Interviewer instructions
Section 4 - Birthplace and residence
These questions are to be asked of all persons.
These questions are intended to study internal migration or the movement of people between the parishes in Jamaica. Movements apply only to those taking place between parishes and residence abroad is not regarded as a move for the purpose of studying internal migration.
5.47 Question 4.2 Usual Residence
This question is to be asked only of persons whose usual residence is not the household, i.e. where the answer at Q4.1 is "No".
[p.45]
In that case it may be either a parish in Jamaica or a foreign country. Score the relevant position for whichever the person indicates. (See Appendix III for the classification of foreign countries).
Note that it is possible for the person to live in another household in the same parish in which you are working.
[For collective households]
Questions 4.1-4.2 - Usual Residence: As discussed above, this is to be taken as the individual's home address even in the case of patients spending more than six months in Public General Hospitals. Staff members may, however, have "Usual Residence in the group dwelling."
