Interviewer instructions
C. Population


Census home is a person or group of persons, related or not, who occupy the same dwelling. You will write down first the name and surname of the head of the household, then ask all the corresponding questions.



1. What is the relationship or relation with the head of the home?
Each private dwelling should necessarily have a head, who is the person recognized as such by the rest of the members of the household.

In the case of a group of non related persons someone should be recognized as head by the rest of the group. In the case of absence, the head of the household will not be enumerated in this household, another member should occupy their place (spouse, oldest child, sibling, etc.). The relationship of the rest of the members will be established with respect to the substitute.

[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form.]

The spouse of the head will be enumerated second whether they are legally married or not.

In "other family member" register siblings, aunt/uncles, niece/nephews, cousins, brother/sister-in-laws of the head of the household.

Persons employed in domestic service will be enumerated as members of the census home when they coexist and sleep in the dwelling.

In "other non family member," consider other persons who coexist in the home for example pensioners, guests, etc.

[p. 9]

In collective households this question should not be asked. The enumerator will determine the order for enumerating, beginning with the one at the top of the hierarchy, but will not fill out any cell for question No. 1.
