Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form</span></p>

<p><span class="h3">Part 1: Information about members of the household</span>
<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">Test 1 (KT1)</span>
<br />The test question is intended to identify people under 5 years old (born after March 2014) to proceed to Question 8; for people aged 5 years and older (born before April 2014), DTV proceeds to Question 9.</p>

<p>For people with a year of birth but no information on month of birth (month of birth in Question 4 is recorded as code "98"), DTV identifies people born after 2014 to proceed to Question 8; for people born in 2014 or earlier, proceed to Question 9.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 8: Is [the respondent] registered for birth now?</span>
<br />This question is intended to collect information on birth registration status for children under 5 years old (born after March 2014).</p>

<p>Birth registration is the registration of birth for a newborn child at a competent state agency and must be carried out within the statutory period from the child's date of birth.</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p.46]</span></p>

<p>In case a child has been registered for birth by his/her family but is waiting for the birth certificate, it will still be counted as having registered for birth.
