Conclusions
• INEGI has followed the international organizations recommendations (ICATUS)
• In ENUT 2009 INEGI introduced the electronic questionnaire nevertheless we still use the traditional in rural areas in order to obtain a complete scenario of Mexico.
• INEGI produces the satellite account of non-remunerated labor.
