Interviewer instructions
<svar v="HT82A409 HT82A410 HT82A411 HT82A412 HT82A413 HT82A414 HT82A415"><span class="em">C) Education</span><br />[Questions 10-16.]<br />71. Questions relating to education are only asked of people 6 years old or more. For all people less than 6 years old, the interrogation stops at question 9.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a=" HT82A408" v="HT82A408 HT82A409">Question 14: Literacy (reading and writing)<br />75. The data on the reading and writing aptitude must allow you to distinguish between the literate and the illiterate. An illiterate person is a person incapable of reading and writing, with understanding, a short and simple statement of facts related to daily life. As a consequence, a person capable only of reading and writing numbers and his name must be considered as illiterate, just as is the case for a person who knows how to read but cannot write or a person who can only read and write something which they have learned by heart.<br /></svar>
