Interviewer instructions
Question No. 13--Type of Activity
The purpose of this question is to determine what part of the population 12 years and older is "economically active," and, of that part, how many can be considered "employed" and how many "unemployed."
The responses are exclusive, it being unacceptable to mark more than one response.
Faced with this question, you will read each one of the alternatives that appear as a response, pausing between alternatives in order to permit the informant to precisely determine which of the responses describes their situation during the week of April 13 to 18.
The questions: "Did you work?," "Did you not work but were employed?," etc. should be asked in the order that they appear on the census form.
[p. 37]
You will mark only one of the alternatives, according to the following guidelines:
0) Did you work? If the person performed compensated labor during the week of April 13 to 18 of a continuous nature equivalent to at least one day of work.
1) Did you not work but were employed? Mark this box if the person didn't work during the week of April 13 to 18 but had a job or business and was temporarily absent because of vacation, sickness, or another reason.
2) Did you look for work and had worked before? (Unemployed). You should mark this box in the case of people who didn't have a job during the week of April 13 to 18 because they withdrew from their job, because of being let go or for another reason, and who are waiting to be called again or are looking for a new job.
3) Did you seek work for the first time? You will mark this box if the person has never had a compensated job and, during the week of April 13 to 18 they took steps to get a job.
4) Retired or Pensioner? You will mark this box if the person didn't do any compensated activity during the week of April 13 to 18 but receives a retirement or dependent's pension in return for services previously rendered, by him or his relatives.
5) Rentier? Is he who didn't do any compensated activity during the week of April 13 to 18, and lives off of the profits of his capital.
6) Student? You will mark this box if the person being enumerated was attending school the majority of the time during the week of April 13 to 18.
7) Household duties? You should mark this box if the person be enumerated dedicated him or herself to the care of the household the majority of the time during the week of April 13 to 18.
8) Other? You should mark the box after the line "other" if the person being enumerated was not, during the week of April 13 to 18, in any of the situations previously listed: for example, disabled persons or shut-ins who don't work.
