Interviewer instructions
P05. Born in this Village/Town: Was (name) born in this town or village?
In this Census, the town or village (locality) of birth of a person is the usual residence (town or village) of the respondent's mother at the time of respondent's birth. For example, Akua Mansa who normally resides with her husband at New Tafo (eastern region) went to Accra (Greater Accra) to deliver her child in her mother's house. In such a case, the place of birth of her child will be New Tafo and not Accra. If, however, she stays in Accra after her child's birth for six months or intends to stay there for six months or more then the birthplace of her child will be Accra and not New Tafo.

The following should not be regarded as birthplace of respondent

(a) A hospital or maternity home outside the usual place of residence of the mother;
(b) The hometown of the mother's mother; or
(c) Some other locality where the mother had gone for a short visit and given birth.


If, however, the mother's length of stay outside her locality of usual residence is six months or more or the mother has the intention of staying in the new place for six months or more the 'actual town/village of physical birth' is considered as the birthplace of the person in question.

Note that a 'yes' response will skip you to P07.
