Interviewer instructions
P-09b "In which country was (the person) born?"
Write the name of the country in the boxes provided. Use the name the country is presently known by. Do not add names of cities or provinces.
Remember to use capital letters for the answers to 9a and 9b, and not to leave spaces between words.
Some people are reluctant to tell you where they were born. If necessary, you can stress that the information is only used for statistical purposes and will never be released to the police or other government departments in an identifiable form, only as numerical totals.
P-12 "Five years ago (at the time of Census '96), was (the person) living in this place (i.e. this suburb, ward, township, village, farm, informal settlement)?"
If the answer is "Yes" dot the Y box, if "No" dot the N box. Dot the box marked B for people who were not alive at the time of the last census (B = born after October 1996).
[P. 44]
The main issue here is, what counts as a move? Again the question refers to a very small area -- the sub-place. If the person lived in the same dwelling 5 years ago the answer is "Yes". If the respondent has moved within the same "sub-place" from one house to another, the answer should also be "Yes" because we do not count short-distance residential moves for this question. If the person was living in a different sub-place from the one on the front of the 09 book, the answer is "No".
If "Yes" or born after October 96 skip P-12a and P-12b and go to Question P-13.
If "No" go to Questions P-12a and P-12b.
Write the name of the country in the boxes provided. Use the name the country is presently known by. Do not add names of cities or provinces.
