Interviewer instructions
Questions 20 to 31 are asked only of people 12 years of age or older.</p>
<p><span class="em">Questions 24 to 29: Determine the characteristics of the people's main work</span>
<br />This refers to the characteristics of the main job, that to which the person habitually dedicates the most number of hours or that which generates the greatest income.</p>
<p><span class="em">About the main job</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Question 27: Branch of activity</span></p>
<p>_____ 27. What does the company, institution, or business where [name] works produce?</p>
<p>The "branch of activity" allow us to locate the business, establishment, company, or farm, within an economic sector, according to the class of goods or services that it produces. You must note the branch of the activity of the establishment in which the person works in his/her main occupation.</p>
<p>So, if it deals with a business of the commercial sector you must indicate as well the type of product that they sell, and if it deals with retail sale or wholesale; if it deals with an agricultural farm you must specify the type of animals or crops that are produced in the farm, in the case of industrial manufacturer you must describe the kind of goods that are produced are developed in the business or factory, or if it deals with businesses that provide services to others, you must specify the kind of service offered.</p>
<p>Upon noting this you should avoid generic terms such as workshop, factory, warehouse, farm, laboratory that by themselves do not allow for a classification of the branch of economic activity.</p>
<p>Below some examples of correct and incorrect annotations used when assigning this information are shown, which will surely help one understand what is being asked:</p>
<p>For no reason leave questions 24 "main occupation" and 27 "branch of activity" blank for those declared employed.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p. 166]</span></p>
<p>[The left-hand side is the general but incorrect type of branch of activity; examples of more specific and correct identification of industry activity follow to the right]</p>
<p>Sale of construction materials: wholesale of tubes, cement, paint</p>
<p>Transportation: transportation of ground passengers, transportation of aerial passengers, transportation of maritime passengers, transportation of ground cargo, transportation of aerial cargo, transportation of maritime cargo</p>
