For persons of 5 years of age and older
[Questions 16 to 23 are asked of persons age 5 or older]

Question 19: Last week, what was your primary occupation?
Write down the specific name of the primary occupation performed by the respondent in the last week.

If the respondent answers that he/she had more than one occupation, kindly ask him/her which of them he/she considers as his/her primary occupation. The respondent should identify it, then write it down in the boxes.

Remember!

Write down the primary occupation in which the respondent worked last week and not the profession or trade that he/she has studied or learned and that he/she does not perform as a job. Example: The respondent is a teacher, but last week he worked as Principal of a national educational center, so write down: Principal Of National Educational Center.

[p. 67]

Primary occupation: It is the one that the respondent considers as such and refers to the work performed by the person for the production of goods and services during the last week.
