<br />Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.</p>

<p>The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 12: What is the main reason that [the respondent] moved to the current place of residence?</span>
<br />DTV asks and identifies the main reason that DTDT moved to the household. If DTDT gives 2 or more reasons, DTV tries to ask and identify 1 reason that has the most impact on DTDT moving to the household (main reason).</p>
<div class="i1">Notes:<br />- For people working away from home, when they retired and moved back to the household to live with their family, DTV chooses the answer as code 3 "Following the family/Moving".<br /><br />- In case 1 person has to relocate due to starting a new job and the whole family comes along, DTV records the reason of moving to that person's current place of residence as code 1 "Finding a job/starting a new job", for other members of the household, records as code 3 "Following the family/moving".</div>
