Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (11-42)
This section includes questions (questions 11-42) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted.
Whether or not the household head is at home, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from question 11 to question 42). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section is identical to the one written in in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, also write down all the characteristics of the other household members at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write onto the dotted line in printed letters, in order of their ages, the names surnames and all the characteristics of those, who, while being present at home, are not household members. Answer questions with a box, by placing an "X" into it.

Question 35: What is the job that you worked at (that you did) or did not sever your connection to, during the last week?
(Farmer, mechanical engineer, bank manager, typing clerk, teacher, fruit seller, yogurt seller, shoe repair person, barber, etc.)
In the space for the reply, write in specific and clear terms the job done during the last week by the person being administered the census in return for money or goods with the purpose of acquiring income. A person may have more than one job, all of which possibly provided an income. Regardless of the amount of income that this person derived from his/her jobs, write as the job held the job to which the most time was devoted. Pay attention to the following points in specifying the job a person worked in [and to which he] did or did not sever the connection during the last week:
- Rather than stating the job someone does in general terms, it should be stated using terms that fully specify the job, trade or service being done. It is especially true for jobs that end in "-ist", "-er" that convey a general meaning and may denote more than one job. Do not use these terms alone, and enter them in such a way that indicates the special nature of the job. Examples are provided below of correct and incorrect ways of denoting the job being done.

- For members of the armed forces; for the job done by officers, whether combat or non-combat, write only "Officer"; for non-commissioned officers, write "Non-commissioned officer"; and for privates, write "Private".
- If in addition to taking care of or helping with work in their own houses, housewives did another job within the last week in return for money or goods in order to derive an income, then regardless of the period worked at that job, write the job she held. For any job that women did during the last week to earn an income such as tailoring, embroidery, basket weaving, ceramics, doing laundry, carpet weaving, working as a maid, farming, raising vegetables, write the job held as "Tailor", "Embroiderer", "Ceramics maker", "Carpet weaver", "Laundry washer", "Maid", "Child caretaker", "Farmer", "Livestock raiser", "Vegetable grower".
- Particularly in rural areas, if the answer provided for the work done during the last week is "Housewife", ask if this woman had worked in the fields, in a vineyard, in a vegetable garden, in animal husbandry, etc. If the person in question had worked at such jobs, then regardless of the time worked, write the job she did as "Farmer", "Viticulturist", "Vegetable grower", "Livestock farmer".
