Interviewer instructions
c) Filling in pages 2 and 3
1. Columns P1 to P14: The whole population
These columns are to be filled in for all the members of the household: residents and visitors.
Ask the head of the household or the person who answers your questions to give you the names of all present and absent residents (for less than six months) of the household. Classify them under column P2 in the following order:
- Head of household,
- Unmarried children of the head of the household whose mother does not live in the household
- Spouse of the head of the household followed by his or her unmarried children beginning with the oldest.
Where the head of the household is a polygamist, each of his wives must be followed by her unmarried children beginning with the oldest, if they are members of the household.
- Married children of the head of the household or of his wife (wives) followed by their spouses.
- Relatives of the head of me household or of his spouse(s): ascendants (father, mother, grandparents), descendants (grandchildren, great grandchildren) whose parents are not members of the household; collaterals (brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, cousins)
- Persons not related to the head of the household or to his spouse(s): friends, lodgers, house servants, employees who are members of the household
All these persons who are related or not to the head of the household will be followed if necessary by their spouse (s) and children if the latter are members of the household
If after such classification, the head of the household realizes that he has forgotten a resident member of the household, write down his name after the other resident members.
Once all the residents of the household have been listed, ask if there are visitors in the household. If so, also classify them as in the previous case.
After this inventory of the members, first fill in columns P1 to P5 for all the members and, as from column P6 fill in, line by line, the individual questions for each of them.
Column P11: Place of previous residence
This question concerns all the members of the household, residents and visitors.
The place of previous residence is the subdivision or district in which the counted person had lived (for at least 6 months) before coming to establish in the place of residence during the census, if it is in Cameroon. However, if it is abroad, write the name of the country.
Fill in this column as follows: first of all, ask if the person has lived for more than 6 months in any subdivision or district other than the one in which-he is residing at the time of the census.
If he answers no write 'the person has never lived in any other subdivision or district'
If he answers yes, there will then be two possibilities.
a) Former residence is in Cameroon: write the name of the subdivision or district of the former residence if it is given.
If he does not know the subdivision nor district, write the name of the locality followed by the division, in brackets, in which the locality of the former residence is found.
b) Former residence is out of Cameroon: write in letters the name of the country in which the former residence is found.
Examples:
1) A resident in a household in Yaounde tells you that he was born in Yaounde and has never lived for more than six months out of Yaounde. For him, write no in column P11.
2) A resident in a household in Yaouride tells you that he has been in Yaounde for one year; he lived in Mbalmayo for 8 months before establishing in Yaounde. For him, you should write Mbalmayo in column P11
3) A visitor in a household in Yaounde tells you that he has been in Yaounde for one week, has lived in Mbalmayo for one year and lived in Sangmelima for 8 months before going to Mbalmayo. For him, you should write Sangmelima in column P11
