Interviewer instructions
Questions 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 on Economic characteristics should be asked of all people 12 and older.
Question 13. What did you do the majority of the days between the 7th and the 13th of November?
When asking the question, read the options in the order indicated. Did you work?, Did you not work but had a job?, and thus successively until you get an answer; then, mark the appropriate box and follow the directions that appear next to it and which indicate to you the question with which to continue.
[The following instructions are in the rural manual, on pages 36 and 37.] In this question, it's important to take special care with the following aspects:
As much as possible, ask those 12 and older directly. Pay a lot of attention when enumerating women. In rural areas, at the same time that they carry out domestic tasks in the household, women generally do work with agriculture/livestock, handicrafts or business that they frequently don't report because they consider it to be part of their domestic activity. In these circumstances, it is necessary to determine what the person did the majority of the week prior to the Census, in order to establish the questions that should be asked next. When people 12 years and older, especially women, report that they performed household duties, find out if they were done in their household or if it was a compensated activity in another place, in which case you should mark box 0, which corresponds to the option: Did you work?.
