Example:
-- A couple with children lives in a household together with the grandmother who is the woman's mother.
-- The woman (the children's mother) is listed in the first column of the questionnaire.
-- For the husband mark answer 2 "Female/male spouse"
-- For the grandmother mark answer 4 "Father/mother"
-- For each child mark answer 3 "Son/daughter"
[p. 26]
Attention!
-- Mark "Son/daughter" for a son or a daughter of a spouse from previous marriage also.
-- Mark "Son/daughter" for an adopted child.
8.1 Other relative (answer 10)
If the relation to the person listed first is not one of the answers 1-9, like: nephew, uncle, cousin -- mark "Other relative" (answer 10) and write the type of relation.
8.2 Not a relative (answer11)
A person who belongs to the household, but is not a family relative of the person listed in first column, will mark "Not a relative" (answer 11) and will specify his association with the person listed first. Examples: Sub-lessee, roommate, male/female housekeeper (who manage a joint budget with the household).
In a case of a person who has two wives who live in the same apartment: If one of the wives is listed first, the other will be "Not a relative".
8.3 Checking the association with the household
In cases of "brother in law/sister in law", "not a relative" or "other relative" you have to check if the person belongs to the household. If he is a separate household, you have to fill-in a separate questionnaire for him.
