Interviewer instructions

Question 11. How many rooms (bedrooms) are in this household?

The objective of this question is to determine the number of rooms or bedrooms that the household has, including those that are not being used during time the census is being taken. This question is essential to measure the level of overcrowding in the households.

Verify in question 7 that the Total number of rooms of the household is higher than the Number of bedrooms or rooms that are used only for sleeping.

If a person lives in a room that does not have divisions, in other words, there are no spaces separated by walls of concrete, wood or any other material, and in that room there is a bed for sleeping and a stove, then in this case there is no bedroom. In this case, you should record in Number of bedrooms 00.
