Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CL92A429">13. In this job are you (or were you)?<br /><br />The goal of this question is to specify the position of the person being enumerated in carrying out the job, trade, or type of work reported in the previous question.<br /><br />The conditions 1. Boss or Employer, 4. Salaried Worker (Employee, Manual Laborer, Day Laborer) are understood on their own and don't need further comments. <br /><br />On the other hand, the conditions 2.

Own-Account Worker: Is a person who works independently and without employing compensated personnel; runs their own business or practices a profession or trade on their own. The person may work alone or in association and may have the help of family members who are not monetarily compensated: independent professionals and technicians, a store owner without employees, a taxi driver, street vendors, etc.<br /><br />3. Household Domestic Service Worker: A person who does work related to the house and for which they are paid a wage or salary.

People who do this type of work and usually sleep in their own houses (live-out worker [<span class="lang">puertas afuera</span>]) will be enumerated in their own households.<br /><br />5. Uncompensated Family Member: A person who doesn't receive a salary or wage for the work that they do in a relative's company or business; this person works at least three days of a normal work week.<br /></svar>
