Interviewer instructions
7. Household members
As mentioned, columns 1 to 40/3 in Form no. 3 are allocated to record normal and collective household members' specifications. In order to fill the columns, you should know who is considered as a member of household.
7.1. Normal household members
Based on the definition, all of the persons who have a common residence (stable or unstable) and common expenditures, are considered as the members of a normal (settled or unsettled) household, even if they have not been present at the time. In other words, a group of people who have both mentioned conditions are members of a normal household. Most of the normal households consist of a couple and their children who live together.
In some cases, other people can be a part of the household, like:
- Relatives and acquaintances that live with the household and have common expenses with them.
- People who live with the household and use the place as a boardinghouse.
- Servants, nurses and other workers whose food, expenditures and residence are common with the household's.
In this census, people other than the ones mentioned are considered a member of the household too. Such persons are:
- Lost individuals
- People who traveled to another country for work or study purposes (and their subordinate companions) and are expected to return to their household after finishing work or studies. "Their household" refers to the one they have been a part of before leaving the country and it is expected for them to return to the same household.
* Remember not to omit the following individuals as members:
- People who are on a trip for pilgrimage, recreation, or work duty, etc. and are not present temporarily.
- People who are on military service and often spend the night with their family.
- People who have more than one residence due to work or studies but spend most of the year with this household.
Do not consider individuals whose usual residence is other than the household's as a member, even if the responder believes so. Some examples are as followed:
- Temporary guests
- People who live part of a year with the household, but their usual residence is somewhere else.
- People who have more than one residence due to work or studies but spend most of the year in the other city or village.
- People who are on military service and often do not spend the night with their family.
- People who are a member of an institutional household.
Attention: exclusively, students who live in institutional dormitories will be considered as a member of that household if, by definition, that institute is identified as their normal residence.
- People who live with another normal household and use their place as a boardinghouse.
7.2. Collective household members
People who live in a place as a group and by definition, that place is considered as their normal residence, are members of a collective household.
7.3. Institutional household members
All individuals who live together in an institute due to a common goal or quality are considered the members of that institutional household. Remember that students who live in institutional dormitories will be considered as a member of that household if, by definition, that institute is identified as their normal residence.
8. Person number, Column 1
In Form no. 3 there are 11 rows to write down household members' specifications. Dedicate one row to every member and put down a two digit number in this column. Start with 01 and continue to the last member. If total members are more than 11, add another sheet for the 12th or more members. Keep in mind to fill the part "sheet of sheet" after, so it is explicit how many members there are in the household and therefore the number of sheets is distinguished. Also add on every sheet: geographic identifications, type and order number of the household, street address and 10-digit zip code, date of interview, first and last name.
If you made a mistake filling a row, you should delete that row's number and fix the next rows.
