[Figures are omitted]
Take into account the following considerations:
[] A person is employed, workman, laborer, or farmworker when he/she worked or helped in a business, private company, or a government institution in exchange for a wage or salary.
Laborers and farmhands generally perform their occupation in agriculture or construction.
Note that managers or administrators are not always owners of the business or company, but they are employees.
[] Employers and self-employed people own their business or company, but they distinguish between them because employers hire workers in exchange for a wage; while self-employed people do not hire workers, although it may be the case that they receive support from unpaid workers.
[] A person is unpaid worker when he/she helped in businesses, shops, workshops, farms, family or non-family agricultural plots without receiving a cash payment.
When the answer is employee or laborer, farmland, or paid assistant, continue with question 33 "Work benefits".
If the answer is boss, employer, or self-employed, go to question 34 "Income from work"; if the person is an unpaid worker, go to question "Business, company, or workplace".
