Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people</span></p>

<p>In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.</p>

<p>Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.</p>

<p><svar v="MX10A449 MX10A450 MX10A451 MX10A452 MX10A453 MX10A454 MX10A455 MX10A456 MX10A457 MX10A458 MX10A459 MX10A460 MX10A461 MX10A462 MX10A463 MX10A464 MX10A465 MX10A467 MX10A468 MX10A469 MX10A470 MX10A471"><span class="em">For persons age 12 or older</span><br />[Questions 24-35 are for persons age 12 or older]<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="MX10A461"><span class="em">31. Hours worked</span><br />This question finds out the time that the person dedicated to the work activities.<br /><br />When the informer has a doubt about specific total hours, ask:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>"What days did he/she work?"</li>

<li>"At what time did the person enter and leave work? And how many days did he/she work last week?"</li>

<li>For the type of schedule, if it is continuous, sum the hours from when he/she enters until he/she leaves; but if it's discontinuous, do not sum the time that he/she uses to go out to eat.</li>

<li>When it is a person who sells some product or food, ask that he/she also counts the time it took to prepare it.</li>
</ul><br /><br />Add the hours worked when the person has carried out more than one job the week before the data collection.<br /><br />Solicit an approximated amount or an average, when he/she doesn't remember the hours worked or doesn't know the specific information.<br /></svar>
