<svar a="all" v="MN00A409 MN00A410 MN00A411">Question 7 Residence The enumerator should mark the respondent's residence as of midnight of 4 January 2000--the census moment. The administrative unit is the soum in the aimag and district in the capital. Persons who are counted as temporary absent in a particular soum or district and counted as a visitor in a recent place during the census days.

Permanent resident. At the time of census, people who were living in the place of their usual residence will be considered permanent residents. Those people who are living in a place more than six months whether they registered or not at that administrative unit will be considered permanent residents. Also, people who are living less than six months but intend to live more than six months will be considered as permanent residents. For example: People who came from the countryside to UB one month ago, but intended to live in UB six months and more than six months will be considered as permanent residents. However, the enumerator should clearly explain to these people that they are enumerated as permanent residents only for the population and housing census. This will not effect on their administrative registration status. During the census, people who were not in their household and country belong to the following categories will be considered as permanent resident. <div class="i1">persons on holidays watchman on duty those people who work their jobs for several days like: railway workers, workers of air and auto sectors, post-man people who went on vacation and traveled for less than a week and children who are in 24-hour kindergarten persons temporarily out from their place of residence (went for fire wood, for cattle, for hunting etc) went to military gathering women and infants in a delivery hospital</div> Temporary absent People who are not at their home during the census time and who are temporarily absent from the country for six and less than six months will be considered as temporary absent.
