics Canada does not publish personalized income information. The information collected from these questions is used to look at general trends and does not in any way identify individuals.
Information on this census questionnaire is strictly confidential by law and no individual, government department or agency outside of Statistics Canada has access to it. The Statistics Act prohibits Statistics Canada from disclosing any information that can be related to any individual person or company.
Answer every part of this question whether or not a person was working. For each part, the income reported should be the total money income received during the calendar year 1990. For persons who had no income, mark the circle labelled No. In the case of a loss, report the amount in the box provided and mark the circle labelled Loss.
If unsure of an answer, consult relevant documents such as income tax returns. Otherwise, make your best estimate.
For persons who received income from abroad, report this income in Canadian dollars. However, for persons who immigrated to Canada after January 1, 1990, do not report any income received before arrival in Canada.
Do not report either the Family Allowances (baby bonuses) received from the federal and provincial governments or the Child Tax Credits. These allowances and credits will be estimated for each family from the number of children shown on the questionnaire.
Do not include as income: gambling gains and losses, lottery prizes, money inherited during the year in a lump sum, capital gains or losses, receipts from the sale of property, income tax refunds, loan payments received, lump-sum settlements of insurance policies, rebates received on property taxes or refunds of pension contributions.

VII Economic characteristics

In this section some of the economic characteristics of the population of work age (12 years old or older) are found out; which are related to socio-demographic and cultural information about the population, that permit us to know the socioeconomic situation of people and households.

[graphic of the question from the census form]

The information obtained in this section permits us to know, in a specific reference period (the week before the interview), how the work force [p. 119] in the country is formed, that is, who worked or looked for work; about the first jobs, what is done in the occupation, how many hours are worked, what are the incomes, the relation with the employer, etc.

Also in the population of 12 years old or older it is meant to distinguish who receives income by different sources at the job and the importance of these perceptions.


7.10 and 7.11 Other income

The objective of these questions is to distinguish people 12 years old or older who receive income through retirement, pension, help from family members outside of the country, support from Procampo, grants or help from other institutions, rent or interests from banks in regular or habitual form.

Other income is considered those that the person receives regularly, in a weekly, bi weekly, monthly, every other month, four monthly or annually form. Although occasionally the time period can vary with what is given (for example, help from family members who live abroad), but continue being regular.

Do not consider the following cases as other income:

- What a person receives and is obliged to pay back like: loans, mortgages, money withdrawn from credit cards, credits, etc.
- Money provided from the sale of properties: houses, land, furniture, among others or of savings, like: canceling savings accounts, group income, prizes, lotteries, etc.

[p. 140]

- The income provided from family members of the same household or who live within the country to avoid a duplication of incomes
- What people receive very occasionally or one time in their life.
- Income received for maintenance (food, clothing, education, of children because of a separation or divorce).

Question 7.10 has seven answer options, which should be read to the informant to find out if the person received any income or more than one. Because of this, the asking of the question permits us to register up to a maximum of three options (columns 7.10A, 7.10B, 7.10C). The options are described below.

[graphic of the question from the census form]

retired or pensioned?...1

It is understood to be people who receive an income from any institution of social security like IMSS or ISSSTE, because they have finished their years of work, by age or because they had a professional accident (from working) and because of that have been retired or pensioned.

Also include pensioned family members (spouse or small children) who receive an orphan, widowed or pension, or another when the worker has died.

[p. 141]

help from family members from another country?...2

It is understood to be people who regularly receive economic help from family members who live outside of the country (United States, Canada, etc.) like children, parents, brothers and other family members.

Do not take into account income the people receive from family members who live in the country or in the same household.

rent or interest from bank?...3

It refers to people who receive a regular income for the renting of any property like: houses, land, pieces of land, among others or by interests derived from banking accounts.

Income by interests from banks is always considered to be what the person receives from the bank regularly.

aid from Procampo?...4

It is understood to be people (agriculture producers of basic cultivation) who receive economic support for being incorporated into the Program of direct support to the field (Procampo). This income is only considered if the person has received it and knows for certain that it will be received again.

grant or aid from other institutions?...5

It is understood to be people who regularly receive monetary income from a grant, to support studying expenses, (from the basic level to specialization). For example: scholarships to students awarded by the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) or other public or private, national or international organizations like: National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt), Ford Foundation, among others.

other type?...6

It is understood to be people who receive monetary income in a regular manner, provided from other sources different than the ones previously mentioned. Remember not to include people who receive pension for maintaining children of separated or divorced parents, also the help of family members who live in the country.

When you write this code, specify the type of income that the person receives in the part for observations.

[p. 142]

None?...7

It is understood to be people who do not receive monetary income from any of the sources mentioned. When this is the case, go to the next person and if the last of the list, continue with section VIII Social subsidies, health services and disability.

If a person does not know or remember the source from which the income is received, write down 9 in column 7.10A.

Question 7.11 has the goal of finding out the income received and the period for each one of the options written down in question 7.10.

[graphic of the question from the census form]

The question can register information for three types of income. Each time you ask the question, replace the parenthesis for the option marked in 7.10 and ask for the period in which each income was received.

For example: if the person in 7.10 declares to receive income for retirement from IMSS and also economic aid from his son who lives in the United States, ask the question in the following manner:

Interviewer: How much does María receive from retirement.
Informant: 800 monthly
Interviewer: How much does María receive from the help that her son in United States sends her?
Informant: 100 dollars a month.
Interviewer: How much do they give her for each dollar?
Informant: Six pesos for a dollar.

[p. 143]

Then the information should be registered as below:

[graphic of the question from the census form]

The same as question 7.9 Income for work, this one includes four periods, (once a week, once every other week, once a month and once a year), to register the time period in which the income is received.

If a person says that the money or income is received in a different period than those considered, make the conversion of the amount to refer to it in one of the marked periods.

Example

A student receives income from a scholarship and the value is $720.00, corresponding to four months. To register the information, convert one of the indicated periods, in this case it can be annually or monthly. If you opt for annually, multiply 720 x 3 and register 2160 in the Income column and 4 (year) in the Period column. In the case of choosing monthly, divide 720 by 4 and write down 180 in the Income column and 3 (month) in the Period column.

When an informant declares an income equal to or bigger than 98000 new pesos, write down "98000."

If an informant does not remember or can not say exactly the value of income, ask for an estimate. If it is not possible to determine it, write down 99999 in the income column and 9 in the period column.

For persons 10 years old or older
(Apply to questions 14 to 25)

The questions that form this Section are meant to get information about the participation of the population 10 years old or older in the economic activities of this country.
The questions relating to the chapter are applied to the situation existing in the week immediately before the day of the Census (reference week). Reference week is defined below:
Definition of "Reference Week" or "Last Week": It is the complete calendar week, from Sunday to Saturday that, for census purposes goes from May 4, 1980 to May 10, 1980.
The answers obtained in question 13 are the basis for classifying the population of persons 10 years old or older as:
1. Economically active (employed and unemployed).
2. Not economically active (homemaker, student, disabled, retired, pensioner, rentier, others inactive).


[p. 80]

1. Economically active population
This group is understood to be the population of 10 years old or older who supply the workforce available for the production of goods and services of the country and is divided into Employed and Unemployed.

1.1 Employed Population: is understood to be persons who:

a) Have an occupation or job remunerated in money or in kind, during the reference week.
b) Have a private business or job on their own account. Example: The owner of a grocery store, the farmer, the lawyer who has his own practice, etc.
c) Works regularly in a business or company of a member of their family even when not drawing a wage or salary (Contributing family worker).
d) Sell tickets, newspapers, or any other article; make food to sell; wash cars; shine shoes; sew in their house for others; the kind of work, time worked or amount of money that they receive during the reference week does not matter.
e) Have a steady remunerated job but do not work during the reference week because of temporary circumstances: sickness or accident; vacation; work conflicts such as: bad weather; machine breakdowns, strike, on leave, etc.

1.2 Unemployed population: This group constitutes persons who do not have a remunerated occupation or job during reference week, but:

a) Have worked before and look for work (visits employment agencies or offices in search of work, consults friends about the availability of work, is relying on ads in newspapers, that is to say, makes the effort with the goal of finding employment).


[p. 81]

b) Are not looking for work because they have a job that will begin on a previously appointed date.
c) Look for their first job or that is "New Workers". The oldest age for a "New Worker" is 45.

2. Not economically active population
This group is understood to be the flowing persons:

2.1 Homemaker: The person who is dedicated only and exclusively to domestic tasks and chores in their own home and were not looking for work, nor were they retired, pensioned, living on investments, or attending school. In a dwelling there can be more than one homemaker.
2.2 Student: The person who is dedicated exclusively to studying.
2.3 Invalid: The person who is found to be physically or mentally impeded from working.
2.4 Retired: The person who has stopped working and is receiving retirement income.
2.5 Pensioned, rentier: The person who receives auxiliary or pensioned income (pensioned). Equally include in this group all the persons who without working receive money or investments from a business or company (rentier). Do not include persons who receive pension for food, divorce, etc.
2.6 Retired without benefits: Include in this group the persons who in some opportunity had a job but currently are separated from all type of economic activity without receiving retirement benefits or a pension.
2.7 Other condition: The person who without being classified in any of the groups above does not do any economic activity and remains idle.

When classifying the population, special care should be taken with the persons of the female sex who declare themselves to be "Homemaker" and those who declare themselves to be [p. 82] students. In the first case they sometimes also do remunerated jobs like: cleaning, ironing, sewing, styling hair, painting fingernails, making candy etc. in their own home or outside it but because they spend little time in these labors they forget to give this information.
On the other hand, some students after class or on weekends dedicate themselves to cleaning shoes, selling newspapers, washing cars etc. Equal care should be taken with the spouse or companion or the children of farm families, who regularly help with the agricultural labors but do not declare this job.
For reasons already explained, it is necessary that before classifying the population, the enumerator investigates more to find out if the parson did some work during the reference week. If is made known that the person worked during this period, even when it was part time, it should be classified as Employed, that corresponds to the population who is Economically Active.


Question 24 What wage or salary do you currently earn?

Only for the employee who declared an occupation in question 17

This question only for persons who declared to have worked the week before the census (Box 1 of question 14) in the condition of [i.e., as an] employee (boxes 1, 2, 3 or 4 of question 20).
To get the following information, follow the instructions that are described below:

1) For employees, the questions refers to the wage, gross salary or commission obtained in the occupation declared in question 17, without deductions of Social Security, Income Taxes, Education Insurance or any other deduction like a loan from a bank or other credit institution.


[p. 92]

Make the annotation in the questionnaire according to the type of payment that the person declared, in other words, if the payment is received hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or by commission.

Examples:

a) If the salary is established at ninety cents per hour, make the annotation in the following form, even when that payment is paid weekly.

1 Hourly B/0/90

b) If the salary is established at two hundred Balboas monthly, make the following annotation, even when the payment is paid every two weeks

4 Monthly B/200/00

2) For persons who work for "commission", write down in the corresponding space what was received by commission in the last month.
3) When the person declares go earn a "fixed wage" and "commission", write down both pieces of information in the corresponding boxes.


Question 25 What was your total money income last month?

Remember that this question refers to the population of 10 years old or older both economically and non-economically active.
Include the wage or salary, the business or company earnings, sale of agricultural or cattle products, lottery winnings, private bets, pensions, retirement payments, grants, rent from houses, bingo or casino winnings, etc.
Write down in the corresponding space the answer that the person gives you.

Important observations about questions 14 to 21:
Questions 14 to 21, which form part of this section, are meant for getting information about the participation of the population of 10 years old or older in economic activities of the country. It is recommended that each member of the home respond for themselves. If this is not possible, the Head or responsible adult could respond for the youngest, but it is preferable to insist that the adult members respond for themselves.
The information refers to the week before the Census. This week is defined as the reference week and is understood to be from Sunday to Saturday.


Questions 15 to 21 should be asked to all persons who were marked in any of the circles 01 to 05 of question 14. Except to persons who answered that they have never worked in question 15.


Question Number 21: What was your income last month from:

a. Wage or gross salary?
b. Income from independent work or by your own account?
c. Farm or livestock sales?
d. Retirement payment, pension, grants, family aid, rent, investments, or subsidies?
e. Without income

Read every one of the alternatives and wait for the response of the person. If there is no income in any of the alternatives draw a diagonal line. Below is detailed what should be included in each alternative of the question.
a. Wage or gross salary: refers to the wage, gross salary or commission obtained in the occupation that the person did last month, without deductions of Social Security, Income Tax, Education Insurance, or whatever other deduction from loans from a bank or other credit institution. When the person earned fixed wage and commission, add the two amounts and write down the result in the corresponding space.
Put a zero in front when the amount is less than 1,000, Example:


[Below the text is a filled out form.]

[p. 74]

For employees of the agricultural and livestock sector, ask for the whole gross salaries for all days worked last month and add those salaries earned during the time that they worked and write down the corresponding amount.
Example:
When enumerating a dwelling, it is found that one of its members worked in the agriculture and livestock sector in neighboring farms for 12 days. The payment received was B / 3.00 for 5 days and B / 4.00 the rest of the days worked, for which the calculation carried out is 3 Balboas for 5 days plus 4 Balboas for 7 days = B / 43.00. the salary to write down will be:

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

If a person is not sure or does not know the wage or salary of another person who is not present, with much tact, ask for last month's pay stub. If the checkbook corresponds to a week, multiply the gross total by 4.33 and if it is of every other week, multiply the gross total by 2.
If a person refuses to give a wage or salary, write down 9999 in the corresponding space
Example:
If you are enumerating a dwelling in the administrative unit Bella Vista and one of the members of the home who worked in a private company says that they do not know how much they earned, which is a subtle and indirect way of refusing to give the information, try to convince the person in a confidential way that they [the private company] have their information and use any other means of persuasion to get the required information. If you cannot obtain the information by any other means, write down the numbers 9999 in the following manner:


[p.75]

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

b. Income from independent job or by their own account: refers to the net income, or that is deposits minus expense withdrawals in the business received by the person who worked for their own account or as employer.
Example:
When enumerating an owner of a grocery store, he states that he sold more or less B / 250.00 in merchandise a day, but that the net gain is B / 15.00 a day. It did not close any day of the month. The income to be written down will be (15 x 30):


[Below the text is a filled out form.]

[p. 76]

c. Agricultural and livestock sales: refers to sales of agricultural and livestock products that an agricultural or livestock worker made during the last month.
Example:
Mr. Victor Corrales who is a farmer, last month sold 300 lbs of corn at B / 10.00, 1000 lbs of rice at B / 12.00. Also he sold 3 chickens at B / 6.00 a head. The carried out calculation is 3 times 10 = B / 30.00 plus 10 times 12 = B / 120.00 plus 3 times 6 = B / 18.00 = B / 168.00. The income to be written down will be:

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

d. Retirement payments, pensions, grants, family aid, rent, investments or subsidies: refers to income received by a retired or pensioned person such as a food pension that one of the spouses receives from the other because of being separated, like food payments for the children that they have had in common.
It also includes here all contributions that one of many of the members of the home can receive from family members (not belonging to the home), or other persons such as public or private institutions. The contributions can be in money or in kind (goods or services). In this last case, the values should be calculated and written down in Balboas. Example[s] of this type of income are: milk or other food that children in schools or children's centers receive, food and goods donations by social aide or state programs; money, clothes, food or any other goods that can be received by being non resident parents or relatives in the interviewed dwelling, etc. The number to write down should be the final result of all the contributions that the person would be able to receive in this heading. Include also the money received by any renting of dwellings or places, land or any other property that the person owns and the dividends, interests, or benefits from stocks, bonds and savings accounts or investments. Do not forget to ask if there is any scholarship holder and if there is one under 10 years old, write down the information about the head of home.

Section A:

To be completed for each person in the household in a separate column. Remember to include babies. Please include yourself.


20. Should be answered for everyone in the household

It is important to establish the spending power of the population, in order to measure and understand the economy. Therefore the census needs information on the income of all people.
Think of the past year (1 October 1995 to 30 September 1996) and the money each person received. Please indicate each person's income category before tax. Answer this question by indicating each person's weekly, monthly or annual income. Include all sources of income, for example housing loan subsidies, bonuses, allowances such as car allowances and investment income. If the person receives a pension or disability grant, please include this amount.
For example, if the person wants to indicate a weekly income and has an income of R270 per week, circle 5 in the appropriate column under his/her name; if the person wants to indicate an annual income and has an income of R55 000 per annum, circle 9 in the column for that person.

Question P-22 -- Income category

"What is the income category that best describes the gross income of (the person) before tax?"

Read the categories out to the first respondent.

Identify the income from one of the two tables, and enter the code. Both tables are provided so that people can answer in terms of monthly or annual income. The resulting code will be the same, e.g:
an annual income level of R20 000 is category 05.
a monthly income of R3000 is also category 05.


The reference period for annual income is 1 October 2000 until 31 September 2001, and for monthly income September 2001.

Gross income means income before tax or deductions.

Income from investments, private business, etc. should be included. Income from the sale of home-grown produce or home-brewed beer or cattle should also be included. If any of these activities have brought in income for the household as a whole rather than for a particular person, simply add the amount to the income of someone in the household.

If the household has received remittances or payments e.g. from a person working or living elsewhere, add this income to the total of someone, e.g. the head of the household.

[P. 56]

Even a small child can have an income in the form of a child maintenance grant.

It is not necessary to be very exact because the income categories are relatively broad. If the income varies during the year, take the average.

You can show the prompt card on the back of the 09 book to help the respondent to identify the total income. The prompt card is useful when people do not want to say their income aloud in front of other household members.

(P-52) Income category: What is the income category that best describes the gross monthly or annual income of (the person) before deductions and including all sources of income?
Read the monthly or annual categories out to the person or show him/her the questionnaire and ask him/her to indicate a category. Fill in the correct code either under Monthly or under Annual in the corresponding block.

Both tables are provided so that people can answer in terms of monthly or annual income.

The resulting code will always be the same, e.g. an annual income of R36 000 will have a code of 05 as will a monthly income of R3000. Similarly a monthly income of R250 will have a code of 02 as will an annual income of R3000.

[p.59]

For those who receive a daily, weekly or fortnightly wage, multiply by 30, 4 or 2 respectively to get the monthly income.

If the respondent is unwilling to give income information, remind him/her that the information is strictly confidential and that there is no way that a response could be traced back to a specific individual. If the respondent still refuses, write code 13.

H. Section VIII - Housing

This section, comprising eight questions - numbered 36 to 43 inclusive - must be marked on the questionnaire for the head of the household only.

79. Question 46 - Total income

This question is divided into two parts. The first part refers to the last pay period, and the second part to the total income received for the pay period marked above.

Remember that many people do not like to tell others how much money they earn, often they do not even tell their own family or friends. You must therefore be tactful if you are to get the questions answered correctly and willingly. You must emphasize that it is not intended to pry into the private affairs of the individual and that the information is required only to work out estimated averages for the whole country.

Since in some cases respondents would not tell even their own families how much they work for correctly, if at all, you should not expect such a respondent to tell you how much he earned in the presence of others. You should therefore be on guard for such cases and try as far as possible to get this information from the respondent by himself or herself. Your marks must indicate the person's gross income from all sources for the last pay period.

In general there are two types of income to be dealt with. The first is wages and salaries, that is earnings as a paid employee. Commission, overtime payments, bonuses, and any other extras must be included, before deductions for taxes, etc. are made - in wages and salaries.

The second type covers income as an own-account worker or employer, i.e. a person who has his own business or farm, with or without paid help. For these persons total receipts from their business farm or profession must be marked
[p.23]
Where a person receives income as a paid employee as well as an own-account worker or employer, the total income from all these sources must be marked.

Part (a) Pay period

Mark here whether the total income below relate to a week, fortnight, month, quarter or year.

Part (b) Total income

Your marks here must be in relation to the last pay period marked above and should be to the nearest dollar $.

Four rows of figures are printed on the questionnaire. You are required to make a mark in each row.

The first row represents "thousands", the second row represents "hundreds" the third row represents "tens" and the fourth row "units".

Hereunder are some examples:

A person who earned $25 in his last pay period must be marked:-

"0" in the first row "0" in the second row, "20" in the third row and "5" in the fourth row.

Another person earned $129 in his last pay period must be marked:-

"0" in the first row, "100" in the second row, "20" in the third row and "9" in the fourth row.

A person carrying on his own business or farm reports that for the past year he earned $2,706.

You should mark "year" in part (a) to represent the last pay period and part (b) should be marked.

"2000" in the first row, "700" in the second row, "0" in the third row and "6"in the fourth row.

Section 10 - Income

The census is a major source of collecting income data for all persons and their families and households in Trinidad and Tobago. This section seeks to obtain information on the amount of and distribution of income earned by households. Income can also be related to other characteristics of persons in households for example occupation, industry and level of educational attainment.

Census income data are widely used by government to develop support programmes, public social assistance, welfare payments and social services. Income data are also used to identify specific geographic communities in need of assistance. Business enterprises also use income data to help market their products and target consumers to sell other goods and services produced.

[p.60]

Remember income is defined as sources of benefits in both cash and kind accruing to the members of the household regardless of whether the members are economically active or not.

It is important to keep in mind that many persons are hesitant to tell others how much money they earn. You must therefore be tactful if you are to get the question answered correctly or willingly. You may need to emphasize or explain that the information is required to work out average income per individual for the entire country. If members of the household are still uncomfortable giving the exact amount of their income, use the income flash card provided by the Census Office as a last resort. Record the code that represent the income group to which the individual belongs.

In other cases, the head of the household may genuinely not be aware of the income of the other members. In cases like these, an effort must be made to obtain the information directly from the relevant member of the household. Perhaps an appointment can be made to meet the individual.

This Section is applicable to all persons 15 years and over whether working or not and is intended to reflect the situation at the time of enumeration. You are to obtain income data to complete items (1), (2), (3) and (7). Multiple entries are possible for any one individual.

Question 41 (1) - Paid employment

Income from paid employment include wages, salaries and other benefits in cash or in kind earned by individuals before deductions for social security schemes and income taxes. It also covers payments as commissions, tips and bonuses, cost of living allowances, vacation allowances, director's fees and the cost to employees of food, lodging, clothing which is provided free of charge or at a reduced cost. In other words, the total compensation package of the individual is recorded.

Question 41 (2) - Self-employment

For the self-employed, income reported should be net income i.e. total income less business operating expenses such as wages, rent, electricity and fuel. These persons may be those who operate agricultural operations, in addition to those who own and operate unincorporated business and persons in professional practice.

Question 41 (3) - Pension and annuities

Private and government pensions and annuities can be described as retirement benefits that individuals receive upon retirement to replace their earnings.

Many employers have established pension programmes for their employees so that upon retirement the employees will still receive some source of income. Included in pensions is the government's old age pension granted to senior citizens.

[p.61]

An annuity is a pension policy that the individual takes out or purchases on his or her own. These payments are usually made in a lump sum and then at a reduced monthly payment over a certain number of years.

Question 41 (7) - Other income

Is described as monies, which an individual receives from sources other than his/her wages, salaries, pensions and annuities. Other Income includes rent received, dividends, interest (investment income) and royalties. Periodic payments received regularly from an inheritance or trust fund are also regarded as Income, as well as alimony, unemployed benefits, sick pay, scholarships and remittances from abroad.

The following items should not be regarded as income:

Receipts from sale of possessions,
Withdrawals from savings,
Loans,
Tax refunds,
Maturity payments on Insurance policy,
Lump-sum compensation for injury,

For item, 1,2,3,7 income is recorded to the nearest dollar For example, $5000 is entered as _5000. Obtain from the respondent for each or any item indicated, whether the income relates to a daily (01), weekly (02), fortnightly (03), monthly (04), quarterly (05) or annually (06) period. These codes are inserted against each type of income recorded. If income is given monthly enter 04.
