Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Column 8: Past Residence</span></p>
<p>Where did [the respondent] live this time last year?</p>
<p>This question deals with the usual place where each person was living a year before the census. Proceed as follows:</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p.23]</span></p>
<p>For children who are under one year of age at the time of enumeration, enter 0000 (because this time a year ago they had not been born).</p>
<p>For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as last year, enter 0001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) last year, enter 0002.</p>
<p>For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the place (as described for A7), and also look up the appropriate code from the Village/Country List as above. Enter the code below the name of the place you have just written.</p>
<p>For a person who was living outside Botswana a year before the census, enter the name and code number for the country, prefixing the code by 77, e.g. if Lesotho, enter code 7703.</p>
<p>Remember, this is the usual place of residence a year before the census - even if on the same night one year ago they were temporarily away (e.g. visiting friends/relatives, in hospital).</p>
<p>In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 103, James, Anne and Molelo were all living in this household a year ago, so they are coded 0001 in column AB. Since Mimi had not yet been born a year ago, she is coded 0000. Anthony was living at the boarding school in Francis town a year ago, so he is coded as he was in column A7. David was living in Gaborone last year, so "Gaborone" is written in the unshaded area and the code 0101 is entered in the shaded area. Thembe was living in South Africa, and she is coded as she was in column A7.
