Interviewer instructions
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (8-34)
This section includes questions (Questions 8-34) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted. Whether the household head is at home or not, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from Question 8 to Question 34). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section are identical to the ones written in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, (except for household members not at home) also write down all the characteristics of all the household members who are present at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write using printed letters into the pertinent section and in order of their ages the names surnames and all the characteristics of those who, while being present at home, are not household members (guests). Answer questions with a box by placing an "X" into it.

Employment status within the last week (27-33)
(Persons age 12 or older)
Question 27: Last week, did you work at a job in return for money or goods? If you did not work, are you continuing to maintain your attachment with your job?
People who worked in the last week for even one hour in return for money or goods are to be deemed as having worked. Those not having worked during the last week due to reasons such as vacation, illness, travel, a work dispute or due to seasonal exigencies are to be considered as having continued to maintain their attachment with their job.
[After] determining whether the person being administered the census did or did not work during the 7 days prior to census day even if for only one hour in order to earn money or goods, and if the person did not work, determining whether or not that person continued to maintain attachment with the job, then based on the person's circumstance, place an "X" into the 3 "Worked" box if the person worked; into the 4 "Did not work, but continuing to maintain attachment with the job" box if the person did not work but is continuing to maintain attachment with the job; and into the 5 "Did not work" box, if the person did not work.
In deriving the answer to this question, pay attention to the following points:
Just as jobs compensated in the form of a salary or wage come under the heading of work for money or goods, so also do self-employed work, engaging in agriculture on one's own land, and working without pay on family enterprises.
While a person may not have worked during the last week for reasons such as vacation, illness, travel, a work dispute, as well as due to seasonal exigencies, people temporarily not working for these types of reasons are still continuing to be attached with the job.
Ask Questions 28-31 of those who replied "Worked" or "Did not work, but continuing to be attached with the job" to Question 27. For those replying that they did not work, skip to Question 32.
