Interviewer instructions
E01. Has any former member of this household been living continuously for 6 months or more outside Ghana?

This question seeks to identify all former household members who have emigrated and lived continuously outside Ghana for 6 months or more before Census Night and travelled directly to live in another country. This should include persons who have been visiting from time to time during the period and those who have been away for less than 6 months but intend to stay away for a longer period. Note that we are not referring to people who have moved from one region of Ghana to another. We are referring to those who have travelled outside Ghana and are currently staying outside Ghana. Shade the 'Yes' circle if any former household member has travelled outside for 6 months or more and the 'No' circle if nobody has moved. If the response is 'yes', proceed to ask question E02 (a, b, c, d, e, f). If 'no', skip to P00.
