<span class="em"> 6.2.3.4 Status of residence (Column P5) </span>
<br />The reference set to collect data on the state of residence is the night before the passage of the enumerator in the household. The different categories of residents (PR and RA) and visitor status will be distinguished by referring to that night. Refer to the definitions of residents and visitors provided in the concepts.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[pg. 20]</span></p>
<p>The agent must write the code corresponding to the location of residence in the box: "1" for RP (Present Resident), "2" for RA (Absent Resident) "3" for V (Visitor). A head of household is never "visitor" in his household.</p>
<p>[Omitted examples] </p>
<p>Special cases: </p>
<div class="i1">1. Field staff (enumerators, team leaders, supervisors, etc.) is identified as Present Resident (RP) in their respective households. <br />2. Newly transferred government officials to a location are identified in RP in this location;<br />3. Women who have gone to give birth at a relativ[Name]'s home are recorded as a "visitor" (code "3") with her parents. However, they are recorded "RA" (code "2") in their husband?s household.<br />4. Students living in boarding schools, those staying in hospitals or rehabilitation centers (prisons, Bollé), nuns living in convents are surveyed in these institutions called "collective households" as present residents (code "1").</div><p>Special cases for the residential state of nomadic households</p>
<div class="i1">Nomadic households are surveyed in the areas where it is assumed they will be found (usual residence or gathering point). When preparing RGPH, these collection points will have been identified. We call these zones that correspond to their usual place of residence "usual corridor of nomadism."<br />In the case where the agent surveys a nomadic household in their "corridor," residency status is "RP" for all household members present. If a household member has not spent the night before the agent's visit with the household, but spent the night in the "corridor" or out of "corridor," he is noted "RA."<br />In the case where the nomadic household is located outside the "corridor," we still consider the household as "RP" (code "1") even if the stay is less than 6 months. A household member is noted "RA" if he did not spend the night with the household (whether inside or outside the "corridor").<br />Thus, an individual member of a nomadic household living outside the household is considered a visitor in the place of enumeration (where he will be seen).</div>
