Question 1: Relationship to the head of the household

For all persons

1. What relationship does he/she have with (person No. 01)?

[] 1 Head of household
[] 2 Spouse or partner
[] 3 Child or stepchild
[] 4 Son or daughter in law
[] 5 Grandchild or great grandchild

[] 7 Brother or sister in law

Note the "kinship relationship" that each person of the household has with respect to the person 01, who will always be the head of the household or the person of reference.

Head of the household: This is the person considered as such by the rest of the people of the household, or the one that contributes the greatest amount of economic resources to the household, or as a last resort, the oldest.

[p. 139]

Remember that only Person No. 01 must be registered with the category head (code 1). In the non-family groups, the head can be the one that has the most authority, the oldest, the one who has resided most years in the dwelling, or the one who administers to place. For all cases, the head must be a habitual resident older than fifteen years of age.

In the case of the collective households there are no heads of the household nor will the family relations that could exist among the habitual residents be recorded, so that you must include all the people of that collective household in the category called "other non-family" code 12.

In the case of the same sex couples, you must proceed in the same way, always respecting that which was indicated by the informer.
