Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="MX95A403"><span class="em">3.5 Sex</span><br /><br />The objective of this question is to know the composition of the population by sex. Here it is indispensable to have an answer.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 87]</span><br /><br />Sex is understood to be the biological condition that distinguishes people into men and women.<br /><br />Circle the code according to the sex of the person questioned.<br /><br />When asking for the sex of each person, ask it in an affirmative tone if the name does not allow room for doubt, but if it is a name that can be used for both men and women, then ask the question word for word. The same thing happens with cases of names that are not common and therefore, can correspond equally to a man or woman.<br /><br />Some examples of common names for both sexes are: Guadalupe, Rosario, Inés, Asunción, Refugio, Concepción, Nazareth, Abigail, Jesús, Soledad, Cristian, Areli, etc.<br /><br />Circle only one response.<br /></svar>
