The Minister of Social Development, Karla Rubilar, gave the go to previous work for the Socioeconomic Characterization survey (Casen), an uprising carried out every two years and which should have been postponed to 2020 due to the demonstrations that followed October 18.
On this occasion, the survey, which allows estimating poverty in the country and income distribution, will be carried out by the area of Surveys and Longitudinal Studies of the Catholic University in two phases: a “pre-contact”, between September 21 and October 31, and one through phone calls, between October 31 and January 31.
The secretary of state told CHV News that the first stage consists in that “a person is going to approach the home, dressed in the PUC uniform, is going to have a credential and a letter where you are going to ask the person who lives in the place to help us answering the survey“.
“What we are looking for is to establish, as their name says, a pre-contact with the person, ask for a phone number, explain what the survey will consist of when we call them by phone and nothing else”, all this without exceeding the duration of five minutes, to avoid the spread of Covid-19.
Along with this, a sanitary protocol was established, for example, “the person who makes the pre-contact hopefully does not touch any surface of the house and if he rings the bell, he will have to clean it immediately; he or she will not enter the home and whoever lives there will not leave their home and they must keep a distance of one meter. “
Meanwhile, when they start phone calls, these may not last more than 30 minutes, “because it is an abbreviated Casen under the circumstances,” according to Rubilar.
