Interviewer instructions
Job search of the employed

This block of questions has as its objective to know about the search of another job in addition to the current one in order to be able to determine situations of underemployment.

What is an underemployed? Any person who workers less than the normal work day (in our country it has been considered to be 40 hours), desires to work more hours, and is available to do so.



96. Why do you want another job?

The people can be looking for a job for various reasons. In this question a list of reasons is offered and it is desired that the person choose the main reason. When he declares that he is looking for a job "to become independent" that corresponds with more income, since that is the cause that prohibits him from becoming independent.
