6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people

In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.

Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.

For persons age 12 or older
[Questions 24-35 are for persons age 12 or older]

33. Economic activity sector
The economic activity completed in the business, company, or place where the person worked the week before the data collection is found out through two questions:

• First investigate the common name of the place where the person worked the week before the data collection
• Second, solicit what the place is dedicated to, that is, what is done, sold, transported, cultivated, extracted, produced or fabricated, what services are offered, what is constructed, among others.

Regarding the activity of the business, company or place where the person worked, always ask, according to the case, for:

• The main material used in production
• The product they sell
• The product they repair.

Use this information to clearly write what they produce, sell, or repair.

For example:
They make cardboard boxes.
They make wooden boxes.
They make and sell houses.

They sell plates, pots, and others.
They sell life insurance.
They sell used clothing.
They sell spare parts for trailers.

They repair shoes.
They repair autos.
They repair used clothing.

When the person responds that he/she works on his/her own, in the second question (to what is the business dedicated) repeat what is noted for Occupation, that is, what the person did. Always be sure that the informer listens to what you write.

Examples:
"What did the person do?" Arranged gardens, sold fresh fish
"Where did the person work?" In different houses, in the market
"What are they dedicated to where he/she works?" Arranging gardens, selling fresh fish

If the person doesn't have a fixed place to work, note the place most frequented or as they indicate it, for example: in his/her own house, in the street, in the market, from door-to-door, outside the school, or in different houses.

If the person had more than one job, only register the economic activity from the work place where he/she carried out the principal occupation.
