Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Chapter F. The person's main characteristics</span></p>

<p>Person number: In private dwellings, you should number the people consecutively starting with the head of household and ending with the last person present in the dwelling. In collective dwellings, the first position and the number 1 may be assigned to any member of the collective household. The same applies to people with no dwelling.</p>

<p>Person's name. In this space, write the person's given name. The last name is not needed. The person's name is there only to facilitate the data collection.</p>

<p><span class="h3">F1. For all people</span></p>

<p><span class="em">23. Familial or other relationship</span><div class="i1"><span class="em">In private dwellings:</span><br />To collect information about the familial or other relationship within a private household, it is first necessary to identify the person who is the head of household and then the other members of the household. The head of household is the person recognized as such by the other household members, regardless of the person's sex, age, or income. <br />For technical reasons, each private household must have a head of household. <br />The question about familial or other relationship refers the relationship between each member of the household and the head of household. The answer should be noted down as follows: <br />Ask who is the head of household, note down code 1 (head of household) and begin the interview with this person. Then proceed likewise with each person present at the time of the census, following as closely as possible the order of the different familial and other relationships.<br /><br /><span class="em">In collective dwellings and in the case of people with no dwelling:</span><br />In these cases, mark the relationship with code 11. Then interview the first person, then the second, and so on to the last person. In these cases, no head of household is identified and the people can therefore be counted in any order.</div>
