Interviewer instructions
Question 5. What is his/her birth date and age in years completed?

When you arrive at question 5, you should register the day, month, and year of birth, as well as the age. For this, you should ask the person for the day, month, and year, then note the age without asking for it.

[illustration]
5. What is his/her birth date and age in years completed?

Day ____ / Month _____ / Year ____
Age [ _ _ _ ]


For noting the age, use the "Conversion Table for dates of birth to years completed for the Census Day", which appears in Annex 1 of the present manual, noting "00" for those who are less than one year old.

If the person does not remember the date of his/her birth, you will register the age in completed years in the corresponding space, marking dashes in the spaces for day, month, and year.

If the person does not remember even his/her age, you should refer to historic references to help him/her determine his/her age, as for example:

Years
Second North American Intervention 1906
Beginning of the "Vacas Gordas" 1915
The bank crash 1920
The Fall of Machado 1933
The end of the Second World War 1945
Triumph of the Cuban Revolution 1959

In general, the person who do not remember their age tend to give it in numbers that end in 0 or 5, answering, 20, 35, 40 years old, etc. In these cases, you should not write these ages, but you should ask the person again to try to get an exact age by increasing or decreasing the age, and therefore avoid the error produced by the generalized practice of declaring ages ending in "0 or 5".
