Interviewer instructions
11.5.1 Personal characteristics. The first five questions dealing with personal characteristics are presented to persons of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest persons. The last question, relating to de facto conjugal status, is only presented to those 15 years of age and older.



f) Question 6. De facto conjugal status. Independent of the information obtained on the legal marital status; that is, irrespective of the marital status declared [in the previous question], it should be asked if any of the enumerated persons live in a consensual union with another person. This question should be asked in a discreet manner so as not to offend the informant. If, and only if, the answer is affirmative, the duration of the union is requested, in completed years. For example, a person who declared, for the legal marital status, to be married or widowed may or may not be living in a consensual union with another person in the same way an unmarried person would. Therefore, it is established that the answers received concerning the legal marital status and the de facto conjugal status are independent from each other.
