For all persons</span><br /><br />From this question [question 27] onwards, each person who spent the night prior to the census day in this dwelling should be interviewed individually. The presence of all persons, including children, should be requested.<br /><br />If the person is younger than 7 years of age or if he cannot make himself understood, his presence should be requested but the information should be provided by the father, mother, or another adult. This person should be present for the duration of the interview.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="BO01A406"><span class="em">Question 29. What is your age in completed years?</span><br /><br />The age should be recorded in years completed up to 0 hours [12 midnight] of the census day. If the person's birthday is the same day as the census, the age should be calculated to the day prior to the census.<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />Juan says that on the census day he turned 16.<br /><br />15 years is recorded in this way:<br /><br />[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form with the age 15 being recorded in the boxes.]<br /><br />If the person only remembers the year of birth, help the person by making the respective calculation. For example: Virginia says that she was born in 1932. Subtract:<br /><br />2001 - 1932 = 69 . . . Therefore, she is 69 years old.<br /><br />For those younger than one year of age, the number 0 is recorded in the boxes. The number 98 is recorded for those who are 98 years of age or older.<br /></svar>
