Information of the people</span><br />169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.<br /><br />When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.<br /><br />In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."<br /></svar></p>

General characteristics of all people</span><br />The questions included in this chapter are for knowing the distribution of the population by sex, age and civil state; their territorial distribution and movements made within the country in the last 5 years.<br /><br />You should ask the questions in this chapter to all people who are to be enumerated in the home.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar v="UY75A403">To mark the sex, do not be guided by the name of the person: always ask the question as it is in the Census document. In the previous example, the names of Nery and René can be vaguely used to determine a man or a woman, which makes it indispensable to ask the question.<br /></svar>
