The "occupational category" is that relationship of dependence in which a person completes his/her occupation. In order to correctly note this it is necessary to understand the following concepts:
Employer (has permanent employees): this is the owner or active partner in a business that as part of his/her job contracts one or more salaried workers in a permanent way.
Self-employed worker: this is the person that works alone or in association, without establishing dependence with a boss, that generally does not contract salaried personnel or only on occasion.
A person that works "on one's own" defines the conditions of the work and places value of the goods produced, of the services provided, or of the price of the merchandise sold.
The people that work in a cooperative as partners of the cooperative are in included in this category.
Employee of a private sector: person that works in a relationship of dependence with a private company and receives a payment for the work in the form of a salary, wage, or daily paid, whether in money or in kind, or both.
Employee of the public sector: person that works in a relationship of dependence with the state.
Employee of private households: the person that works in a relationship of dependence with a household that is not his/her own. This person works as a salaried worker, in money or in kind, or both.
[p. 168]
Unpaid worker: this is that person that works in a relationship of dependence with a person in a farm, business, or family company, and does not receive payment for his/her work in money or in kind.
