Interviewer instructions

P06: Age at last birthday (see remark above)

Fill in column P06 with the number of years (only) for the persons ignorant of the day and month of birth. One will write the number of years in column P06. For this person having given the month and year of birth, or only the year of birth, do not write anything in P06.

For a person who does not know the exact birth year, but who can locate the period by referring to some historical noticeable events, the census enumerator will utilize the historical calendar found in the annex of this manual to approximate the age.

If using the historical calendar does not give anything, the census enumerator will do his/her best to obtain an estimation, for instance by enquiring about the age of the parents, of the children or by comparing the information given with those provided by the immediate family circle.

Remark:
One writes the age in integer number of years, without counting the additional months. All the boxes must be filled, starting from the right side. If the number of years is lower than 100, the first box will include a "0", and in the following boxes the number of years.
