Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Section 1 - Characteristics</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Question 4 - Date of birth/age</span></p>
<p>You are required to write in the date of birth i.e. the day, month and year of birth for each person in the household. If the date of birth cannot be given, it is necessary to have, at least, a current estimate of the age of the person in completed years since the last birthday. If a person is six years old, the entry is written _ _ 6 all ages must be right justified. If a person is 10, the entry is written _ 10.</p>
<p>During the preliminary enumeration it must be ascertained by you whether any member of the household has a birthday between the day you are enumerating the household and Census Day.</p>
<p>You will find it necessary to circle the "person number" e.g. 01, of all persons who will be aged fifteen years between the start of enumeration on 17th April, 2000 and Census Day, 15th May, 2000; i.e. date of birth between the 17th April and 15'h May 1985. Females born between the 17th April and 15th May, 1986 should be also identified.</p>
<p>Such identification will assist you with:</p>
<div class="i1">Section 4 - Economic activity<br />Section 5 - Highest level of training<br />Section 8 - Income (apply to all persons fifteen years old and over)<br />Section 7 - Fertility (apply to all females fourteen years old and over)</div><p>Every effort should be made to obtain the date of birth. There may be instances, especially in the case of senior citizens, where respondents do not remember their correct ages.</p>
<p>Perhaps reference to some major events, such as World Wars I and II, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, respectively, fires, floods, or hurricanes, may be helpful. By referring to such events and by considering other information available about the individual make every effort to estimate his/her age.</p>
<p>Do not leave this question blank. Obtain some estimate from the respondent.</p>
<p>Where age is estimated put an "e" after the age. For example, 75e
