III. Occupational characteristics -- for persons age 12 or older

With the questions from this chapter, we look to fundamentally quantify the active population and determine what the activities that are done are.


Question No. 17 is "What is principally done in the establishment in which you work or worked the last time?"


The answer to this question should be as explicit as possible since it concerns the economic activity that is done in the establishment in which a person works or work for the last time.

[An example has been omitted]

People who work in a traveling form should be considered an individual establishment. So a newspaper seller, who works alone and is self-employed, should be written down as "Sale of newspapers" in question No. 17.

If an enumerated person is a public employee, of a centralized, decentralized or autonomous organization, you will write down the name of the governmental department where they work.

If a person works in an establishment that does two or more different activities, you will write down the activity with which the person is most directly linked.
