Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="MX10A061"><span class="em">2. Verification of the List of People</span><br />This question seeks to confirm that the number of people listed is exactly the number of people who inhabit the dwelling.<br /><br />The informer frequently forgets to mention some person, and because of this, in order to avoid his/her omission, it is important that you correctly ask that question, since the counting of all the people is one of the central objectives of the census.<br /><br />Read the question: "Then, there are (indicate the total number of people listed) people who live here?" If the response is yes, record the number and circle code 1; if the response is no, correct the list and continue.<br /></svar>
