Question 12: Household
Encircle code 1 if the household is an ordinary household, and encircle code 2 if the household is a special household. Write down the selected code in the available box.
An ordinary [private] household is an individual or a group of people living in a physical/census building unit or [any] part thereof who make common provisions for food and other living essentials.
Example:
1. Someone who rents a room or is part of a census building (in some areas called lodging), but manages for food by himself, is considered as one ordinary separate household.
2. Some people live together in one room or in one census building or physical building and they manage for food by themselves. This is assumed to be one ordinary household.
3. Two families stay together in a census building, and management of food is done by one of the household members. [This] is considered one ordinary household.
4. Two families that stay disjointed in two census buildings, and management of food is done by one of the household members, are therefore considered one ordinary household, if the census building referred to is still in one segment. But if that census building is located on different segments, then [the two] families referred to are assumed to be two ordinary households.
5. A housemaid who lives in their employer's house is considered a household member of her employer. On the contrary, if [she is] living outside her employer's household, she is considered to be a household member [in the household] where he/she resides.
Institutional households consist of:
1. One who lives in a dormitory, that is a residence that manages everyday needs and is arranged by a foundation (non-profit institution) or body, for example nurse dormitory, students' hostel, ABRI (National Army) dormitory, etc. A member of ABRI who lives in a dormitory with relatives which is managed every day by the household itself is not considered a special [institutional] household.
2. One who lives in a reformatory, prison, and other similar types of housing.
3. Ten people or more who lodge together.
Explanation:
1. A household that rents a room or a part of a building lodging fewer than 10 people is considered one ordinary household. If those lodgers total 10 people or more, it is considered a special [institutional] household.
2. Dormitory, reformatory or institutional society official members and other similar persons who stay by themselves and also with their wife, child and/or other household members are considered ordinary households.
