Interviewer instructions
3.6 Head of household
For census purposes, every household must have a head.
The head of household is the person, man or woman, who carries the main responsibility in the affairs of the household.
In most cases it will be obvious who the head of the household is: usually it is the person who is the chief breadwinner.
In any event, the person recognized by the respondent as the head should be accepted as such for census purposes.
In the case of a group of unrelated persons sharing a dwelling on an equal basis, that member of the group whom the others acknowledge as such should be taken as the head. A person running a boarding or similar establishment is considered to be the head of that household.
In a one person household, that person is the head.
3.10 Head of non-private household
In group dwellings the officer in charge or the most senior staff member (if he/she is not a household member elsewhere) is to be taken as the head. If there is no one who fits this definition, use as the Head of the Household, the first guest, inmate or patient whom you enumerate.
5.42 Question 1.3: Relationship to head
Score the position that relates to the individual's relationship to the head of the household. Where the word spouse is used, it refers to the legal wife or husband. Partner refers to the common law partner.
Head: This is the person recognized by the respondent as the head and should be accepted as such.
Wife/husband of head: This refers to the wife (or husband) of the head. The partners should be legally married.
Common law partner of head: This refers to a woman (or man) who lives with, but is not married to, the head of the household.
Child of head and spouse/partner: This is to be scored for each child (natural or adopted) of the head of household and the spouse or partner together. "Child" in this case refers to a son or daughter of the head of household and spouse or partner together, regardless of age.
Child of head only: This is to be marked for each child (natural or adopted) of the head of household only. "Child" in this context refers to a son or daughter of the head, regardless of age.
Child of spouse/partner only: This is to be scored for each child (natural or adopted) of the spouse or partner of the head of household only. "Child" in this context refers to a son or daughter of the spouse or partner of the head of household, regardless of age.
In all cases of adoption, the adoption process must have been completed for the child to be regarded as adopted. In cases where the courts have awarded legal guardianship of a child to an adult, the child must still have been legally adopted to be regarded as "Child".
Spouse/partner of child: This is to be marked if the individual is the spouse or partner of any child of either the head or spouse.
Grandchild of head/spouse: This refers to the grandchild of the head or spouse/partner, irrespective of age of the individual.
Parent of head/spouse: This is to be scored for each parent of the head or spouse.
Brother/sister of head/spouse: This refers to the brother or sister of head of household or his/her spouse.
Other relative of head/spouse: This refers to all members of the household who are related to either the head of household or his/her spouse: for example, cousin of head, niece/nephew of spouse, etc.
Domestic employee: This is to be coded for all employees (paid or unpaid) attached to the household and who, according to the definition, are members of the household.
Other non-relative: This refers to all other members of the household who are not related to the head or spouse.
Not stated: This position is to be scored if the information on the relationship to the head of household is not given.
Part 6: Special enumeration
The enumeration of the population resident in non-private dwellings, as well as "Persons of no fixed abode", will in general be carried out by special census takers under the supervision of the area coordinator. In some instances the information will be obtained by direct interview, while in others the administrative records of the institution will be used to extract the relevant information.
