<p><span class="em"> Q: What is [the person]'s relationship to the head of this household?</span></p>
<p>Enter the appropriate two-digit code in the shaded area under column A3 as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">[] "00" when the person is the head of household<br />[] "01" when the person is the head's spouse<br />[] "02" for the head's son/daughter<br />[] "03" for the heads step child<br />[] "04" for the head's grandchild<br />[] "05" for heads parent<br />[] "06" for the head's grandparent<br />[] "07" for the head's brother/sister<br />[] "08" for the head's nephew or niece<br />[] "09" for other relations<br />[] "10" not related</div><p>The respondent may indicate that someone is the head's spouse even if the man and woman are not legally married. They may be living together without having gone through any form of marriage ceremony, whether tribal, civil, religious or other. Nevertheless, if the respondent indicates that someone is the spouse of the head of household, you should enter code 01, even if you later are told in column A20 that the two individuals are "living together". A person may effectively be the spouse, in terms of the role that person plays in the household, even if legally that person is not married to the head of the household.
