These incomes can refer to a week, a month, or all year. The enumerator will write down the answer in the line that corresponds to the period to which the income refers. For example, if the [P. 55]person declares to have received $80.00 per week, the following will be written down: In a normal week: 80.
An answer should only be written on one of the three lines.
In those cases in which the period to which the income refers is not a week, nor month, nor year, calculate the income referring to one of the periods included in the questionnaire. For example: if they declare to have earned $500.00 twice a month, write $1000.00 on the line corresponding to one month: or in a normal month: 1000.
