39. Commute time to work
This question identifies how long the person takes regularly to go from home to work. Pay attention to the answer to circle the corresponding code to the time. For example, if the person declares 10 minutes ,circle code 1 "Until 15 minutes"; or if the person says an hour and a half, circle code 4 "More than an hour to two hours".

[Figures are omitted]

Maybe the informant declares an answer in non-numerical terms, so consider the following information:

Circle code 6 "It is not possible to tell how long" when it is not possible to calculate the commuting time because the person does not go to a fixed workplace, as the case of drivers, taxi drivers, or salesman door to door.

Circle code 7 "Does not commute" when people work at home and go to question 41 "Unpaid activities".

Note that the commuting time includes the time from when the person leaves the house until he/she arrives to the workplace, regardless of how the person does this journey. Include the time spent to go to transportation, the waiting time for transportation, and transportation time in the transport mean (the transportation mean can be public or private with motor, animal traction, or manual traction) even if the person goes cycling or walking.

Do not count the time that the person spend in other "activities on the way", whether these activities are performed by the person or by the person who takes or accompanies him/her, such as going to play a sport, take children to school, or stop to buy a drink or some food. Ask how long the person would take to go to the workplace if he/she goes directly to that place.

If the person does not go from home to workplace, instead he/she goes from the school or elsewhere, ask how long the person would take if he/she goes from home.
