Interviewer instructions
11 to 16, occupational questions:
If several employment relationships exist, please answer question 11 to 16 for the profession with the most working hours.
If you are changing employment relationships at the time of the population census, please answer questions 11 to 16 for the situation on May 15, 1991.
Persons who are employed as well as attending a school, answer questions 11 to 16 depending on if they designated themselves as "employed" or "student, pupil" in question 10.
Purpose of the question:
The results of the populations census in occupational and economic areas are of great importance for the planning administration, the economy, research and the representation of interests, because they present a cross section of the total of all employed persons. Other surveys (like e.g. local unit of employment census or the social insurance institutes) also provide data in this area, but not with the diversity, objectivity, and regional subdivision and combination possibilities of the population census.
[Questions 14 - 16 were asked of students currently attending school and people who were working]
15, Address of your work place or school:
Possible answers: "place of work (school) in this house", "other address, namely:"
Questions 15 and 16: Address and route to workplace or school: These questions serve the ascertainment of your route from the housing unit to place of work or school. Therefore, teachers enter the school where they teach (main school) not the state education authority.
Persons who work in their house or on the same property (e.g. janitors, farmers, home workers) or who live in the school building, mark the box "this house" for question 15; these persons are not required to answer question 16.
If the place of work (school) is located abroad, the country should also be stated.
Persons with changing work places (e.g. custodians, construction workers) answer questions 15 and 16 according to the situation on May 15, 1991.
Enumerator guideline:
For employed persons the place of work where they report daily should be entered. Because the address of the place of work is compiled for the commuter statistics, it is not the address of the company management that is meant, rather for construction workers the construction site or gathering place from which they are brought to the construction site, for police the guard room, for sales representatives their own housing unit if they start their journeys from there, etc.
[p. 77]
Employed persons that have a different place of work daily, answer the questions according to the situation on May 15, 1991.
Military draftees enter the address of the barracks, civil servants enter the agency where they perform their civil service.
Pupils enter the address of the school they currently attend. Students enter the address of the university building in which they attend most of their lectures or trainings.
Purpose of the question:
For an industrial society it is significant that the location of work and residence for many employed persons and most pupils are separated.
The depiction of the relationship between residence and location of work (school) takes place in the frame of the commuter statistics. Only a complete survey like the population census can present the commuter flows down to the municipal level. The population census is - apart from occasional analyses from other sources (marital status records, voter lists of the official representation of employees) - the only data source of commuter flows. One possibility that only the population census offers was already referred to: the simultaneous presentation of the educational, occupational and economic structure of employed persons by residence and place of work; with this it forms a unique source for regional economic investigations.
The frequent use of the commuter data of the population census appears in the statistics request of the ISIS-data base of Statistics Austria. The commuter flow chart is among the most requested population census data. Around 10% of all inquiries of population census data concern this chart.
