Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="IL83A402 IL83A403"><span class="em">3. Question 3 - explanations: Year of birth</span><br /><br />[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 3.]<br /><br />Write the person's year of birth and not his/her age.<br /><div class="i1">A. If the age and month of birth are known, use table I -- converting number of years into date. The table is found on the back cover of the enumerator notepad. Look in the table for the person's age and determine the year of birth according to the month born in.<br />For example: if the person is aged forty-seven and was born on May, look in the table for the corresponding year of birth. You will find that the year is 1937. If born in January -- the year of birth is 1936.<br /><br />B. If only the Hebrew year and month of birth are known, use table G to convert Hebrew year into calendar year.<br /><br />If only the age or Hebrew year of birth are known, but not the month of birth, write the earlier of the two possible calendar years, according to the table. For example: if a woman is 35 and her month of birth is unknown, write year 1947 (the years appearing in the table are 1947 or 1948).</div><br /><br /><span class="em">4. Question 4 -- explanations: Month of birth</span><br /><br />[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 4.]<br /><br />It is important to know a person's month of birth, in order to determine his/her exact age. This is especially important for persons born in 1968, due to the need to check if they have turned 15, in order to decide whether to fill details for them in part B of the extended questionnaire.<br /><div class="i1">For persons born between January and May, mark answer 1.<br /><br />For persons born between June and December, mark answer 2.</div><br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 16]</span><br /><br /><div class="i1">If only the Hebrew month is known, use table H, on the back cover of the enumerator notepad, to convert Hebrew month into calendar month.<br /><br />If month of birth is unknown (either Hebrew or calendar) -- the question should not be answered. Meaning: do not circle any of the possible answers.</div><br /></svar>
