<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">5. Ethnic group</span>
<br />When determining whether or not a person is indigenous it is important to respect the right of an individual to identify his/her own ethnic group. This must be determined by asking the person directly, and not simply through what you observe.</p>
<p>[A graphic of box 5 "ethnic group," is reproduced on the right-hand side of the page.]</p>
<p>For children or those who are not able to self-identify, ask the parents or respondent about the person's ethnic identity.</p>
<p>Ask, "Are you indigenous?" and then mark an X in the appropriate circle.
