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 3</span>
<br />This question is asked in each interview to learn the number of households that habitually reside in the homes.</p>
<p>Conceptual clarifications
<br />Don't forget that there will be as may households in a home as groups of people who are sharing grocery expenses.</p>
<p>Remember that if a maximum of up to six households reside in a home, including the main one, regardless of the type of household conformed inside it (household made up of only one couple with or without children; this type of household plus other relatives or non-relatives), you should consider it a private home, that is, subject to interview.</p>
<p>If seven or more households reside in a home, consider it a group living arrangement, in which case you will have to suspend the interview, as it is not subject to study of the survey.</p>
<p>Instructions:
<br />Identification of number of households. To exemplify the way in which the households residing in a home should be counted and the procedure to follow to obtain the information, below is a series of cases on the matter:</p>
<p>[Omitted table]</p>
<div class="i1">- Sequence to follow. If you recorded any number between one and six in question 3, continue with question 4; if the number is greater, end the interview (in this case, go to section ii result of the interview and enter the code 13 other type and report the case to your supervisor).</div>
