Interviewer instructions
Questions 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 are asked to all people whatever their age.




3.1 Relationship

The objective is to identify the relation or link that each one of the members of the household has with the head of household; for example, spouse, child, grandchild, son-in-law, mother, etc.

When asking this question, consider the following:

- For the first person do not read this question, only confirm being head and mark the circle with code 1. For the rest of the people mention the name and ask the question.
- The relationship should be established in relation to the head of household and not the informant, unless he or she is the head.
- Remember that there can only be one head for each household and it can be man or woman.

[To the right of the text is a form for 3.1 Relationship.]

- When the answer is spouse, child or grandchild, mark the circle or the corresponding code.
- If they tell you that the relationship with the head is father, niece, brother, daughter-in-law, godson or sister-in-law, among others, write the answer in Other.
- You should not write down their names, for example it is incorrect to write Son of Juan, or Grandson of Petra.
- When the household is formed by a group of people without relationship, establish it with respect to the first person in the list (who remains registered as head) and write down in the box what they tell you: friend, does not have relationship, without relationship.


[p. 70]


- When they say the word companion or pair, investigate if it refers to a conjugal relationship; if so, mark circle 2, corresponding to the option spouse or companion; if the relationship refers to another situation, like for example, companion of work or school companion, write down friend.

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

- If in a household domestic workers exist, write down in Other, the service done in the dwelling, for example, domestic worker, cook, gardener, etc; if family members live with a domestic worker, write down: son of domestic worker, niece of the cook, etc.
- If one is declared to be a guest, register in Other.
- If they give you descriptions that imply a double relationship or relation with the head, like friend and nephew, sister and godmother or also cousin and brother-in-law, give priority to the closest relationship, in this case nephew, sister and cousin, respectively.
