Job search of the unemployed

In this block of questions the interview continues with those people who are not working.

Unemployed: is any person who during the reference period considered (last week) is not working because of not having work, is actively looking for work, and is available to start working right now. By definition, those people who are not looking for work since they are waiting for the results of processes already started and those who begin working in the next 30 days are also unemployed.

[p. 55]

Inactive: is any person who, during the reference period considered, did not work and didn't carry out concrete steps or is not available to work right now.


103. Why didn't you look for a job or try to create your own business?

For all those who responded as not having found a job, you will try to find out the cause.

This question allows differences between those people who didn't look for a job because of a lack of interest in working ("No reason in particular") from those who abandoned the search because of a lack of work after trying repeatedly, or from those who today don't do it for having had success previously and are waiting for a reply or a job to start.

According to the response of the interview you will circle the code that corresponds. Remember that only one answer is accepted, so that, in the case that the interviewee indicates more than one, he will be invited to determine which one of them was the main one.
