Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">3. Relationship</span>
<br />This question identifies the family relationship of each person with the head; for example: wife, husband, son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, among others.</p>
<p>Search the relationship always with respect to the head and no with respect to the informant, unless he/she is the head. Remember that there can be only one head in the dwelling, regardless of the gender.</p>
<p>Read the question, listen to the answer and circle the appropriate code. Write only on the line if the information declared by the informant is another relationship that is not listed in options 2 to 7. For example: niece, nephew, grandmother, grandfather, chauffeur, domestic worker, and so on.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Since the first person is the head, you must confirm it in this question as follows: "Is Sofia the head?". For the other people ask the question including the word "head": "What is the relationship of Miguel with the head?"</p>
<p>When the informant did not identify anyone as head, circle the code 1 for the first person and ask the relationship with respect to that person.
