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 18: Hours worked
With this question we want to know how many total hours the person worked in the week before the census. If the enumerated person worked at more than one job, you should add up the hours worked in each job and note the total hours worked.

If the informant does not know the hours that the person works per week, you should ask how many days the person worked the week before, do the corresponding multiplication and note the answer.

If the enumerated person had work, but did not work during the reference week, you will note the normal number of hours that the person works per week.

If during the week before the census the person worked extra hours, you should add them up to obtain the total number of hours worked.
