<span class="h3">6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people</span></p>
<p>In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.</p>
<p>Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.</p>
