<p><svar a="all" v="CR84A400 CR84A065 CR84A066"><span class="h3">Question 1: Relationship to the head</span><br /><br />[Below the text is a form]<br /><br />This question considers the relation or tie that exists between each one of the members of the household (or non family group) with the respective head.<br /><br />The head is the person considered as such by the rest of the members of the household, who is generally the one who supports the largest part of the economic resources of the household and has the most responsibility in making of decisions there. In non family groups whose members do not have any family relationship, the head will be the person who has the most authority, who carries out the administration, the one who has lived there the longest or the oldest.<br /><br />If a person lives alone, that person is the head.<br /><br />Before enumerating the head in the first two columns (first population form) find out who is the person considered as such. You should not accept as head a person who is not a resident in the household, even if they are the economic support of it and are being enumerated with the members of this household. Also do not write down as heads, persons under 15 years of age. Once the head has been identified, the resident members will be written down in the following forms (following columns), ordering them according to the family relation that each one of them has with the head of the household.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 46]</span><br /><br />The relation order is the same that appears in question 1 of the formula, that is spouse or companion, son or daughter, son/daughter-in-law, grandchildren, parents or in-laws, other family members, domestic service and their family members, other non family members.<br /><br />In all the cases only a circle marked with an X should appear. <br /></svar>
