Question 2: Relationship to household head
Relationship to household head includes the following categories:

Household head: is the representative of the household recognized by all household members.
The household head is always recorded in the column with serial number "1". If the household has to use two questionnaire sets or more, then household head will be recorded in the column with serial number "1" on the first set; columns with serial number "1" of the second or third sets will be still used to record other members in the household.
The household head here can be the same or different from that recorded in household register provided by police.
For a household for which the parents are under the management of the Ministry of National Defense or Ministry of Public Security and are recorded according to their own plans, but their children are recorded by the local authority, then these children are defined as a household. The household head will be the oldest child.

Wife/husband: (see the way of interviewing and recording from Question 18, defining "Married")
This includes those who have been recognized by law or local customs and habits as married (wife or husband), or living with a person of the opposite sex as a married couple.
Note: If a household head is living with 2 wives (husbands) or more in his/her household, then all these persons are defined as wives (husbands) of the household head.

Biological child: This includes those who were delivered by the household head himself/herself.

Grandchild: This includes those who were delivered by the biological child (son or daughter) of the household head.

Father/mother: This includes the household head's biological father/mother or the household head's father-in-law/mother-in-law. The adopted father/mother of the household head's wife/husband is also defined as father/mother.

[pg.32]

Others: This includes those who have a relationship other than wife/husband, biological child, biological father/mother, grandchild of the household head. For example, step-child of wife / husband, grandfather / grandmother, brother / sister, aunt / uncle, friend, maid, etc.
