Description

Definition
A household is an aggregate of persons, generally but not necessarily bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the same roof and eat together or share in common the household food. Members comprise the head of the household, relatives living with him, and other persons who share the community life for reasons of work or other consideration. A person who lives alone is considered a separate household.

HOUSEHOLD HEAD - is the adult member of the household who is responsible for the care and organization of the household or the one who is regarded as such by the members of the household.

Remember that the person whose name appears on the first line of the list of members is the head of the household. All other members should be related to him in some way.


Considered as members of a household are:

a. Persons who are present at the time of visit whose usual place of residence is the sample household regardless of their length of stay in the household;

b. Persons who are present at the time of visit whose usual place of residence is outside the sample household but have stayed temporarily with the sample household for at least 30 days;

3. Employees in Philippine Embassies, consulates and other missions
4. Students abroad/tourists
