Interviewer instructions
[Questions 17 to 27 were asked to individuals 10 years old and older]
Question No. 22: What was the reason for not looking for work last week?
Read all the alternatives presented in the questionnaire and begin to mark the circle according to the response of the person. If a person responds affirmatively in any of the circles 01 to 04 (the person does occasional jobs, looked before and is expecting news or finds impossible to find a job), mark the corresponding circle and continue with question 23.
[p. 174]
For those who answer "Yes" to any of the circles 05-11 (Retired or age pensioner, pensioner (by accident or illness), only student, homemaker or household worker only , permanently disabled to work, age (70 and over), Other inactive), mark the corresponding circle, go to question 28 and draw a diagonal line through questions 23 to 27.
Note the following definitions:
The person works for fixed periods of time (Circle 01): A person not looking for a job, because she depends on a work she does with some regularity and which gives her enough income to survive, must be located in this question. Example: contractors, or marine in the reference week who were resting in their homes.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
The person is about to start working (Circle 02): The person you interview says that she got a job, which will begin at a later date to the census reference week.
The person looked for a job before and is expecting news (Circle 03): The person searched employment or job before and is waiting to be called or warned about.
The person got tired of looking for a job (Circle 04): The person states that she did not seek employment during the reference week, as she has done it previously and did not found a job, so she thinks that it is impossible to find a job.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
Retired or old age pensioner (Circle 05): A person who has stopped working, after having the quotas and the required age and who is receiving retirement income (regardless of the country where he retired).
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
[p. 175]
Pensioner (by accident or illness) (Circle 06): A person who has stopped working and is receiving income retirement or pension for having some kind of ailment, disease or having had an accident that prevents her from performing work activities. This does not include people who receive maintenance for divorce or separation, or survivors.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
Student only (Circle 07): The person who is dedicated solely to studying.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
Housewife only or home worker (Circle 08): A person of either sex, who does not do any economic activity, and is dedicated to taking care of her own home. For example, consider housewives and other relatives responsible for the care of the house and of the children. These people are engaged solely to the housework or chores in their own homes, they are not looking for a job, they are pensioners or retired, they receive no income, or attend school. There may be more than one housewife in a home.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
Permanently disabled to work (Circle 09): Consider in this group those persons having some sort of permanent disability as a result of an illness, accident or any physical or mental limitation (disability) which prevents them from doing any work, and who do not receive pension for their condition.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
Advanced age (70 and over) (Circle 10): This refers to people who are neither working nor looking for work, because their age does not allow it. Age 70 and over is the parameter from which the Census defines elderly population. Do not classify in this section a person just because she is 70 years; you should inquire if she does the chores at home, she is a homemaker; if she works she is classified as an employee, among others.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
[p. 176]
Other inactive (Circle 11): Persons without being classified in any of the above groups who do not perform any economic activity and are inactive. The same person can be a rentier (the person who receives money without having to work or who receives income from a business or company such as: real estate, rental of land or machinery, etc.), or can be idle (lazy), among others.
[To the right of the text there is a picture.]
[Below the text there is a sample image of the form.]
Remember that you should mark only one answer in this question.
If the person is a student and also works, you should have marked circle 1 "Yes" in question 17; equally, if the person is retired and works well, you should have marked circle 1 in question 17. In summary, it prevails in the classification of questions 17 to 22, the fact that she is a worker.
[p. 177]
When classifying the population you should take special care with persons who declare to be "Worker in the home, homemaker " or " Student" because the first group at times also does remunerated jobs like: cleaning, ironing, sewing, doing hair, painting fingernails, making candies or food to sell, etc. in their own home or outside of it, but because they spend little time in these labors they forget to supply this information.
On the other hand, some students shine shoes, sell newspapers, are supermarket packers, or wash cars, etc. after class or on weekends. Equal care should be taken with the spouse or companion or the children of farm families, who regularly help with the agricultural labors but do not declare such job.
If a person worked during that period even though it was part time, she should be classified in the category of Employee which corresponds to the Economically Active Population.
For the case of workers of the home or homemakers who attend school, that is to say, that they have been marked in circle 1 (Yes) in question 13 of Section VI. Educational Characteristics, you should mark circle 07 (Student only) of the question 22 of Section VII. Economic characteristics.
