8.7 Labor Activity
This module is directed towards people 12 years of age or alder and has the objective of determining if, from point of view of the economic activity, the members of the household are employed, unemployed, or inactive. Additionally, it seeks to obtain information about the characteristics of the occupations (tasks, activity sector, etc.).
The following two questions are formulated only for the people that work or that are unoccupied and have worked in the past.
Where do you carry-out this work?
This question is only asked of the employed people.
Apply the same criteria used for the questions of residency and location of education establishment, differentiating if the work is carried out within the dwelling or outside of it.
The options are:
In this dwelling.
In this locality or area. If the person's first habitual resident is in the same locality or area in which he/she is being interviewed.
In another locality of this department: If the person went to reside in another locality or area of the same department in which he/she is being interviewed.
Select the name of the locality from the list that the system displays.
If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant as to whether the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
If the informant responds that it was an urban area, ask him/him if that locality is known by another name and search for the said name in the list.
[p. 108]
If the locality is known by another name or the name is not on the list, select the option "other." This option will only be used in very exceptional cases.
In another department: If the person went to live in another locality or area of a department different than that in which he/she is being interviewed.
Select the name of the department.
Select the name of the locality from the list the system displays.
If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant about where the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
If the informant responds that it was an urban area, ask him/him if that locality is known by another name and search for the said name in the list.
If the locality is known by another name or the name is not on the list, select the option "other." This option will only be used in very exceptional cases.
In another country. If the person lived in another country, select the country from the previous residency.
In itinerant work (in more than one locality). Select this option if the person declares working in more than one locality or department.
