Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Questionnaire section C: "household members who stayed last night"</span>
<br />Section C consists of two questions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Question 6.c, where all individual members of the household who stayed at the housing unit last night are listed.<br />- Question 6.d, which asks for and records the total number of persons mentioned in 6.c, broken down by sex.</div><p>To list the members of the household, you must first ascertain who is the head of household.
<br /><span class="em">Who is the head of household?</span>
<br />The head of household is a member of the household, aged 15 years or over, who is recognized as such by the rest of the members.
<br />Careful! If the person considered to be the head of household did not stay the night before in the housing unit and was or will be recorded elsewhere, a head of household must be chosen from among the persons who actually stayed the night in the housing unit.
<br />To complete the list of household members in section C, it is important to identify the head of household, since the order in which each of the members is listed in question 6.c is determined by their relationship to the head of household.
<br />Important: If the members of the household do not recognize a head of household, the first informant will be the one who must designate the head of household, and the relationships must be established with respect to this person.
<br /><span class="pg">[p. 25]</span>
<br /><span class="em">[Question 6.c, household roster]</span>
<br />This list will help you to organize the persons who you must record in order. Invite all persons in the housing unit who must be recorded to participate in the interview. This way, it will be easier for you to complete the questionnaire, and you will have fewer omissions.
<br /><span class="em">Don't forget to include babies, girls, boys and elderly persons.</span>
<br />You must ask and write the full name, relationship with the head of household and sex of all members of the household. Always enter the head of household on the first line.
<br /><span class="em">Remember that only one person can fill the role of head of household.</span>
<br />[Figure omitted, image of question 6.c from the questionnaire]
<br /><span class="em">[Question 6.d, total number of persons]</span>
<br />Important: You must always ask the question and not perform the summation yourself, since this way we will corroborate whether all members of the household have been included.
<br />Ask for and record the total number of persons who make up the household, the number of males, and the number of females. Remember to include babies, girls, boys, elderly persons and visitors who stayed at the housing unit the night before.
<br />[Figure omitted, image of question 6.d from the questionnaire]
<br /><span class="pg">[p. 26]</span>
<br />Important: The information that you enter on question 6.d must be transferred to the C2 or C3 summary sheet after conducting all the interviews in the housing unit.
<br />[Figure omitted, image of questions 6.c and 6.d]</p>
<p><span class="h2">Questionnaire section D: "Personal information"</span>
<br />Interview each member of the household using one page for each person. The order in which you must conduct the interviews is the same as you entered on question 6.c. Therefore, person No. 1 will correspond to the head of household, while person No. 2 will be the person you entered on the second row, and so forth.
<br />It is very important that you follow the order as entered on question 6.c for conducting the interviews in section D. This way, you will avoid leaving someone out without being recorded for the census.</p>
<p><span class="em">[Question 7, relationship to household head]</span>
<br />You must mark only one alternative per question. This refers to the relationship or family ties existing between the person who is being recorded and the head of household.
