This quantitativecomponent becomes qualitative when the focus of attention is establishedin the literal reference to "habitually employed workers". Here, the first ofthe elements of interest for the study appears, given by the notion ofworker. Next to this, the personal nature of this component is translatedinto two other unavoidable references, such as the habitual nature of theservice and the causes not inherent to the worker's person.
