Interviewer instructions

[p.25]
Questions that are asked of all of the persons

You should ask questions 1: relationship; 2: sex; 3: Age; 4: place of birth of all of the persons that normally live in the dwelling, no matter what their age is.

3. Age

Do not forget that you must always get and write down an answer.

There are persons who have the custom of answering the number of years that they will complete, for example: "I am almost 23." Since you are asking the number of years completed, you should write:

[22]

Write the number
If the person is less than one year old, mark the corresponding box:

If this person is less than one year old
Mark with an x
[x]

If the person does not remember his/her age, help the person remember by trying to remember an important activity in his/her life, for example, how old were you when you got married and how many years have you been married?
