Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="VE01A400"><span class="h3">3.1 Relationship to the head of household</span><br /><br />The question referring to relationship is the base for determining the family composition of the household. Through this it will be possible to identify the Head of Household and determine his/her relationship with the other members of the household. Therefore, the hierarchical registration of the household members by the order of relation is useful for the indirect collection of data of the family nuclei. In the construction of these nuclei the relationship of paternity (descending relationship) will prevail over the relationship of filiations (ascending relationship). For example, when someone in a household forms part of two family nuclei, preference is given to his/her family group of procreation and not his/her group of origin.<br /><br />The following relationships are included:<br /><div class="i1">-- <span class="em">Head of household</span>: Household member, man or woman, that the others in the household consider to be the head for reasons of authority, relationship, age, respect, or for economic dependence, or any other reason considered by the household members.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Spouse or partner</span>: The person united to the Head of Household through marriage or consensual union.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Child, step-child</span>: Direct descendent, in the first degree, of the Head of Household and or his/her spouse. Stepchildren, children, adopted children, and children being raised by the head who are not biological children are all included.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Grandchild</span>: Direct descendent, in the second degree, of the Head of Household.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Son/Daughter-in-law</span>: Spouse or partner of the child of the Head of Household.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Parent, father/mother-in-law</span>: Progenitor of the Head of Household, spouse or partner. Step-fathers and step-mothers are included in this category.</div><br /><span class="pg">[p. 37]</span><br /><div class="i1">-- <span class="em">Sibling, brother/sister-in-law</span>: Person born of the same father and/or mother of the Head of Household or his/her spouse or partner. Step-brothers/sisters, i.e. the child of the step-father or step-mother of the Head of Household, are included in this category.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Niece, nephew</span>: Child of the sibling of the Head of Household or of his/her spouse or partner.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Other relative</span>: Relative of the Head of Household or his/her spouse or partner not included in any of the above categories.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Not related</span>: Household member that is not related to the Head of Household or his/her spouse or partner.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Domestic employee</span>: Household member who carries out domestic duties, remunerated in money and/or maintenance, paid by the Head of Household or his/her spouse or partner. Is only counted when he/she sleeps in the dwelling.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Relative of domestic employee</span>: Household member who resides in the enumerated dwelling because of his/her relationship to a domestic employee. Is only counted when he/she sleeps in the dwelling.<br /><br />-- <span class="em">Person in collective dwelling</span>: The category assigned to the person residing in a institutional or other type of collective. This is not a family relationship, per se, but it is included in order to identify those who claim to be usual residents of a collective dwelling in question 1 in Section II, "Dwelling information".</div><br /></svar>
