Interviewer instructions

Questions 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 and 3.10 are asked to people who are 5 years old or older. For this, check the answer that you wrote down in question 3.3 Age.

If a person who you are interviewing is less than 5 years old, go to the next person in the list.

3.8 Attendance

The question permits us to distinguish people who attend school from those who do not do it.

Consider that a person Does attend school:

- If registered as student in any educational center of any scholarly level, from preschool and primary school to masters or doctorate.

- If registered in open education and comes with some regularity to receive consulting.

- If taking courses for a degree or its equivalent (engineering, medicine, chemistry) masters or doctorate, at a distance (through Internet).

Consider Does not attend if a person:

- Goes to classes only to learn how to read and write (illiteracy)

- Attends classes of personal development, to learn any office or other type of activities or workshops for fun or pastime (dressmaking, beauty stylist, handicrafts, music, etc)
