Interviewer instructions

- Section A: Information regarding all persons. This information is contained in columns P00 to P23. Questions in this section will apply to all persons.

25.3 Columns P10 and P11: Relationship and sex

- Check that the sex is compatible with relationship; do not assign "male" to persons shown as wives or daughters nor "female" for persons shown as sons or husbands. Take particular care to record the sex of very young children correctly. Often, you will not know whether a baby carried on its mother's back is a boy or a girl. In such cases, you must ask - do not guess. You should ensure that everybody's sex is recorded.
