Interviewer instructions

G. Information of the people
169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.

When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.

In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."

I. General characteristics of all people
The questions included in this chapter are for knowing the distribution of the population by sex, age and civil state; their territorial distribution and movements made within the country in the last 5 years.

You should ask the questions in this chapter to all people who are to be enumerated in the home.

203. For question No. 4 "How old are you?", you should write down the age in completed years at 0 (Zero) Hour of the "Day of the Census".

204. Mrs. González turned 29 years old on the "Day of the Census", what will you write down for question No. 4 "How old are you?"

28 years

205. Daniela, the oldest daughter of the González family, turned four years old on October 15. What age will you write down for question No. 4?

4 years

206. If you find children younger than 1 year, write down "0" (zero).

207. Claudia, the youngest daughter of the González family is three months old. How old is she?

0 (zero) years

208. It is very important to write down the exact age of each person, so you should be very careful with this respect and not omit it in any case.
