Interviewer instructions
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (8-34)
This section includes questions (Questions 8-34) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted. Whether the household head is at home or not, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from Question 8 to Question 34). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section are identical to the ones written in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, (except for household members not at home) also write down all the characteristics of all the household members who are present at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write using printed letters into the pertinent section and in order of their ages the names surnames and all the characteristics of those who, while being present at home, are not household members (guests). Answer questions with a box by placing an "X" into it.
Question 11: What is your degree of kinship to the household head?
(For those not living in this home continuously, write "Guest")
Write the kinship relationship to the household head of the members of the household for which the census is being conducted. In obtaining answers about the degree of kinship, pay attention to the following guidelines
Among those belonging to the same household who are at home at the time of the census, clearly denote the degree of kinship to the household head of those related to him/her by kinship.
For example: After writing "H.H.H." for the household head him/herself, for the others, write spouse, son, daughter, mother, father, daughter in-law, grandchild, maternal uncle, and so on, according to the relationship
For people belonging to the same household, who have no kinship tie to the household head, write "None".
For people not belonging to the household who are also being administered the census together with the household (whether a relative or not of the household head), write "Guest".
For people such as a son, daughter, daughter in-law visiting their father on census day, but who belong to a separate household, write "Guest" regardless of the kinship relationship to the household head.
For places where people are located at the time of the census that do not constitute a household (a military post, a jail, a hospital, a train, a boat, a bus, a terminal, a hostel, a school, a dormitory, etc.), enter "X" for this question.
