Interviewer instructions
<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">7. Disability</span>
<br />Take note of the following definitions before you begin asking the questions in this question set.</p>
<p>A disability is the difficulty some people have in hearing, seeing, speaking, learning, and moving as others do. It may be from birth, illness, or any type of accident.</p>
<p>[A graphic of box 7 "disability," is reproduced on the left-hand side of the page.]</p>
<div class="i1">- Physical disability: this is the inability to move one or more parts of the body: legs, arms, trunk or head. Some people may not be able to sit down, stand up or walk.<br /><br />- Sensory disability: this is the total or partial inability to see, hear, or speak. The most important categories are blind, deaf, and deaf-mute.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 50]</span><br /><br />- Mental disability: this is a person, either a child or an adult, who has difficulty learning or understanding and is less developed than he/she should be with respect to his/her age. These are people who appear not to have grown up completely. They have little heads, eyes which are far apart and small or almond-shaped, and a snub nose. They may have a small mouth and a large tongue, for which reason they keep their mouth open and the tongue hangs out, and the back of the head is flatter than normal.</div><p>Ask the respondent, "Is this person disabled" or "is this person blind, deaf, or mute, or does he/she have a mental disability?"</p>
<p>Note that there are more likely to be persons with disabilities among this population. Make sure you enumerate them!
