C. Basic Definitions

a) Place of Permanent Residence: Enumerate on the collective form all the persons who are normally part of the household, regardless of whether they are present or absent at the time of the census. Make sure that you do not forget to note the persons who are absent (business executives who are traveling, persons who are temporarily hospitalized or visiting relatives, students living away from home). Ask for the same information for those who are absent as you do for those who are present during your visit. Foreigners who have been in Haiti for one year or who intend to stay in Haiti for at least one year are called permanent residents.

A person who has left and does not intend to return is no longer considered part of the household.

b) Household: A household is most commonly a group of persons living together who are generally, but not necessarily, related. They live in the same place and generally take their meals together. A person living alone comprises a household.

To simplify the census count, the concept of household does not require that household members share either their meals or their budget. Instead, the basic criterion is whether or not they share a housing unit. Thus, the number of units will be the same as the number of households, except if some of the units are vacant.

c) Housing Unit: Apartment. An apartment is any room or set of rooms within a larger building which serve as the place of residence for a household or a person living alone.

If a building is completely occupied by a single household or by one person living alone, the building is considered an apartment.

d)Room: A room is any space in a housing unit

pg 10

enclosed by 4 walls, excluding the bathroom (if it has a toilet) all outbuildings (maid's room, garage, storage, etc.) should be counted as rooms if they are used for habitation.

Please note: Rooms which are used only for professional or business purposes must be identified as such. They must be taken into consideration when enumerating premises used for habitation, but not in the calculation of the occupation index.

In the case where a single household occupies several houses in the same compound the houses are considered to form a single housing unit.

pg 11

D. Who to Enumerate

24. Enumerate all persons (including those who are temporarily absent) whose permanent place of residence is in the census zone which has been assigned to you. This corresponds to what is called the legal population, which includes all persons legally domiciled in the country, regardless of where they may be at the time of the census and even if they are out of the country.

'Temporarily absent' means persons who have been absent for less than one year and who intended to return, such as travelers, vacationers, students living away from home, hospitalized patients, prisoners, etc.

25. Servants: errand boys, managers, servants, maids, cooks, cleaning women, young children taken in as domestic servants, etc. who regularly sleep in their boss' house and who don't have a place of residence outside of this house should be enumerated in the households as 'servants'. This rule is also applicable to servants in hotels, boarding houses, institutions, etc.

26. Boarder in a Private Household: Anyone who is not a member of the household but who is living permanently with a household and takes his/her meals with the household in exchange for a certain amount of money should be enumerated as a 'boarder'.

27. Persons in Hotels, Boarding Houses, Institutions, etc. If there are hotels, boarding houses, institutions, etc. in your census zone, make sure you fill out the special form intended for these establishments with information provided by the directors, managers or supervisors.

28. Every person who has spent the night in one of these establishments, regardless of whether they are of Haitian nationality or a foreign nationality, must be noted on this special form. However, persons living permanently in one of these establishments

pg 12

should be enumerated as a boarder in the household of the directors.

29. Military: Soldiers of the Haitian Armed Forces, firemen, and sailors in the Haitian Marine who do not have their permanent residence in a place other than the military post where they carry out their duties should be enumerated in these posts. The officers who live in apartments in a military post should be enumerated there. These apartments are considered private residences.

30. Individuals without a permanent residence should be enumerated by special enumerators on the night of the census, with the help of the Haitian Armed Forces.

Please note: High school students who have been gone for less than one year should always be counted with their family.


pg 13

E. Persons Who Should Not Be Enumerated

31. Do not enumerate persons who fall into the following categories:

a) Foreign diplomatic and consular agents accredited in Haiti, and members of their family. These persons will eventually be enumerated through diplomatic means. However, all persons of Haitian nationality who have their permanent residence in embassies, legations, consulates, etc, should be enumerated, and generally in the houses occupied by these agents.

b) Haitian diplomats and consular agents who are living abroad, and their families and servants of the same nationality, will be enumerated by the Department of Foreign Relations.

c) Foreigners who are in Haiti as tourists or on business. However, foreigners who have been living in Haiti for more than one year, either because they are studying or working here, should be enumerated.

Very important

Ideally, the census would be carried out across the entire country within a very short time period ? a matter of several hours or one day. For technical reasons, this is not possible and it is planned that the census will extend over a period of about 15 days beyond the official date of census night.

Only those persons who are permanent residents (present or absent) on the official date of the census are to be enumerated. Thus, babies born after this date are not included, but persons who die after this date are included.

Thus if the official date of the census is the 16th of August, 1971 at midnight, then a baby born

pg 14

the 17th of August is not enumerated, even if the household where this baby lives is not enumerated until the 30th of August. On the other hand, an elderly person who dies after the 16th will be enumerated.

pg 15

Specific Instructions Related to the Questions Asked

Even before you begin the census interview, make sure that you fill in the rectangle in the upper left with your name, the date of the interview and the name of your immediate supervisor. The supervisor will also fill in the date each of the questionnaires was reviewed.

I. Location

Questions 1, 2, 3: Clearly write the name of the department [département], the district [l'arrondissement] and the municipality where your census zone is located.

Question 4: Address. If the house is in a city, give the complete address including street and number, or any other information which can help in locating the house. If it is in the country, write the names of the Rural Section, plantation/village or area where it is found.

Question 5: Large cities are subdivided into zones and districts. Write the figure corresponding to the zone number and district number in which you work.

Please note: Never forget to write the numbers of the Supervision District and the Census Zone. The latter figures are also on the notebook [croquis]] which will be given to you at the beginning of the operation.

Question 6: In a rural zone, indicate the name of the plantation/village.

pg 16

Question 7, 8: Refer to section 19 of paragraph B: "How to fill out the questionnaires."

Question 9: At the end of the interview in a building, write on the questionnaire corresponding to each of the households living in the building "number of households in the entire building." Refer to section 20 of paragraph B.

Question 10: Do not write anything on line 10. This line corresponds to the definitive household number, which will be written in the office after review and verification of all the files relating to the same census zone.

II. Dwelling

All buildings should be numbered. However, only enumerate those which are actually inhabited by a household.

Nonetheless, any establishment or portion thereof, buildings (even unfinished), etc. which are used to house the cleaning lady, the manager, the caretaker or the watchman should be considered as housing units.

The institutional population is classified separately, i.e., [those persons] living in institutions such as military barracks, hospitals, [boarding] schools [collèges] which cannot be directly connected to a head of household. Note that there may be private households living within the walls which contain institutional households, such as the household of a school [collège] or hospital director who occupies a separate housing unit in the school or hospital.

A household of one or several persons living permanently in a hotel and without another dwelling should be considered as a private household and separated from the institutional household made up of transient clients.

pg 17

A. Building Characteristics

A building may include one or many dwellings. The building characteristics are only indicated for the first dwelling. Thus if a building is comprised of 4 dwellings, fill in the 'principal building material of walls' and 'principal building material of roofs' headings for dwelling number 1 only; i.e. the household whose visitation order in the building is 01.

pg 25

III. Population

A) Questions 1-10: Personal Characteristics

Read all the explanations on the back of the questionnaire carefully, especially those in the column headings. Refer to the Instruction Manual for Interviewers whenever necessary.

Column 1-First Name and Family Name: Carefully print the first names and last name of the people living in the household. Whenever possible, observe the following order:

The head of household; his wife or domestic partner; unmarried children (beginning with the oldest), including adopted children; parents and grandparents; brothers, sister, uncles, aunts, nieces, cousins; grandchildren whose parents don't live in the household; married children (each followed by their spouse and children); other friends; boarders; live-in servants.

Please note: The head of household is the person who is recognized as such by the other members of the household.

Column 2- Family Relationship to the Head of Household: The first line must correspond with the head of household. Beginning with the 2nd line, there are 5 possible choices. Check off the box corresponding to the response given.

Please note: Make sure you fill in only one box per person.

Column 3- Marital Status: Write an 'x' in the appropriate box according to the response given.

a) Single. A single person is anyone who has never been married and who does not live with a domestic partner.

b) Married. Include in this category anyone who is still bound by legal ties

pg 26

(religious or civil).

c) Living in a Long-term Unmarried Relationship [placé]. Placé means any person living in a domestic partnership or declaring themselves to be in a domestic partnership.

Even if the person has been married, he or she must be considered as living in a domestic partnership [placé] if he/she has left his/her legal partner to cohabit with an unmarried partner. The goal of this question is to find out the true marital status of the individual at the time of the census. Make sure that the husband lives in the same dwelling as the domestic partner [concubine] before writing that he is living in a long-term unmarried relationship [placé].

d) Widow(er): Put any person whose spouse is deceased in this category.

e) Divorced: Consider any person whose marriage has been legally dissolved and who is not cohabiting with an unmarried partner as divorced. Any person in the process of getting a divorce or whose divorce has not yet been granted should still be considered 'married', even if he/she is legally separated by a legal judgment.

Column 4: The sex (male or female) of every person should be indicated on the questionnaire by an 'x' in the appropriate box. A male person, for example, would be:

pg 27

Column 5- Age: The age should be indicated in completed years, i.e., the age of the individual at his/her last birthday. Write the age of each person enumerated in integers, for example: 15, 21, 35, 85, years. However, for newborns or babies of less than one year old write '0' and the number of months since the birth of the baby.

If the person in question doesn't know his/her exact age, use the historical calendar. Estimate the person's age first by asking the following question: 'Who was the president of Haiti when you were born?' and then narrow in on the age using specific historical events known to the individual (see appendix I), or else by comparing him/her with a family member whose age you know for certain.

Please note: The head of household often forgets to declare young children without prompting. When you write down the youngest child declared by the head of household, be persistent [in finding out if it is the youngest child] by asking the following type of questions:


pg 28

In the same way, you should systematically ask:

Column 6- Place of Birth: If the person in question was born in Haiti, write the name of the municipality in capital letters and write an 'x' in the town or rural section, depending on whether the individual was born in one of these geographical subdivisions. For example:

If the person in question was not born in Haiti write the name of the foreign country in capital letters.

Column 7- Length of Residence in this Municipality: The length of residence is the period each person has resided in the municipality which is his/her place of permanent residence, ending at the time of the census and expressed in completed years. Mark an 'x' in the number range corresponding to the number of years of residence in the municipality. If the person is enumerated in the municipality where he or she was born, mark an 'x' in the last square on the bottom right.

Column 8- Previous area of Residence: The previous residence is the place where an individual had his permanent residence (for a period of at least 6 months) before settling in the place where he/she is enumerated and where it is supposed he/she currently resides. Indicate here in capital letters the last place where the person in question resided before coming to the place where he or she is enumerated.

Please note: Proceed as in column 6- Place of Birth.

Column 9- Nationality: There are 2 possible answers to this question. Write an 'x' for the nationality in one of the corresponding boxes. It is understood that nationality includes all Haitians born in the country and abroad, as well as naturalized Haitians.

B) Question 11: Fertility

[Question 11 is asked to women 15 to 49 years old]

Column 11- Children Born Alive in the Last 12 Months: Only ask women aged 15 to 49 inclusive this question. Associated with 'live birth' are vital signs such as breathing, heartbeat of the child after complete expulsion or extraction [of the baby] from the mother's body. Because of the delicate nature of this question, it is preferable to ask the person in question rather than the head of household (whenever this is possible). It is recommended that you be very tactful.

If the woman has not had children in the 12 months prior to the census, mark the box corresponding to '0'

If the woman has had any children, write in the column corresponding to the sex of the children how many children she has.

pg 31

[Example on top of page 31 is omitted].

Please note: Even if the child is already deceased at the time of the Census, he/she should be declared at the time of the Census. In this case, the death will also be recorded in the box at the lower right of question 22 of the questionnaire: Deaths.

Indicate if the education is complete by marking an 'x' in the box corresponding to 'C', or incomplete by marking an 'x' in the box marked 'I'.

Then check off the highest class completed in the type of education indicated.

[page 33]

[Example on top of page 33 is omitted.]

Please note: Before indicating the number corresponding to the class, refer to the correspondence table in Appendix II in this instruction manual.

Column 14- School Attended This Year: This question is for those who are regularly taking classes at an educational institution. There are 3 possible answers to this question. Write an 'x' in the box that corresponds to the answer you receive.

Please note: This is the school attended during the 1970-1971 school year.

D) Questions 15-21: Working Population

[Questions 15 to 21 are asked to persons 5 years old and over]

Important: Questions 15-21 should only be asked of people 5 and older.

Column 15- Main activity during the Last 6 Months: This is understood to be the employment at which the person in question spent most of his/her time. The purpose of this answer is to gather information

pg 34

about what people aged 5 and older did during the 6 months prior to the census. There are 6 possibilities. Mark an 'x' in the box corresponding to the answer you receive:

Persons who were not looking for a job after an illness or temporary or indefinite layoff without salary during this six month period are also included in this group, as are those who are about to begin a new job during the period of reference.

3. A Housewife is a wife, domestic partner or

pg 35

any other woman of the household who does not engage in any paid work in or outside of the house and who is not looking for work. In general the housewife dedicates herself to work inside. She takes care of the upkeep of the house, her spouse or domestic partner, and her children.

Important ? If the woman engages in paid work in or outside of the house, she should be considered as working.

4. Student: A student is anyone aged 5 or older in primary or secondary school, in higher education, university or professional school who does not work and is not looking for work.. If a student is both student and worker, for example an office worker who spends more time working than studying, then he/she should be recorded as a worker.

5. Retired (and receiving a pension/private income): This is for people of both sexes who are not engaged in any work and who receive revenue from goods/property or other investments, payments or pension benefits/annuities from previous employment. If a retired person works full time in a different profession, such as a government employee who now runs a business, for example, he/she should be recorded as a worker and not as 'retired'.

6. Other: Put all people who cannot be considered as 'workers', 'unemployed', 'student', or 'retired' in this category. In a certain sense [this is] anyone older than 5 who does not work, is not looking for work, and who is supported by his/her parents.

pg 36

Column 16- Time Spent Working in the Last Six Months: The purpose of this question is to identify all those individuals, 'working regularly or not' by asking them to declare how much time they devoted to any paid employment.

Ask the question systematically as a way of verifying all those people, even those who have not declared work as their principal activity. In particular it should allow part-time workers to be identified and to eliminate certain persons who have wrongly declared themselves to be 'workers'.

There are 4 options; mark the one corresponding to the answer you receive with an 'x'. Do not under any circumstances attempt to suggest any response whatsoever to the person being questioned.

1. Not at all for people who have not worked at all in the last 6 months.

2. Less than one month if the person has only worked for a period of less than one month, but has worked a total of at least one week (40 hours).

In this group you may find individuals who, even without a steady job, do work from time to time in some moneymaking activity.

3. From 1 to 3 months for persons not classified previously as "workers" but who were employed part-time only.

4. More than 3 months for persons working full time or employed for a period of 3 months during the period under consideration.

Please note: The person may not give an answer directly in months, but instead in days, in weeks, or in weeks per month].
