13. What did you do during the greater part of the week of September 21st to 26th?

1. In this section of the form, all persons should respond who are [10] years old and [more] (consult the census form).

[p.161]

2. The Census will take place on September 30.

You will ask each person who you are enumerating: What did you do during the majority of the week from September 21 to 26.

The question refers to the week immediately [before] the "Census Day."

[p.162]

3. To complete the following box, consult the census form, question number 13.

The concept of "the majority of last week" refers to [4] normal work shifts, according to the occupation that the person practices, or if he/she worked more than [35] hours a week.

[p.163]

4. Observe that the question number 13 includes ten alternatives that are listed in a column. Once you have read question number 13, without waiting for an answer, begin reading each of the ten choices. If the person answers affirmatively to the choices 1, 2, or 3, you should mark the corresponding box and then continue with the question 14.

Miss Garcia answers "Yes" to choice 2 (Didn't work, but had employment?). You mark [x]2 and move immediately to question number [14].

[p.164]

5. When you enumerate Mr. Pereira you ask: What did you do during the majority of the week from September 21 to 26? Immediately, without waiting for an answer, begin to read the ten possible options. When you read the first (worked?), Mr. Pereira answers, "yes." You mark this answer [x]1, and immediately move on to question number [14].

[p.165]

6. If a person answering the census answers "Yes" to the alternative [1], [2] or [3], you move on to question 14, then mark the respective box.

But if person answering the census answers "Yes" to any of the alternative 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, you move directly to question number 17.

For all of the persons 14 years and more

[Questions 10-15 were asked of persons age 14 and older.]

As it is expressed in the questionnaire, you will ask a question once in the order indicated, until obtaining an affirmative response. You will ask questions 11, 12 and 13, only if you obtained a response to one of the first three alternatives of this question.

If you obtained a response starting with the fourth alternative, you will go directly to question 14.

17. During the past week, did you work, even if it was for just a few hours?

Code "1" is written for those people who are looking for a job for the first time, and for those people who have looked for a job for many times code "2" is written.

Every person must answer must answer either by marking or with words about the
predominant livelihood. However, only one answer is allowed--as is clearly noted on the persons sheet.

Whoever works 14 hours weekly on average is considered as "employed".

For a person who is a family member assisting in a family business, especially for housewives, who assist with the business of their husband, for pensioned persons with a side job and for working students it is often difficult to determine if they are employed. In such cases, it is noted in the explanations as a decision making aid, a minimum average weekly time of 14 hours [is required]. Any persons who works less, is "unemployed". Any person who therefore works 14 or more hours a week on average, is considered as employed.

With Question 10 it is decided, which questions on the right half of the persons sheet must be answered. If "employed" was marked, then all questions on the right-hand side of the sheet should be answered. If "Child, pupil, student" was marked, then questions 12 through 14 for the currently attended school should be answered--omitted naturally are children who do not yet attend school. If "unemployed" or "active duty personnel" is marked, then all the questions on the right-hand side of the sheet up through question 14 should be answered (an employment therefore cannot be given for this person). As a result, give answers about the last practiced profession or the previously attended school.
If something different was marked or written in words in Question 10 (i.e. pensioner, retired person, or housewife, etc.), thus only Question 11 should be answered. For Question 10 of the persons sheet, compare also the test specimen on page 16.

Persons under 15 years of age are not required to answer this question.

10. Are you: the situation in the last weeks prior to the census day applies in answering this question: in cases of doubt, the situation on May 15, 1991 applies.

Question 11:
General instructions:
Please put an "X" in all boxes applicable to you and note the references to further questions.
Example: A housewife with marginal part-time employment puts an "X" in both boxes. The note next to "Marginally employed part time" indicates that the person should proceed to questions 12 to 15 and answer them.

Instructions for individual groups of persons:
Gainfully employed persons: Persons over 15 years of age who do paid work at least 1 hour per week or help in a family business without being formally paid are deemed to be gainfully employed.

A person who does just voluntary work is not deemed to be gainfully employed.

Whether you have full-time, part-time or marginally part-time employment depends on how many hours a week you work on average. If you work several jobs, you should add up the total number of hours worked per week and mark the appropriate box

Answer questions 12 to 15 for this gainful employment (if several part-time positions are held, for the job involving the most working hours.)

Exceptions: Teachers with a full-time teaching position and judges put an "X" next to "gainfully employed full time" even if their work week is less than 32 hours. This is also true of workers in businesses with "short-time working" arrangements (i.e. temporarily reduced working hours).

The unemployed: Persons over 15 years of age who were previously employed and who are seeking work or an apprenticeship position are deemed to be unemployed regardless of whether or not they receive unemployment benefits. Seasonally unemployed persons (e.g. waiters who are without a job between the summer season and the winter season) are deemed to be unemployed unless they pursue other work in the intervening period (in the period around May 15) (e.g. helping out on the family farm).

Persons undergoing practical training, e.g. apprentices, trainees, unpaid interns, pupils being trained for police work and for nursing, are deemed to be fully employed.

Persons undergoing vocational retraining put an "X" next to "gainfully employed full time" if they still hold their position or if they have health insurance through the public employment services agency (AMS) but should answer the questions 12 to 15 for their previous occupation (i.e. not "Public Employment Services Agency").

Persons attending vocational or professional preparatory courses put an "X" next to "pupil or university student" and answer the question 10.1 "School currently attended" and question 15.

Persons drawing special emergency relief assistance (Sondernotstandshilfe) are not deemed to be unemployed and put an "X" next to "Other means of livelihood."

This information is to be collected for each. Someone might have more than one occupation. In this case select the field which the respondent thinks as his main occupation. Works are divided into two groups on the basis of most of the times engaged in last month, so that the data can be collected easily.

Those who are "economically inactive" are classified into two categories:

"Economically active" is divided into 9 sectors:

27. Main field of Profession/work (last one week)

Question 27: Field of Main Activity: Some body may have multiple field of activity. In this case ask the respondent which one he likes as field of main activity. For the convenience of collecting information consider maximum time of engagement for the last week as follows:

24. Activity status

Question-24. Working Status:
Working status has been categorized into four categories such as working, looking for work, household work and do not work. Enter a cross in the box for 'engaged in work' for working, enter a cross in the box for 'looking for work' for persons who are not currently working but willing for work, enter a cross in the box for 'household work' for persons who are engaged in household work, and enter a cross in the box for 'do not work' for persons who do not work or are unable to work.

[If yes to question 15]
a) If you found a job, could you start working in the next 2 weeks?

b) Are you registered with the employment agency as unemployed?

[If no to question 15] Why not?

[If yes to question 15]
a) If you found a job, could you start working in the next 2 weeks?

b) Are you registered with the employment agency as unemployed?

[If no to question 15] Why not?

17. Did you work during the last week prior to census (7-13 October 2009 of the current year)? (any paid job or income-generating activity, unpaid job in family business)

17. Did you work during the last week prior to census (7-13 October 2009 of the current year)? (any paid job or income-generating activity, unpaid job in family business)

18. Have you been seeking employment during the last month before the population census (from 13 September till 13 October of the current year)?

17. Did you work during the last week prior to census (7-13 October 2009 of the current year)? (any paid job or income-generating activity, unpaid job in family business)

18. Have you been seeking employment during the last month before the population census (from 13 September till 13 October of the current year)?

(13) Type of activity____

Column (13): Type of activity
Ask the following question to each person of 10 or more years of age: What did you do during the month preceding the census?
Then report:

(18) Occupation

Columns (17) to (21): These columns are only for persons older than 10 i.e. born before February 1982.

Column (17): Marital Status
Is considered married, each individual whose union was celebrated in a civil, religious, or customary rite. The census agent shall circle the codes according to the interviewee's answer.

Now we would like to ask for information on you and the persons habitually living in your household or currently residing in your home

Residents of 6 years or more of age
[Questions in columns 18 - 22 were asked of residents 6+ years old]

(19) Occupation status

Column (18): Occupation
For all questions related to occupation, the census agent shall refer to the 3-month period immediately preceding the interview.
Ask the following question to each person of 10 years or more of age: "Have you worked for at least one week in the last 3 months?"
The census agent shall then circle:
The code 1. OCC (employed) for each person who has worked during this period.
Included in this category, are:

Note: a retired person or an annuitant who has helped a family member in his/her work or has performed another activity that generated him/her money shall be classified under the rubric of "OCC" i.e. employed. This is the case of retired persons who work in commerce or agriculture.
This question does not apply to those below 10 years of age during the census. The census agent must not note anything in this section for these persons.
Note: Apprentices are "employed"

Column (19): Occupation status
As the following question to each person aged 6 or higher: "Does [the respondent] currently work or has worked continuously for at least one week during the last three months?"
If the answer is YES, the census agent shall ask "if [the respondent] works in the informal sector, public formal sector, or private formal sector" and shall circle the code corresponding to the interviewee's declaration according to the following:

Example: Is occupied each person having worked for at least one week during the reference period. Are included in this category:

If the answer is NO, the census agent shall ask the following question:
"Has [the respondent] worked during the reference period?" If the answer is Yes, circle the code 4 corresponding to unemployed. If the answer is no, ask:
"Is [the respondent] a housewife, elementary or middle school/high school/university student, retired, rentier?" If the answer is yes, circle the appropriate code according to the following options below:

If the answer is NO, ask: "Is [the respondent] seeking first employment?" If yes, circle 3. CT (Seeking 1st employment or 1st job); if no, circle 9. AINA: other unemployed.
Important:

Note: If the circled code corresponds to one of the following options, go to column 23 (marital status).

21. Occupation status - Does [the person] currently work or has [the person] worked in the last 3 months for at least one continuous week?

This variable allows knowing whether a person has worked for at least 7 days [continuously or not] during the last 3 months preceding your visit in the household. In other words, the reference period is determined starting on the date of your first visit in the household. This means that you should count back 3 months starting with the date of your first visit, and those 3 months correspond to the reference period [3 months in this specific case equal 90 days].

This variable's categories are:

NB: The data on persons taking care of the household require particular attention, because some of their activities are considered part of the domain of production according to the definition of the National Accounting System and meaning that these persons have an employment [for example production and/or transformation of agricultural products, weaving, sewing], while they risk of being considered as not have an economic activity.

Q: "Have you/has [the respondent] exercised a good and services production activity in the last 3 months?"

If yes, ask:

NB: Apprentices are employed person and must be classified in the corresponding sectors: informal, formal private, or formal public.

If for question 21 [Occupation status], the response code if different from 0, 1, 2, or 3, do not ask questions number 22, 23, and 24. In this case, directly skip to questions number 25 [marital status].

Only for those 7 years of age and older

12. What did you do for the largest amount of your time during the last week (the week before the census date)?

Question 12. What did you do the main part of your time last week (before census day)?

When asking the question, read the alternatives in the indicated order, "Did you work?", "You did not work but had a job?" and so on, until obtaining a response; then, mark the respective box.

If you mark box 1, 2 or 3, ask questions 13, 14 and 15. If you mark one of the other boxes (4 to 8), go directly to question 16.

15. Of the following type of activity, which did you perform last week?

Question 15. Of the following types of activity, which did you perform last week?

When asking the question, read the alternatives slowly and in the order that they appear on the Form until you get an affirmative response. When this happens, move on to the next question (16) or jump to question 19, depending on the alternative that you marked. The alternative should be marked in accordance with the following considerations:

0. Did you work last week?

This is a person who performed compensated work during the week in question, continuously or incidentally, accepting as work even activities performed for an hour or more during the week in question. Household domestic employees are included in this category. Furthermore, uncompensated family employees and apprentices are also included in this category.

1. Did you not work but had a job? (Leave, sickness, vacation, etc.)

When the person being enumerated has a job or business, but during the week in question did not work because they were on leave, on vacation, sick, temporarily absent, etc.

2. Did you perform tasks in the house and work?

When the person dedicates himself to the tasks of the home and also performed some activity, even if it was for an hour such as: selling food, handicrafts; washing, sewing or ironing for money, or helping with field work, [p. 43] planting, harvesting, or taking care or animals.

3. Did you look for work, having worked previously? (Unemployed)

This is a person who didn't work last week and actively looked for work. This person, currently unemployed, necessarily must have worked before in order to be considered within this category.

4. Did you look for work for the first time?

This is appropriate for the person who, without having worked previously, actively looked for work during the week previous to the Day of the Census.

5. Are you retired, a pensioner, or do you live off investments and did not work?

When the person receives a retirement pension, old-age benefits, or income and didn't perform any activity during the period in question.

6. Are you a student and didn't work?

When the person being enumerated devoted him/herself to study without performing any type of work.

7. Did you perform household chores and not work?

When the person devotes him/herself exclusively to household chores. People who work in compensated domestic service are not included in this category.

8. Others?

This includes those people who are not included in the previous classifications. Examples: in the case of disabled people or minors who neither work nor study.

Note: Questions 16, 17, and 18 should only be asked of those who answered within part a [responses 0 to 3] in question 15.

[p. 44]

People who responded to one of the questions in part b [responses 4 through 8] should go on to question 19.

42. Did you work last week?

Question 42. During the last week, did you work?

If the answer is "yes", the oval is filled in and the enumerator will skip to question 45.

[p. 66]

The following information will allow the enumerator to differentiate between what is considered to be work and the activities not considered to be work.

What is work?

• Work is the activity completed during the last week in the production or commercialization of goods and/or the providing of services that have an economic value in the market.
• A remuneration or income in money or in-kind is received in exchange for this work.
• A person is considered to have worked if at least one hour of work was completed during the last week.

• The activities carried out in an institution, company, or public or private office.
• The sale of articles in the street; either in a stand or as a mobile peddler.
• The lending of services to other persons, e.g. as a domestic worker, caring for children, cooking, cleaning, etc.
• Activities carried out in family businesses as helpers or apprentices without pay.

• Household duties in the home, carried out by household members; with or without remuneration.
• Un-paid volunteer work for the community.

43. During last week?

Question 43. During the last week...

The question should be presented by reading each option slowly and deliberately until reaching the question mark. When an answer is given, the oval is filled in and the next question is presented.

If the answer is one of the options 1 to 4, the enumerator will skip to question 45.

For example:

Juana says that she helps her mother in the food stand.

The form is filled out as follows:

[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form with appropriate ovals filled in.]

[p. 67]

If the person "did not work", the enumerator will proceed to question 44.

For example:

Juan, 19 years old, says that he studies to be an agricultural specialist and that he does not work.

The form is filled out as follows:

[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form with appropriate ovals filled in.]

There are activities carried out by women and children that are only considered to be collaboration or help but [these activities] are actually work. Because of this, it is important that all of the alternatives for this question be read.

44. During last week?

Question 44. During the last week...

The question should be presented by reading each option slowly and deliberately until reaching the question mark. When an answer is given, the oval is filled in and the next question is presented.

The reason for not working during the last week is investigated with this question.

The following clarifications will serve as a reference:

39. Did you work in the last week?

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).

39, 40, 41. Type of activity
The type of activity defines the person's relationship with the activity the person performed in the week before Census Day. Depending on the type of activity, the person may be economically active or economically inactive. However, people who were economically active and had work in the week before Census Day are considered employed people, and if they are seeking work they are unemployed people. The reference period is the week before Census Day. Questions 39, 40, and 41 allow us to identify, first of all, the economically active population and economically inactive population; then, among the economically active people, we can identify the employed people and unemployed people; among the unemployed people we can distinguish between people seeking work who had worked before the reference week and people seeking work for the first time; and lastly, among the economically inactive people, the questions let us identify homemakers and full-time students, as well as retirees, pensioners, and annuitants. Read out the multiple choices for questions 40 and 41 in order until you get an affirmative response. When this happens, go to the question indicated as the next one.

40. In the last week, did you...?

(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.

A22. Did [the person] do any type of work for pay, profit or home use for at least 1 hour in the past 7 days?

112. Column A22: Current economic activity: This is the work or something of economic value that someone is currently doing either for payment in any form or for no pay.

Q: What has [the person] been doing mainly in the past 7days?

Enter the appropriate one-digit code in the shaded area:

Generally speaking, if a person has had more than one activity during the past 7 days, it is the foremost of these that must be taken (i.e. that which took up most time and/or which was most rewarding). There is, however, an exception to this:

Everything takes precedence over "home maker". For example, if a person spent all his time doing housework - except for half a day when he went looking for work - he must be coded 04 as "job seeker" and not 05 as being "homemaker".

A23. Since [the person] was not working, what did he/she do?

[If female, go to A27, if male go to next person]

112. Column A22: Current economic activity: This is the work or something of economic value that someone is currently doing either for payment in any form or for no pay.

Everything takes precedence over "home maker". For example, if a person spent all his time doing housework - except for half a day when he went looking for work - he must be coded 04 as "job seeker" and not 05 as being "homemaker".

A person is usually employed if months employed is greater or equal to months unemployed. A person is usually unemployed if months unemployed are greater than months employed. If a person did none of the listed work activities, ask him/her what was his/her main activity in the past 12 months.

Question 6.46 asks about the occupation a person had on the week in reference, and now the following questions will ask about the activity. Do you know if the two are connected? Look carefully at the following explanation.

[page 250]

Attention!
The main duty or occupation is a characteristic related to a worker and the activity is a characteristic related to the enterprise where the person is employed or has his/her employees, as described before. Some occupations are typical of certain activities, but not exclusively. For example, a truck driver can perform his/her occupation in the city transportation system or in a different industry; a top-level nurse can perform his/her occupation in a hospital or a company outside of the area of health.

As a general rule for recording the activity

Record the activity of the enterprise (business, firm, institution, company or entity) to which the person is bound. In the case of an enterprise with more than one activity, the record must refer to the main activity, i.e., register only a single activity.

Examples:

• A person works on a plantation of bananas and coffee, where the main activity is the cultivation of bananas. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be banana plantation, even if the person's work was mainly on the cultivation of coffee;
• A person is working in a factory of leather handbags and shoes, where the main activity is the production of bags. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be manufacturing leather handbags, even if the person's work was mainly on the manufacture of leather shoes;

• A person is working in an enterprise that developed computer programs and gave computer courses to companies, where the development of computer programs is the main activity. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be the development of computer programs, even if the person's work was mainly linked to the courses given to companies;
• A person is working in an enterprise that manufactured and had maintenance services for industrial machinery, where the manufacture of machinery is the main activity. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be manufacturing industrial machinery, even if the person's work was mainly linked to maintenance services, and
• A person is working in a federal government agency focused on the production of statistics. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be the production of statistics in the federal public agency, even if the person develops their work, for example, in the printing area of the public agency.

• The level of education where the person works on, if she/he only has one job, and
• The highest level of education of the enterprise, if the person works on an area that is linked to the whole enterprise.

• An elementary school teacher who worked at a school teaching classes from preschool to high school, the record should be basic education, since the person only worked at this level of education;
• A janitor who worked in a preschool and elementary school that were in the same building, the record should be elementary school, and
• A director of a school that offers vocational programs and higher education technology courses, the record should be vocational programs since he leads the vocational programs.

• The main activity of the enterprise, in the case a person whose work was connected to the different sectors or activities of the enterprise, and
• The activity of the enterprise in which a person works.

• A person with a partner operated an agribusiness enterprise which included the cultivation of sugar cane and sugar mill, but the latter was the main activity. The record of the main activity should be sugar mill

• A person was employed as cane farmer in an agribusiness enterprise which included the cultivation of sugar cane and sugar mill. The record of the main activity must be cultivation of sugar cane because the person exercised his/her work on the farm, and
• A person was employed as a pump operator at an oil refinery owned by a company dedicated to various other activities (extraction of petroleum, fertilizer manufacturing, etc.). The record of the main activity should be oil refinery, because the person exercised his/her work in an establishment of the company dedicated to petroleum refining.

• If a person is employed in a company of cleaning services in a public agency, the record must be the activity of the company in which he/she was employed, as an aid;
• If a person is employed in a surveillance and security business and works on a bank vigilance, the record should be surveillance and security services;

• A person was hired as a farm labor to work temporarily on a coffee crop, the record should be farm labor, and
• A person was hired temporarily by a contractor as a telephone assistant, the record must be the activity of the company in which she/he had employment, i.e. temporary contract.

• A person working at a company responsible for a coffee shop in a bookstore. The record of the main activity of the enterprise should be coffee shop, even if it operates within the bookstore;
• A person working in an enterprise specializing in services for agricultural pest control. The record of the main activity of the enterprise services must be agricultural pest control, even if the person develop his work on farms, and
• A person working in an enterprise that specializes in planting and harvesting agricultural products. The record of the main activity of the enterprise services should be planting and harvesting agricultural products, even if the person develop his/her work on the farm.

Column 15: Main Activity During Last Year.

98. First we want to know what has been the main activity of the person during the one year preceding the Census Night. Main Activity means the activity during 6 months (183 days) or more during the last one year (i.e. for the major part of the last year). Codes have been provided on the schedule itself which are to be used while answering this question.

For all persons
[Questions 10 to 23 were asked of all persons]

[18] Main activity

74. Column 18: Main activity during last year
First we want to know what has been the main activity of the person during the one year preceding the Survey Night. Main Activity means the activity during 6 month (183 days) or more during the last one year (i.e. for the major part of the last year). Codes have been provided on the schedule itself which are to be used while answering this question.
Employed
74.1 The "employed" comprises all persons who were in the following categories for 6 months (183 days) or more during the last one year:-

74.2 Work is defined as any economically productive activity that a person does for pay (in cash or kind, in any establishment, office, market, farm, private house) or for profit; or without pay on family farm or enterprise. Workers (other than those working without pay in a family farm or business) should receive pay or profit in cash or kind for their activity. Unpaid activities which are not contributing to the person's family business such as voluntary social work or voluntary community support are not classified as "work" for the purposes of this Survey. Work may be physical or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also effective supervision and direction of work. It is important to note that it includes unpaid work on farm or family enterprise. You must ask probing questions to ascertain the existence of a job or employment or unpaid work on family farm or enterprise during the last year. Please also do not assume that women are generally home-makers. You have to specifically ask probing questions of women whether they were working. Please also remember that in rural areas where most men are engaged in cultivation, wives and daughters also participate as unpaid family workers in cultivation. Such women should be treated as working instead of treating them as home-makers or housewives since they attend to domestic duty also. You have to be very careful not to make this mistake. Similarly children who work should be regarded as employed.
74.3 What about men or women engaged in production of goods for own consumption?
Please note that the following activities for own consumption are treated as work:

74.4 Activities for own consumption other than the above are not treated as work (e.g. cooking one's own food, washing one's own clothes etc.). If a person is employed but at the same time does also attend to household chores or attend school etc., he/she should be treated basically as employed.
74.5 If you give code 1 for a person after following the above instructions, you have to fill in Columns 18 to 23 which will be described subsequently.
Unemployed
74.6 If a person (man or woman) is not employed you should ask whether he or she was unemployed for six months (or 183 days) or over during the last year. Unemployed refers to those who were without work but were seeking work or available for work.
74.7 Please note that homemakers, students and others mainly engaged in non- economic activities during the reference period who satisfy the above criteria of unemployment should be regarded as unemployed and not as home makers, students etc., If a person returns that he/she is unemployed for the major part of the year according these criteria, you should ask whether the person was employed any time before he/ she became unemployed. If he/she says Yes, you have to record Code 2 for the person in Column 18. On the other hand, if the person says that he/she was unemployed and seeking work for the first time and was never employed any time before you should record Code 3 in Column 18. In the case of unemployed who was employed any time before (Code 2 in Column 18), you have to fill in Columns 18-23 for last employment. In case of Code 3 in Column 18, enter dash (-) in each of the Columns 18 to 23.
Inactive Population
74.8 The employed and unemployed constitute economically active population. Those who are not employed or unemployed spend most of their time as homemakers, students etc. which are not considered as economically active and hence they are called Inactive population. Use the codes given in the schedule for recording the category of people inactive for six months (or 183 days) or more during the last year.
74.9 The inactive categories are explained below:

47. During the past week, [the respondent]: (basic)

14. General classification - Mark the appropriate box

Line No. 14.- General classification

By means of the mark that you make in the appropriate box, the whole population will be classified, agreeing with its primary occupational characteristics.

You should only mark one box for each person. Ask what a person does and then include it in the line that corresponds, according to the following definitions that are given:

Employed: is each person 12 years old or older who, during the reference period (March 1963), has worked for at least 6 days or work days. If they were absent from their job because of vacations, sickness, involuntary stoppage of work or strike, consider them as employed. Take them as such, since by having worked an occupation they have received or not, directly or indirectly, a payment in cash, in kind, or in both forms.

Student: is any person 12 years old or older who is dedicated exclusively to studying. If a person as well as studying, worked 6 or more days during the reference period (March 1963) consider them as "employed".

Unemployed: is all persons 12 years old or older capable of working (that is to say, they worked before and look for work) not one who looked for it for the first time), who during the month of March 1963 did not work any occupation, for at least 6 days or work days.

If a person12 years old or older, capable of working, worked less than 6 days or work days in the month of March, write them down as "Unemployed".

If a person 12 years old or older, capable of working, is not working on the date of the Census, or when the enumerator interviews them, but worked for a space of 6 or more days or work days in the month of March, they should be classified as "Employed", since this information does not refer to the date of the Census nor to the interview that the enumerator did, but rather that there is for them a period of reference: the month of March 1963.

Keep in mind that in this group also are included all persons, capable of working, who did not work during the reference period; therefore do not include here the incapacitated (blind, paralytic, etc.), who do not work due to their physical condition, nor pensioners, who are included in another group.

Domestic Craft: In this group are included women 12 years old or older who dedicate their time to chores of the home and do not work any other occupation, except pensioners or retirees. Generally they are understood to be a mother or daughters, also any other relative who resides in the Dwelling.

Servants and other employees are "Employed" and should be written down as such in the form.

Other: You should include in this group all persons 12 years old or older who are not included in the previous concepts. The persons referred to in this group are:

a) Pensioner and retirees; or that is those who live exclusively on a pension or retirement payments. They should always be written down even if they do domestics chores in their home.

[p. 51]

b) Rentiers; or those persons who draw investments from any origin and live exclusively from them. They should always be written down even if they do domestic labors in their home.

c) Persons interned in institutions; who are residents in jails, hospitals, convents, asylums, etc., permanently. Temporary interned (or that is who are going to remain there less then a year) who have an occupation, which they are not doing because of being interned occasionally in the institution should not be included among these; such persons should be classified as "Employed".

Other persons; includes persons such as blind, beggars, paralytics, etc. always who do not have any occupation, nor are interned in institutions.

When a person should be included in this group, it is necessary to specify, writing down that which corresponds to concepts a), b), c) and d).

17. Activity status.

12. Economic activity

Question 12: Economic activity

The condition of activity or type of activity, is the relation that exists between each person and the current economic activity that is done within our country, in and of its sectors (industrial, agricultural or livestock, services, etc).

[Below the text is a form.]

[p. 53]

To determine the condition of every interviewed person, you should ask each person 12 years old or older: What did you do the week of June 3 to 9? (last week). The question refers to what the person did during this week, because of this it you need to know if the interviewed person was working, was a student, or any of the situations that appear in the question. Once you have asked the question begin to read each of the alternatives and mark with an X for that which the person answered affirmatively. It is recommended to make an effort to get information about the economic activity of women; many times women tend to be classified that they are in their house as "domestic craft", nevertheless, some of them carry out another type of economic activity in their house (sew, make cigars, make handicrafts, etc).

In the case of the agricultural work for self-consumption, do not consider persons who carry out these activities, within the category of "work". Some following basic concepts are given so that you can correctly fill out question 12. Nevertheless, before going to it is necessary to give a warning. The categories corresponding to "condition of activity" are not mutually exclusive, that is to say, a person can be working and at the same time looking for work or studying; also the case is given of women who work and attend the domestic work of their household. Then, to answer this question adequately, the first condition that the person has should be written down as the response according to the order established for the categories (for example if a person worked and studied, they remain classified as worked).

Question 14: Condition of Activity

The principal objective of this question is to determine the participation that persons 12 years old or older had in the economic activity of the country in the reference period.

[To the right of the text is a form.]

In accordance with the explained objective, three basic concepts should stand out:

Reference period: The Population Census has the moment of reference as 0 hours June 18, but in the case of questions about economic activity (questions 14-18), the reference period is the week previous to the census moment. The information that is compiled should refer to the week (from Sunday to Saturday) immediately before the interview.

Economic Activity: is all activity and work directed toward the production of economic goods and services meant for sale or barter.

Condition of Activity: is the participation (or not) of each person in the economic activities that are developed in the country, in any of its sectors (industrial, commercial, agricultural and livestock, service, etc.).

To determine the condition of activity of each interviewed person their situation is investigated respective to having or not a job or employment, if they looked for a job or if they were economically inactive in the reference week.

The following possible response options are defined:

21. Last week [the respondent]...?

Questions 21 to 23: Determine the activity status of the people.

In order to adequately establish the economic activity condition of the people of the household as "employed, unemployed, or inactive" it is important that you analyze the following diagram and know the main concepts and related definitions.

Activity status

Keep in mind the following definitions:

Reference week: the information that is collected about the activity status must refer to the week immediately prior to the interview (from Sunday the 22nd to Saturday the 28th of May).

Activity status: this refers to the classification of the population 12 years or older according to their participation in economic activities.

Economic activity: all activity or work directed to the production of goods or economic services, designed for sale or exchange.

Work: the participation of the population in economic activities.

Employed population: according to the previous definitions employed people are those that during the reference week:

a) Worked or carried out some economic activity for at least one hour, without counting domestic tasks of their own home.

b) Were found not working but who have employment (they did not work because of some incapacity, vacations, suspension or leave of absence for a month or less, strike, lack of clients at the premise or office, bad weather, equipment failure, lack of raw materials, or closure period).

c) Worked or helped in a family business without pay.
