Interviewer instructions

2. Flap: Particulars of all individuals
Purpose: This page will collect information on name, age and gender of every household member and all visitors present on census night.

The first person to be listed on the census questionnaire must be the head or acting head of the household (a household member that makes decisions for the household).
If the household has two equal decision-makers, then the oldest person of the two will be put as the head of household (person 01).
F-00: Complete the leading zeros for each person in the household (depending on the number of people in the household). E.g. First person in the questionnaire (head of household) must be 01, followed by person 02, then 03 for the third person, etc.
If there are more than 10 people in the household, use a second questionnaire (start with 11 in the second questionnaire until person 20).
Names are used for reference purposes when completing the questionnaire. Names will not be processed.
The names of the head of the household must be written in full (name and surname). For the rest of the household members sharing the same surname as the head of household, only their names can be completed. Those members with a different surname to that of the head of the household must complete their names in full (name and surname).
For age, please provide completed years, e.g. if a baby is nine months old, complete
000, as the baby is not yet a year old. For a person aged 17 and 11 months, complete
017 as the person is not yet 18 years old.

a. Example ? Flap (below):
This household had three people on census night. Note that the examples are there to guide you when completing information for your own household.
