Interviewer instructions
Questions only for persons who are age 10 or older
The goals of these questions are to know the current marital status of the persons and the principal economic characteristics of the population that participated in the production of goods and services, as well as those who are dedicated to non-economic activities, such as: household chores, studying, etc.

If the person is younger than 10, continue with the next person.




Question 14: Last week the person worked in
With this question we try to collect information from those persons who during the reference week carried out some activity inside or outside of the dwelling that provided income in money or goods.

Within these activities we find: laundering, ironing, sewing for someone else, making bread, tortillas, candy or other foods to sell, making artisanal goods to sell, field work, and other activities.

If the person responded to any of the alternatives 1 to 6, you will continue with question 15 and write for the principal occupation the class of task that the person carried out as paid work, whether in money or goods, even if their principal work was that of housewife or student. Then, you should continue with questions 16, 17, and 18.

If the person answered alternative 7 (no activity) and is a woman who is fourteen years or more, you will continue with question 19 without marking anything for questions 15 to 18. If the person is a man, you will continue to the next person, but remembering that if this is the last informant for the dwelling, you should continue with Section VI about agricultural information.
