Interviewer instructions

<svar a="all" v="EC01A403">Question 3.- How old are you in completed years? [There is a picture of question 3 from this section of the enumeration form.] Ask this question and wait for an answer. Don't record the number of years the person is going to complete, even if [their birthday is] just one day off. Record the number of completed years on the day of the census. It's possible that older people might not remember their exact age. Then, the enumerator will try to figure out their age by their identity card or birth certificate. If this is not possible, try to help them to calculate their age, mentioning historic dates, their age at marriage, age when they had their first child, etc. As much as possible, avoid vague statements such as: around .... years. This question should always contain information. Another inconvenience that you may find in some people is the tendency to state approximate ages, which leads to declaring so-called attractive ages, which generally end in 0 or 5. Insist that the information be precise. For those under 1 year or age, record 00. </svar>
