Interviewer instructions

Section 2 - Characteristics

5.20 General
Question 7 to 14, which comprise Section 2, provide some basic characteristics about the individual and are to be answered for all members of the population except those exempted as special cases. Special Cases are always handled by Special Census Takers and instructions for identifying and handling these Special Cases are given in Part 6.

5.23 Question 9 - Age

[Image omitted here.]

Ask the question this way: "When I ask you for the age of each member of the household, I would like you to give me the age at the last birthday. If any member of this household has had a birthday since June please let me know."
Mark the individual's age (in years) at his last birthday before June 8, 1982, that is, his age in completed years. For infants less than one year old at that time record "00" years. For persons over 99 years, record "99". If the individual answers this question by giving a birth date, calculate his age at the last birthday on or before June 8, 1982 and record the result.
Appendix 1 should be used to assist you in the calculation.
If the individual does not remember his age or does not know it, you should make every effort to obtain the best estimate of it, by referring him to some outstanding events which may have occurred during his lifetime and determining his approximate age at that time.
Appendix 2 gives a list of events which may be used for this purpose.
There must be an entry on age for each individual.
