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 P12: Duration of residence
Note that this column concerns only persons for whom you have written a sub-division or district, a locality or a country, in column P11.
Their duration of residence is therefore the number of years spent in their place of usual residence.
a) If you have written no for a person in column P11: put a dash in column P12.
b) If you have written a sub-division or district, a locality or a country in column P11 for a person: write in column P12 the number of complete years since his last change of residence if the date of settling is known. Write 00 for all those whose duration is less than one year.
If the only the year of settling is known then subtract that year from 1986 to obtain the number of complete years since his last change of residence.
Taking the previous examples:
1) You have written no in column P11: put a dash in column 12 because the person has never changed residence.
2) You have written Mbalmayo in .column P11: write 01 in column. P12 because the person has been living in Yaounde for one year since he left Mbalmayo.
3 )You have written Siingrnelima in column P11: write 00 in column P12 because the person has been living in Mbalmayo for 8 months since he left Sangmelima.
