Interviewer instructions
Job search of the unemployed
In this block of questions the interview continues with those people who are not working.
Unemployed: is any person who during the reference period considered (last week) is not working because of not having work, is actively looking for work, and is available to start working right now. By definition, those people who are not looking for work since they are waiting for the results of processes already started and those who begin working in the next 30 days are also unemployed.
[p. 55]
Inactive: is any person who, during the reference period considered, did not work and didn't carry out concrete steps or is not available to work right now.
108. How long have you been looking for a job?
Even though it is requested that the time is indicated in weeks, in some cases in can be that for the interviewee it is easier to remember in months, in this case note this number in the margin and later do the conversion multiplying by 4.
It's fundamental that when encountering prolonged search times, clarify to the interviewee whether or not he was doing concrete actions during all the time, that's to say that there were not interruptions in the search.
Concrete actions are understood as answering ads in the newspaper, consulting employment agencies, directly consulting the employer or with friends and relatives, doing paperwork, or working off loans in order to establish oneself, etc.
