15.3 Section III. People characteristics

In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.

Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.

For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.

36. Earned incomes
This question identifies the amount of income that people earn from their work, as well as how often they receive it (period).

Read the question, wait for the answer and record the amount charged to the right and then circle the period. In case the respondent does not mention the period, ask "How often?"

Take into account that people who work receive different forms of payment, such as:

- Salary, wage, daily wage or piecework pay when working for an employer, company, or business.
- Profits or commissions when you are the owner of the business (employer or self-employed); you earn your profit when you sell finished products, animal products or byproducts, or harvest production or are paid for services you provide them.
- Receive commissions for sales made.

For those who work in farming, agriculture, or animal husbandry, ask them to consider as profit or payment the money obtained from the sale they make, even if it is seasonal.

If the respondent mentions that he/she does not remember or know the exact amount, or that the income is variable, ask for an approximate or average figure. Also, if he/she mentions that you earn the minimum wage, find out how much it corresponds to.

In case he/she states the income in a period different from those considered in the question, adjust the amount to some of the pre-coded periods, confirm it with the respondent, and record it.

Example:

Interviewer: How much does Edith earn in that job?

Respondent: She is paid 150 pesos per day.

Interviewer: How many days a week does she work?

Respondent: She has been working for one year, 6 days a week.

Interviewer: So, does she earn 900 pesos a week?

Respondent: Yes, that is correct.

When the answer is that the person receives a million pesos or more, write down 888,888 and circle the corresponding period.

 He/she does not receive cash income.

The question of labor incomes is presented to the census manager as follows:
