Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">A) Personal and Geographic Characteristics</span></p>

<p>This section is for all residents in the dwelling. It is intended to find out information about the composition of the population according to their relationship with the head of household, sex, age, civil status, whether the mother is alive, place of birth, year of arrival in the country, nationality, and permanent residence in 1969.</p>

<p>Ask questions 1-9 of everyone who is enumerated, without exception and according to the detailed instructions below.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question set 4: Age</span>
<br />How old are you/is the person in completed years?</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 32]</span></p>

<p>The information to obtain for each person is the age in completed years, and not how old the person is going to be at his/her next birthday.</p>

<p>Keeping in mind the importance of this question set, do everything possible to obtain the age in completed years as precisely as possible. If this isn't possible, insist on getting at least an approximate age so that there is always some information about the age.</p>

<p>Record on the appropriate line:
<br />A) The number of completed years for persons aged one or older
<br />B) 00 for persons aged less than one year, including newborns
