Interviewer instructions
VII Economic characteristics
In this section some of the economic characteristics of the population of work age (12 years old or older) are found out; which are related to socio-demographic and cultural information about the population, that permit us to know the socioeconomic situation of people and households.
[graphic of the question from the census form]
The information obtained in this section permits us to know, in a specific reference period (the week before the interview), how the work force [p. 119] in the country is formed, that is, who worked or looked for work; about the first jobs, what is done in the occupation, how many hours are worked, what are the incomes, the relation with the employer, etc.
Also in the population of 12 years old or older it is meant to distinguish who receives income by different sources at the job and the importance of these perceptions.
7.6 Hours
This question has the objective of knowing the total number of hours that a person worked in the week before the date of the interview.
[p. 132]
Hours are understood to be the time that a person does the job or an economic activity, as it can be the sale of merchandise, making of products, rendering of a service, etc.
[graphic of the question from the census form]
Write down the hours that an informant tells you. If a person has two or more jobs, ask the question in the following manner: "How many hours did Pedro work at his jobs last week?"
Consider the following within hours worked:
Extra hours worked in the reference week.
Time dedicated to buying materials used in the activity or job, that is, buying primary material for doing an activity done in the established work schedule, is counted within the work week. Also time used by self employed workers for the buying, production and sale of articles, clothes, food, etc is counted here.
Do not consider the following aspects as hours working:
The time a person uses to eat. For example, employees who work a discontinued schedule (from 9 to 2 and 4 to 8 hours) who use one or two hours eating.
[p. 133]
The time that a person uses going from place of residence to work and the return to the dwelling.
For a person who in question 7.1 Condition of activity, indicated not working but had a job (code 2) the reference week, ask the number of hours that are habitually worked.
In cases where they declare only the schedule of work or the hour of arriving and leaving work, calculate with the informant the hours worked daily and the days worked, to get the total number of hours worked the week before the interview.
When an informant gives as an answer "works from time to time" or "does not have a schedule," which is the case of people who do not have a fixed place to work or they work in their own home, investigate the estimated daily time and the number of days worked in the week before the interview.
Example:
Interviewer: How many hours did María work at her activity last week?
Informant: She works a little while during the day, then she only watches animals in the afternoon.
Interviewer: Approximately how much time does she watch them?
Informant: About two hours.
Interviewer: How many days last week did she go to watch the animals?
Informant: Only three days
Interviewer: So she worked six hours last week?
Informant: Yes, that's right.
When the total number of hours that people work is equal to or higher than 98, write down 98 in the corresponding fields.
If after exhausting all possibilities to get an estimation, an informant does not know the hours worked, write down 99.
