In case of a change of employment at the time of the census, please answer questions 11 to 16 for the situation on May 15, 1991. Persons who both attend a school and have an occupation answer questions 11 to 16, depending on whether they have defined themselves as "employed" or as "pupil, student" in question 10.

11. Status in employment: workers mark "skilled worker", "semi-skilled worker" or "unskilled worker", depending on their collective labor agreement placement in the business they are employed in.
A person is self-employed if he/she is not an employee but instead has a profession in his/her own account.
With/without employee: depending whether persons receiving wages or salaries are employed in the business or not. Self-employed persons whose only employees are family members who are not being formally paid, please mark "without employees".
Unpaid workers in a family business are working in the business of a family member without being formally paid.

12. Exact description of occupation: Your statements will be categorized in one of 300 different occupational groups, and we therefore ask you to be as precise as possible in describing your occupational activity.

Examples of precise description of occupation:

Gas welder for steel construction parts
Operator of data processing machines

[Questions 14 - 16 were asked of students currently attending school and people who were working]


16, Route to the place of work or school:
Possible answers:
a) return to this housing unit: "daily", "not daily" (e.g. weekly)

b) Predominantly used means of transportation (for the furthers distance covered) for the daily journey to the place of work (school): "no transportation, walk," "car, motorcycle, moped," "train," "tram, subway," "bus, trolley," "bicycle," "other - boat, taxi, etc."

c) Time spent for your daily journey to the place of work (school) in minutes: "up to 15," "15-30," "31-45," "46-60," "more than 60."

Persons with changing places of work (e.g. custodians, construction workers) answer questions 15 and 16 according to the situation on May 15, 1991.

For persons that mark "not daily" in question 16a), answering parts b) and c) is not required.

Enumerator guideline:
This question must be answered by employed persons as well as military draftees, civil servants, pupils and students that marked the box "other address" in question 15.

Purpose of the question:
The statements in these questions are used for the description of commuter flows. The transit time and the means of transportation have since become an indispensable component of the commuter statistics. The data are needed for the depiction of the job market integration between the municipalities and regions as well as for many areas of planning in public sector und in the economy (housing unit construction, company establishment, time table planning, etc.). Next to the occupational commuter traffic data of the population census, the school commuter data are also of great importance.

Multi-billion amounts were and are invested, in order to provide the necessary infrastructure (highways, public transportation). Dependable information on the assessment of current and future need is essential because of ever decreasing financial margins of the public authorities, but also because of the environmental burden.

For gainfully employed persons, pupils, university students, persons on compulsory military service and conscientious objectors doing non-military service: Please turn to the next page and answer question 15. In item 15.4 you will also be asked to enter the address of your place of work or of your school and you could help save us tremendous sums in processing the forms by also indicating the phone number. Thank you very much!

15. Way of getting to place of work or school/university (traffic flows):


15.5 What means of transportation do you generally use going to your place of work/school everyday?

For the longest portion of the way (km): Please mark just one item

[] On foot
[] Car as driver
[] Car as passenger
[] Motorcycle, moped
[] Train, suburban train
[] Tram, subway
[] Bus, school bus, trolley bus
[] Bicycle
[] Other (ship, etc.)

For the remainder of the way (multiple answers are possible):

[] On foot
[] Car as driver
[] Car as passenger
[] Motorcycle, moped
[] Train, suburban train
[] Tram, subway
[] Bus, school bus, trolley bus
[] Bicycle
[] Other (ship, etc.)


Questions 12 to 15:
Persons who marked one of the three "gainfully employed" boxes in question 11 must always answer questions 12 to 15 for this gainful employment regardless of the referrals to other questions. If you hold several jobs, please answer questions12 to 15 for the occupation involving the most working hours. If you are switching jobs at the time of the census, please answer questions 12 to 15 for your situation on 15 May 2001.

Question 12:
The "self-employed" (also freelances and professionals) are individuals who pursue their profession for their own account and are therefore not in an employment relationship as an employee.

Persons "helping in family business" are gainfully employed persons who are working in a business owned by a family member without receiving formal remuneration for this work.

Persons "under contract for work and services, freelance staff" are individuals who perform their work for their own account, similar to the self-employed.

Question 13:
Please select the designation (job title) that best describes your work (where possible, also the degree of responsibility you have within the business or operation).

Examples of precise work designations:
Accounts clerk
Men's shirts packing machinist
Glas cutter
Foreman at dip painting plant
Manager of retail shop
High voltage line installer
Planing machine operator
Scientific researcher in environmental protection


Question 14:
Please indicate as precisely as possible the name of the business/establishment at which you work for item 14.1, its industry (branch of economic activity) for item 14.2.

Please write in 14.1 the complete company name (e.g. Robert Miller GmbH). If you own a business without a formal company name (e.g. farmer), enter your own name in question 14.1.

Persons with several employers enter the company where they work the most amount of time and answer the remaining questions for this company.

Question 15:
The information from questions 15.1 to 15.6 on going to work or school everyday can be used to determine traffic flows. If you go both to school and to work, you should answer the questions for going to work.

Re 15.1: Persons commuting once a week enter the address of their accommodations at their place of work/school. If you depart both from your main place of residence and other accommodations, please indicate the place from which you depart more frequently. In case of doubt, the situation on the reference date applies.

Re 15.2: Gainfully employed persons with telework positions who visit their company at least once a week should include commuter data for these trips to the company.

Re 15.4: Gainfully employed persons enter the address of their place of work where they start work everyday. In other words, it is not the address of the head office of the company that is to be entered but e.g. for sales staff the address of the branch and for teachers the address of the school (base school) at which they teach. Persons with variable places of work (e.g. traveling salesmen) are kindly asked to enter the address of the place of work where they receive their work assignment.

Re 15.5: Persons who switch the mode of transportation they use day to day should indicate the one most frequently used. In case of doubt, the situation on the reference date should be entered.
Car pools with alternating drivers should indicate the situation on the reference date.

Regarding questions 14 and 15:
Among the goals of the population census are: the determination of the affiliation of the population in the different branches of the economy (industry, services, etc) as well as the depiction of the traffic flows from housing units to the companies, office, schools etc.

The prerequisites for this analysis are composed of the information on name, address, economic sector and company (office, etc.) telephone number. The telephone number corresponds to a critical importance in as much as it, with your help, - number statements are easier to process in the EDV than text - should be possible to relatively quick and inexpensively ascertain the company and its economic sector or exact location in the company registers of Statistics Austria. If that - for example, because of a missing telephone number - is not possible, this information must be gained relatively expensively and time consuming, from the text statements (address, economic sector).

The telephone number will, under no circumstances, be used for further inquiry at the company in question - this is impossible, because the data sets for persons are saved without names in the EDV.


15. Way of getting to place of work or school/university (traffic flows):
The information from questions 15.1 to 15.6 on going to work or school everyday can be used to determine traffic flows. If you go to both school and to work, you should answer the questions for going to work.


Re 15.5:
Explanation: Persons who switch the mode of transportation they use day to day should indicate the one used most frequently. If in doubt, the situation on the day of the census should be entered. Car pools with alternating drivers should indicate the situation on the day of the census.


Re question 15:

The depiction of the relationship between residence and place of work/school takes place in the frame of the commuter statistics. Only a complete survey like the population census can present the small-scale traffic flows. Also the simultaneous presentation of the educational, occupational and economic structure of the gainfully employed by residence and place of work forms a unique basis for regional economic analysis.

The information on means of transportation and transit time are used in the depiction of traffic flows and have become indispensable components of commuter statistics. The data are needed for the depiction of the job market integration between the municipalities and regions as well as for planning in public sector und in the economy (housing unit construction, company establishment, time table planning).

This information is particularly significant for traffic planning. Large amounts were and are invested, in order to provide the necessary infrastructure (highways, public transportation). Dependable information on the assessment of the current and future need is essential because of ever decreasing financial margins of the public authorities, but also because of the environmental burden.

The frequent use of the commuter data of the population census appears in the statistics request of the ISIS-data base of Statistics Austria. The commuter flow chart is among the most requested population census data.

Place of work and transportation
Questions 46 to 48 tell us where people work and how they get to work. This information is used to assess commuting patterns, public transit needs, and energy use.

Labor market information also helps to identify locations for new hospitals, schools, daycare and recreational facilities, and the need for roads and transit services.

These questions should be completed for the job recorded in questions 40 to 45.

For persons who had more than one job during the week of May 1 to May 7, 2011, questions should be answered for the job at which they worked the most hours.

Report this person's regular place of work, even if they were temporarily on assignment, training or holiday during the week of May 1 to May 7, 2011.

If the person did not have a job during the week of May 1 to May 7, 2011, the questions should be answered for the job of the longest duration in the past year and a half, that is, since January 1, 2010.

Question 47 -- Mode of transportation to work
Part (a)
Mark the type of transportation usually used to get to work.

Mark only one circle indicating the type of transportation used for most of the distance traveled.

If different modes of transportation were used to go to work and come home, mark the mode of transportation used to get to work.

If different modes of transportation were used at different times of the year, for example, the person took public transit to work during the winter and walked, bicycled, or used a motorcycle in the summer, mark the mode of transportation used in the week of May 1 to May 7, 2011.

If more than one mode of transportation was used, for example, they drove and then took public transit, the person should report the one used for most of the travel distance.

If the person did not regularly commute from home to work, for example their home was far away from their work and they lived near their work during the work week and traveled home on weekends, the person should answer according to where they lived when at work.

Part (b)
For those who marked 'car, truck or van--as a driver' or 'car, truck or van--as a passenger' in question 47(a), mark the appropriate circle to indicate how many people usually shared the ride to work.

For people who were driven to work by someone who was not going to work, the question refers to the number of people who shared the ride to work. If no other people in the car, truck or van were traveling to work, the person should mark 'drove alone'.

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.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

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.

43. Means of transportation to work
This question asks about the means by which people transfer from home to work.

The transfer is understood as the journey that a person makes from a place of origin to a destination; in this case, going from home to work by one or more means of transportation.

Read the question and circle the answer(s) stated by the respondent. Take into account that you can register up to three means of transportation when they are on the same route, so it is very important that when you ask this question, you find out if they are all they use in the same section and record the corresponding option(s).

[Figure omitted: image with text] 

[p. 389]

For example, there are people who take a bus, then get on the metro, and finally, walk to work. In this case, you should circle option 6. truck, bus, van, bus shuttle; 3. Metro, light rail, commuter rail, and 1. Walking.

When the respondent indicates that there are days when he/she uses one means of transportation and changes it some other days, ask him/her to identify the one he/she uses most frequently.

To record the answer correctly, consider the following:

Walking. This option includes transfers made regularly by the person on foot, which can be complete or in sections; for example, the routes from the place of origin to the place where they board the first transport, and those from where they leave the last means of transport to the place of destination of the trip.

Bicycle. This means of transportation is recorded when it is used to travel the full distance from their housing unit to where they work or during a partial trip.

Subway, light rail, commuter rail. It includes electric transportation that runs on tracks or rails between one station and another; it is articulated by several cars and circulates in metropolitan areas such as the CDMX (Metro Collective Transportation System, Light Rail, and Suburban Train), Guadalajara (Electric Train System or Light Rail), Monterrey (Metrorrey).

Trolleybus. Electric public transport that travels by means of a two-wire system connected to electric power. It exists in Mexico City, Guadalajara (SITREN), and the State of Mexico.

Metrobus. (bus in confined lane). Means of transportation that circulates in an exclusive or confined lane, generally on the central or left side of the road. No other vehicles may use this lane. It may or may not be articulated, that is, it may have more than one wagon.
It has established stations and arrival or transfer terminals. For example: Metrobus in CDMX; Macrobus in Jalisco; RUTA, in Puebla; QroBus, in Querétaro; Acabús (Acapulco); Tuzobús (Pachuca); Optibús (León); Ecovía (Monterrey); Vivebús (Chihuahua).

Truck. Public passenger transportation with an average capacity of 30 seats, may or may not have fixed stops for boarding and getting off, these generally do not have booths or signage. It is traditionally known as an urban or suburban truck.

Bus. Specifically for the purposes of the Census, it includes within this concept all those urban or suburban buses that are part of the Public Transportation Network of the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico or of the Integral Transportation Systems in the states. For example, buses such as Atenea, Ecobús, and Servicio Expreso in the CDMX; in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara they are known as Nuevo Modelo de Trasporte Público, such as routes 13, 163, 368, 368 CUT and 371; Tuesa in Monterrey; SITT, in Tijuana.

Bus shuttle. A motor vehicle known as a van, microbus, vagoneta or pesero that follows a specific route, and passengers board get off along the way. They may or may not have pre-established stops. It also includes collective cabs, which pick people up and drop them off during the course of a route.

Personnel transportation. Special transportation service that regularly transports workers along an established route that passes near their homes, where they are picked up to take them to work or vice versa.

Cab (place, street, other). A motor vehicle that transports people from one place to another; it generally has a taximeter that indicates the amount of the trip.

Cab (internet app). A motor vehicle for hire used as public transportation, which is requested by the user through a computer application(App), in which they determine the place where they board (or are picked up) and get off. This service is offered by companies such as Uber, DiDi, Cabify, Easy Taxi, TaxiBeat, Yaxi, and Ubarxi. It is characterized by using a GPS (Global Positioning System) location system. It allows you to verify the vehicle and driver's data and pay by credit card, debit card, or cash.

If the person declares that they use cabs, ask how they request the service; if they do so at a site, on the street, or in some other way (hotel or subdivision site), circle option 8; include in this option cabs requested by WhatsApp. But if they do it by means of a computer application (internet app), option 9 applies.

Also, if the respondent only answers that they use public transportation, ask which one they are referring to and circle options 3, 4, 5, and 6 as appropriate.

Motorcycle or moped. A private vehicle with two, three, or even four wheels used to transport people. Includes tricycles and ATV.

Car or pick-up truck. Private motor vehicle used for the transportation of people.

44 How do you usually travel to work?

The question is answered by persons for whom the enumerator marked Every day, Once a week or Less than once a week at question 43.

For household members, the enumerator marks the way of travelling from the address of residence (home) to the place of work.

For persons who are not household members, the enumerator as a rule marks the way of travelling from the address of temporary residence to the place of work.

In determining the usual way of travelling to work, it is necessary to take into account the period of the last year and usual travelling conditions (weather, traffic, etc.).

[p. 69]

Other is marked by the enumerator for all other ways of travelling that are not stated; in the field way of travelling the enumerator enters means of transport used.


If for travelling to work the person uses different means of transport (or walks), the enumerator takes into account the one with which the largest part of the distance is travelled. If the person travels the same distance with different means of transport, the enumerated person should decide about the way of travelling to work.

If in the year before the 2002 Census the person moved or changed the place of work (employment) and therefore changed the way of travelling to work, the enumerator takes into account the way of travelling after the move or change of the place of work.
