Interviewer instructions
While this question specifically asks for the relationship to the head of household, the categories identified are interpreted broadly to include the spouse of partner or the head. Thus Category 3 – child means child (also legally adopted) of either the head or the wife/husband or partner. Similarly, Category 5 - grandchild may be the grandchild of either the head or his/her spouse or partner; and a person classified as “other relative” – Category 7 – may be related to either the head or his/her spouse/partner. Non-relative may include a household helper (living with the Household), a friend, or any other person not related to either the head or his/her spouse/partner.
Description
Definition
For Census purposes every household must have a head. The Head of the Household is the person recognized as such by the respondent. In cases where the respondent does not accept the idea of a head, assign a head and continue the interview.
In the case of a group of unrelated persons sharing a dwelling on an equal basis, take as head the member of the group who is recognized as such by the others.
A person running a guest house or similar establishment that caters for less than six (6) guests is considered the head of that household.
