Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="NI95A408 NI95A409 NI95A410 NI95A411 NI95A412 NI95A448"><span class="em">Question 4: Place of birth</span><br />For the purpose of the census, we consider the place of birth of the person as the municipality of the habitual residence of the person's mother at the time of birth, even if the delivery occurred in another municipality distinct from the one of the mother's habitual residence, because of medical care or other accidental reasons. If for the census you do not indicate the birth of the child in the place of the mother's residence, then we will have a false result for migrations. Therefore, you should be very careful with this question.<br /><br />You will ask, "In which municipality of the country were you born?" But explaining that you want to know in which municipality the person started to grow up.<br /><br />If the person was born in the same municipality where you are conducting the interview, you will mark the box that corresponds to Category 1 (Here, in this municipality) with an "X" and you will leave the rest blank.<br /><br />If the person was born in another municipality, you will write the name of the municipality. For those who were born in another country, you should be careful to write the complete name of the country of origin clearly and at the same time, write the year of arrival in Nicaragua when the person intended to stay here. Leave the boxes to the right blank; they are for office use.<br /></svar>
