Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">6.5 Section V. Residents of the home and identification of households</span>
<br />The purpose of this section is to identify, in each interview, how many people normally reside in the home and how many households make up this group of people.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:
<br />This section contains four questions, which are asked in each interview as if being asked for the first time.</p>
<p>Although it has already been stated, it is worth emphasizing how important it is, when conducting the interview, to ask the questions textually, in order to avoid losing valuable information, as in this case, the identification of habitual residents of the home, and the questions are designed in such a way that it is the informant, and not you, who defines who are the habitual residents of their home.</p>
<p>A typical case in which the informant tends to have doubts when defining the residence status is that of students and workers who, due to the long distance to their study and work centers, respectively, must reside, most of the week, in another private home. Only in this type of cases will you be the one to decide whether or not to consider a person a habitual resident based on the criteria listed in the next question.</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 1</span>
<br />The question is asked in each interview to learn the total number of people who habitually reside in the home.</p>
<p>Habitual resident. Person who normally lives in the selected home, in which they usually sleep, eat and are protected from the environment; as well as those found in the home at the time of the interview who did not have another place to live.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<p><span class="ital">Habitual residents:</span></p>
<p>The people who normally live in the home, regardless of their nationality.</p>
<p>Newborns (including those who have not arrived at the home because they are still in the hospital).</p>
<p>People who don't sleep regularly in selected home but rather in:</p>
<div class="i1">- A group living arrangement, such as: boats, ships, work camps, barracks, hotels, oil platforms, for work reasons, as in the case of fishermen, army personnel, air force, marines, police, travel agents, truck drivers.<br />- Their place of work: industrial plant, hospital, for example, nurses, night watchmen.<br />- Their place of study, such as the dormitory in the case of students.</div><p>Those temporarily absent due to passing circumstances, such as completing academic practice, travel for business or pleasure, work commission.</p>
<p>People who are hospitalized and inmates in a prison, as long as the absence is less than or equal to 3 months, as of the interview date. If on two consecutive visits a person is reported as absent, consider them a non-resident.</p>
<p><span class="ital">Not habitual residents of the home of origin (selected):</span>
<br />Students and workers who normally sleep most of the week in a private home other than the selected home, due to the distance to their workplace or study center</p>
<p>People who have resided for more than three months in a group living arrangement located in the national territory, for example, patients in a hospital, people in jail facing a legal problem, people professing their religious faith. Exclude workers and students.</p>
<p>People who have been living abroad for more than three months without reporting the reasons for their stay: legal provisions, academic or religious training, work, etc.</p>
<p>People who arrived at the selected home with the intention of remaining only for a time while they resolve a contingency in their own home or in their household. For example, during a flood or earthquake risk, problems with public safety or a personal conflict.</p>
<p>If they are still residing in the home at the next interview, check their residence status asking if they intend to continue living in that home permanently or for at least three more months; if so, consider them residents, otherwise no.</p>
<p><span class="ital">Habitual residents:</span>
<br />People who are present at the time of the interview because they have no other fixed place to live: elderly or children of divorced parents who are temporarily living in different homes.</p>
<p>Guests or tenants (that is, people who pay for the service of lodging and food, or only for the first).</p>
<p>Domestic workers and their families who live in the same home as their employers, sleep and prepare their meals.</p>
<p><span class="ital">Not habitual residents of the home of origin (selected):</span></p>
<p>Permanently absent. People who have been living somewhere else permanently, regardless of the time that has passed since they left or the reason: school, work, marriage, divorce, etc.</p>
<p>People with a residence for more than three months in an unknown location. If a person has left the selected home more than three months ago, counted from the moment they left, and it is not known if they live in a private or a group living arrangement, do not count them as a resident of the (selected) home.</p>
<p>Sequence to follow. If only one person resides in the home, enter the indicated amount (01); and do not ask question number two so it doesn't sound out of context, but do not leave it blank for any reason, in these cases always assign the response option 1 in question 2. If two or more people reside in the home, continue with the normal interview, that is, read the questions that follow.
