Specific topics include looking for work, repairing water sources, and raising children. Hypothetical situations are offered on each topic, followed by a series of questions based on these topics.

This subseries contains 1,094 Household Social Surveys/Encuestas sobre la Communidad. These surveys have not been fully analyzed or indexed with other materials in the collection. Some materials were processed and analyzed by Jonathan L. Kelley and Herbert S. Klein for their study Revolution and the Rebirth of Inequality, published in 1981. The surveys consist of open ended questions about family life, household set up (including water and toilet facilities), family size, and opinions about community, education, work, and membership in labor unions.
