64 Even though you did not work last week, do you have a job or business that you are going back to for sure?

F.5 Search of a job for those unemployed

105. What did you do mostly to look for job or create your own business?

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.

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.

105. What did you mostly do to look for job or create your own business?

The objective of this question is to determine if the person is effectively looking for work. Different options of job searching are presented.

According to the response of the interviewee you will circle the code that corresponds. Remember that only one response is admitted, so that, in the cases in which the interviewee indicates more than one, you will invite him to determine which of them was the main one.

Some clarifications about the available options:

Directly consulted an employer: is when the person establishes direct contact with the firms, without the existence of an intermediary (employment agency, friend, relative, etc.)

[p. 56]

Did paperwork, applied for loans: these are the actions that a person generally does to establish himself on his own, without any dependency relationship.

If the response to this question is "Nothing", the interview will continue with question 111.
