Interviewer instructions
<svar v="CN90A028">Population Census is enumerated at the household level. Households can be classified into two types: domestic and institutional. Individuals who live in the same place mostly due to family relationships are counted as a domestic household. Singles who live alone are counted as a domestic household. Individuals who live in the same domestic household should be registered as one household only, regardless of the type of working places and the type of household registrations (agricultural or non-agricultural), and whether they have the formal household registrations.<br /><br />For individuals who do not have family relationships and who live in the collective dormitories of working places such as institutions, organizations, schools, factories, mines, construction sites, farms, companies, stores, hospitals, nurseries, nursing homes, temples, churches; and for those who are in prisons, jails, and labor camps, a whole working unit is counted as a institutional household. Individuals who have active jobs and live collectively are counted as one institutional household as well.<br /></svar></p>
