(Only for people age 14 or older)

This section of the questionnaire will be carried out only for people age 14 or older.

This collection of questions intends to investigate not only the current occupational status of a person, but also the basic characteristics of the employed, unemployed, and inactive.

The concepts and criteria to determine the occupational status of the population are those recommended by the International Office of Work (OIT), recognized by the different social actors of the country.

Who are the employed? They are all those who worked for at least an hour the week previous to the survey or that didn't work because of vacations, a sickness or accident, work conflict, or job interruption because of bad weather, or lack of raw materials, but he has employment to which it is sure he will return.


64. Even though you did not work last week, do you have a job or business you will return to for sure?

According to the second of the criteria annotated in the definition of a working person "Didn't work the last week but has a job to return to" is the one included in this question. The person will be employed only in the cases in which he has assurance that he will return to work. Upon answering affirmatively, the following question will be asked, if the contrary, you will pass to the sequence of the people without work (section F.5, question 101)
