Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="IL83A405"><span class="em">6. Question 6 -- explanations: Family status</span><br /><br />[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 6.]<br /><br />Ask the person about his/her family status and accept the answer -- do not ask for any document for verification. Also, do not determine the family status according to your impression. For instance, if a couple lives in the apartment, do not register them as married without receiving this answer from them, since they might be living together without being married.<br /></svar>
