Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CN90A407 CN90A408">7. <span class="em">Status of regular/permanent residence before July 1, 1985</span> -- For those aged 5 and over. This question is divided into two parts. What is on the left-hand-side is the regular residence at midnight of July 1, 1985. There are two answers as follows. For those who lived in this county or city five years ago, circle "01". For those who lived elsewhere but in the same province five years ago, circle "02". For those who lived in other province five years ago, write down the name of the province of the regular residence in the blank "_____ province". For those who lived outside of mainland China five years ago, write down "Hongkong/Macau/Taiwan" or "Foreign Country" in the blank "______ province". The jurisdiction or the name of province five years ago should be consistent with that announced on July 1, 1990.<br /><br />What is on the right-hand-side is the type of regular residence as of July 1, 1985. There are three answers -- circle the answer according to the type of regular residence. For those residing in street communities of cities five years ago, circle "1"; for those residing in towns five years ago, circle "2"; for those who lived in township five years ago, circle "3". The type of regular residence should be answered according to the type of regular residence as of July 1, 1985, rather than the current type. For example, if someone used to live in a "township" five years ago, but it is "town" now, then circle "3" rather than "2".<br /></svar>
