Question 7
Residence The enumerator should mark the respondent's residence as of midnight of 4 January 2000--the census moment. The administrative unit is the soum in the aimag and district in the capital. Persons who are counted as temporary absent in a particular soum or district and counted as a visitor in a recent place during the census days. There are three categories to define person's residence. These are:
1) permanent resident
2) temporary absent
3) visitor
(There are special instructions for those who have Mongolian citizenship and are enumerated abroad, soldiers and prisoners).
Permanent resident.
At the time of census, people who were living in the place of their usual residence will be considered permanent residents.
Those people who are living in a place more than six months whether they registered or not at that administrative unit will be considered permanent residents.
Also, people who are living less than six months but intend to live more than six months will be considered as permanent residents.
For example: People who came from the countryside to UB one month ago, but intended to live in UB six months and more than six months will be considered as permanent residents.
However, the enumerator should clearly explain to these people that they are enumerated as permanent residents only for the population and housing census.
This will not effect on their administrative registration status.
During the census, people who were not in their household and country belong to the following categories will be considered as permanent resident.
persons on holidays
