<span class="em">3.3.4 Section VII: Persons in the census household</span></p>
<p>The first seven questions sets in this section refer to family relationship, age, sex, current marital status, ethnic group, death of mother and disability.</p>
<p>Questions 8-12 refer to the person's migration and ethnic characteristics. Only questions 11 and 12 are for persons aged three and older.</p>
<p>Questions 13-15 refer to literacy, level of education and attendance at school and are intended for persons aged seven and older.</p>
<p>The four following questions (16-19) refer to the person's type of economic activity, principal employment, branch of activity, and occupational category. They are also intended for persons aged seven and older.</p>
<p>The last five questions (20-24) cover fertility, and are intended only for females aged 12 and older.</p>
<p>The housing form has enough space to record a maximum of ten person, and so the section is repeated an equal number of times. The information about each person who spends the night in the homeless shelter should be written in the same order as they were listed in section V, "list of persons."</p>
<p>If the homeless shelter has more than ten persons, use an additional form.</p>
<p>Section VII is designed to allow you to record the complete information about one person. Write the person's order number in the grid space according to the list in section V. Spell out completely the first names and complete surnames of each person.</p>
<p><span class="em">8. Place of birth</span>
<br />For the purposes of the census the enumerated person's place of birth is the municipality in which the mother was residing at the time of birth. This is so even if the mother gave birth in a municipality other than that of her residence for medical or other reasons.
<br />Ask, "In which department, municipality or country were you born?"</p>
<p>[A graphic of box 8, "place of birth," is reproduced on the right-hand side of the page.]</p>
<p>If the person you are enumerating was born in the municipality in which you are interviewing him/her, mark an X in the circle for the 00 option, "In this municipality," and leave the rest of the question set blank.</p>
<p>If the person was born in a different municipality, write the name and department of the municipality.</p>
<p>The box for country is only for people born abroad. Write the year of their arrival. </p>
<p>Leave the grid spaces on the right of the box blank; they are for office use only.
