Description
Definition
For the purpose of BLSS 2007, a household member is categorized as
1) Usual member
2) Visiting member
1. Usual member:
A person who ‘normally’ lives in the household. The word ‘normally’ is taken to mean that the person concerned has lived in the household for at least 6 of the last 12 months.
The following categories are counted as usual household members even though they have lived less than 6 months in the past 12 months:
a) In-country school/college students who stay as boarders and all students outside
Bhutan.
b) Arm force personnel who live in barracks (‘dekha’) and Monks (‘Gelongs’) who live in Shedas/Gomdeys/Dratshangs and outside Bhutan
c) Infants who are less than six months old.
d) Newly married couples who have been living together for less than six months.
e) Servants and other paid domestic employees, if they live with the household.
f) Persons who have recently joined the household, and are expected to live in this household permanently in the future.
g) Members who are currently staying in the household.
2. Visiting member:
A person who is living in a household as temporary guest/visitor at the time of enumeration, but who does not ‘normally’ stay there.
The following categories are not counted as household members:
(a) People who have lived in the household for more than 6 months out of the past 12 months but who are no longer members of the household (e.g because of death or separation)
(b) People who live in the same dwelling, but do not share food expences or eat meals together (e.g two brothers living in the same dwelling, but having separate food budgets and separate cooking arrangements)
