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.

42. Commuting time to work
This question asks how long the person regularly takes to get from the housing unit to work.

Pay attention to the answer and circle the option that corresponds to the stated time.

For example, if they declare 10 minutes, circle option 1. Up to 15 minutes; if they say "one and a half hours", select option 4. More than 1 hour and up to 2 hours.

It may be that the answer is stated in terms that are not numerical, so consider the following:

- A quarter of an hour is equivalent to 15 minutes.
- Half an hour is equivalent to 30 minutes.
- Three quarters of an hour is equivalent to 45 minutes.

Circle option 7. No commuting when the person works from home, and go to question 44. Children born alive.

It considers that the commuting time is from the time the person leaves the housing unit until they arrive at the place of work, regardless of the way they do it. It includes the time spent going to take the transport, the time spent waiting or transferring, and the time spent in the means of transport (public or private motorized, animal or manual traction), even if they are cycling or walking.

[p. 388]

Do not count the time that the person uses for other kinds of activities, either their own or those of the person accompanying them, such as going to practice a sport, or stopping to have a drink or some food. For this reason, find out how long it would take the person if they went directly to work.

If the person does not commute directly from the housing unit to work, but from school or another location, ask how long it would take to commute from the housing unit.

The commuting time to work question is displayed in the census manager as follows:
