A. Geographic location
[p.2]
1. In this section you should note the location of the dwelling that you enumerate in the national territory and in the census organization.
[One example is not presented here.]
[p.3]
2. When you identify the location of a dwelling you should do so thinking of facilitating locating it again later.
When the dwelling does not have a number, or it is not located by a street or a road, you should identify it using some fixed point as a reference.
[One example is not presented here.]
[p.4]
3. Among various possible points of reference, you should select the one that has the fewest possibilities of disappearing in the future.

To do this correctly, you should first know:
b) What is a dwelling
c) How the relationship dwelling-households is formed
The following will serve to clarify these concepts.
[p.10]
1. A census household is considered to be the person or set of persons [related or not related] who live under the same roof and habitually share their meals.
For a group of persons who live under the same roof to form a census household they should habitually share their [meals].
[p.11]
Panel 1
The census households can be private or collective.
They cook and eat together.
Collective census household is the group of persons that share the same dwelling, under a regiment that is not a family regiment, for reasons that are military, work, health, discipline, religious, punishment, etc.
[p.12]
2.
-- A family (father, mother, children),
-- An extended family [parents, grandparents, children, uncles, etc],
-- A group formed by a family and a friend,
-- Three students who rent an apartment, or
-- A person who lives alone
who live under the same roof, cook and eat together, each one forms a [private] census household (consult panel 1).
[p.13]
3. A boarding school, a military barrack, a hospital, a jail, a boarding house, a hotel, constitute [collective] census households.
Also considered as boarding houses, or in other words, [collective] census households, are the family homes that have 6 or more boarders on the "day of the census".
[p.14]
4. Classify the following households. Mark the column P if it is a private household, and in the column C if it is a collective household. [Right answers are filled in below]

g) A couple who live and eat with their married son and his family and the mother-in-law of their son -- [P]
h) A family with five renters -- [P]
i) A family with eight renters -- [C]
[p.15]
5. A dwelling is any shelter -- non-mobile or mobile -- that has been built or adapted for housing persons.
A house, a tent, an apartment, a barracks, a mobile home, a hospital, and a farm, are [dwellings].
[p.16]
6. The dwellings can be private or collective.
Private dwelling is one that is occupied by one or various [private] census households.
A collective dwelling is one that is occupied by a [collective] census household.
[p.17]
7. The dwellings occupied by families, single persons, groups of students or employees, etc. (which constitute private households), are [private] dwellings.
The dwellings occupied by boarding houses, hotels, barracks, jails, hospitals, convents, boarding schools, etc. are [collective] dwellings.
[p.18]
8. There is a list of dwellings below.
Mark the column P if they are private dwellings and C if they are collective.
[The answers are filled in below]

-- One collective [census]
-- One collective census household and one or various [private] census households.
[p.20]
10. A private census household (person or set of persons, related or not, who are associate for the purpose of providing for food needs, habitually cook and share their [meals] ) can occupy:
--Part of a private dwelling
--Part of the site of an institution or a collective dwelling destined for use as a private dwelling (for example, the house of the gatekeeper of a school or the manager of a hotel).
[p.21]
11. A private dwelling can be occupied by one or various census [private] households.
[p.22]
12. Various private census households can occupy the same [dwelling].

[p.30]
20. The school where Mr. Pereira sends his children has a building for classrooms, a building where students and their caretakers are housed, and a small independent house to the left of the entry, where the gatekeeper and his family live.
The house of the gatekeeper is a [private] dwelling.
The building for the students is a [collective] dwelling.
The students form a [collective] census household.
[p.31]
21. Even though various census households share the same dwelling, you will use a separate form for each census household.
If you enumerate a dwelling where there are three census households, you will use [three] forms, on for [each] household.
If you enumerate a dwelling with four households, you will use [four] forms.
If an enumerator has used two separate forms for a dwelling, this means that in this dwelling there are [two] census households.
[p.32]
22. In front of a dwelling that is uninhabited you will proceed as if it were inhabited by only one census household. You will complete [one] census form with the data that you can obtain.
[One example is not presented here.]
[Pages 33-37 are not presented here.]
[p.37]
27. Now you are beginning to see the way to enumerate the dwelling-household relationship.
You now know - for the census purposes - what a dwelling and household are.
You also remember that a particular dwelling can be occupied by more than one household.
The box on in the enumeration form is the following. Observe it.
[The information below is displayed in a 4 by 11 table.]

[p.38]
28. There are five columns on the top of the box.
You will fill in the column One when you encounter one census household.
When there are two households you will write in the column headed with the number [two].
The column Four or five will be used when in the dwelling there are [Four or five] census households.
[p.39]
29.
One - Two - Three - Four or five - Rental
If next to this dwelling you enumerate a single household, you will complete the column headed with the number [one].
[p.40]
30. When in a dwelling there are two or more households, the order for completing the census is determined by the enumerator.
The [enumerator] decides the [order] in which to enumerate the households in the dwelling.
If in a dwelling there are three households, household X, household M and household T: in which order do you enumerate these household? [Any order (or an equivalent answer)].
[p.41]
31. Now let's see the second line in the Relationship Dwelling-Household box
Each box has a two-digit number underneath it.
The first digit indicates the total number of households that are in the dwelling.
In number 21, digit 2 indicates that in the dwelling there are two census households.
In number 32, digit 3 indicates that in the dwelling there are 3 census households.
[p.42]
32. The second digit of the number is the order number of the household enumerated in this form.
If in the dwelling there are three households and you are enumerating the second, you will mark the box:
[p.43]
33. Interpret the following codes:
[x]21 - This form belongs to the [one] household in a dwelling occupied by [two] households.
[x]32 - In this dwelling there are [three] households; this is the household enumerated in the [second] place.
[x]31 - In this dwelling there are [three] households; this form belongs to the household enumerated in the [first] place.
[p.44]
34. Codify the following situations:
Example: In a dwelling there are two households; the form belongs to the second census household. - [x]22
In a dwelling that is only one census household; the form belongs to this household. You will mark the box. [[x]11]
The form belongs to the household enumerated in second place, in a dwelling occupied by three households. You will mark the box [[x]32]
The form belongs to the first household in a dwelling occupied by two households. You will mark the box [[x]21]
[p.45]
35. In the column four or five, there is only one box underneath it. There is a dotted line.
The numbers should be placed according to the information that you obtain.
If in the dwelling there are five households and you are enumerating the second, you will write the number 5 and then the number 2.
If in the dwelling there are four households and you are enumerating the first, you will write:
[p.46]
Four or five: [x]55
Four or five [ ] ____
[p.47]
37. Rental is any dwelling that houses six or more census households and has communal sanitary services.
This is the special code for Rental:
The number 6 means Rental.
Sixty-nine corresponds to all of the other households that occupy the dwelling.
[p.48]
38. Remember that in the case of rental:
Sixty one is for the household enumerated first.
All of the other households you will mark 69.
[p.49]
39. Codify the following situations:
-- The household being enumerated is a dwelling occupied by only one household. [11]
-- The fourth household enumerated in a dwelling occupied by five households. [54]
-- The tenth household in a rental dwelling [69]

[p.50]
40. Now let's see the rest of the lines in the box Relationship Dwelling-household
Women _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Total _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
On these lines, you will write the number of men, women, and total number of persons who form the household, but you will make note of it after you have finished filling the census form.
You have arrived at the house of the Pereira and they have told you that there are two families living there. You then decide to enumerate the Pereira family first. So mark the box [[x]21].
What do you do next?
[x] b) continue by completing filling out the census form and at the end, write the number of persons who make up the household.
[Pages 51-57, which contain examples, are not presented here.]
[p.58]
[p.59]
1. Now we will move on to enumerate the condition of occupancy of the dwelling. The condition of the [occupation] can be (observe the item in B1 of the census form):

[p.109]
7. In all of the private households there must necessarily be a [head of household], whom you will register in the form, in the first place under the column: First person.
In the collective households you enumerate, in the first place, the person with the greatest hierarchy.

[p.110]
8. In the [private] households, after enumerating the first persons who will always be the [head] of the household, you will enumerate the rest of the members, according to the ties or relationship that they have with the head of household.

21. If the person you are enumerating does not remember his/her date of birth, you will register the age in completed years in the box on the extreme right.
The mother-in-law of Mr. Pereira does not remember the date of her birth. You will then note the age in [years completed].
[p.124]
[Two examples for question 4 are not presented here.]
[p.125]
23. Now you must move to question number 5. If the person you are enumerating was born in a location or place where he/she is completing the census, you should mark the box: Here.

[An example for question 6 is not presented here.]
[p.130]
28. One of the forms of considering habitual resident is that of identifying as such the persons who have lived in the place where they answer the census for the past six months or more.
So you will consider her as [habitual resident], and in the form you will mark:
[x] Here
____ Location or place
____ Department or area
____ Province or foreign country
29. Another of the forms of considering habitual residence is that of locating as such all persons who, despite not living in the place where they are enumerated, since six months ago or more, has decided to establish residency in this place.
You will then consider this person [habitual resident].
If the person arrived at the place where he/she is enumerated less than six months ago, you should consider him/her [habitual resident] if he/she has decided to [establish] his/her residency in the place where he/she is enumerated.
[p.132]

Now let's look at question number 9 of the item Educational Characteristics.
We understand as school attendance going to school, at the date of the census, to an official educational establishment, private or public, at the elementary, secondary, university, or other level.
They are official educational establishments, for example:
--Superior Professorship in Biological Sciences
--School number 5 of the Educational Center 7

--Post-graduate course in the Medical Faculty
The Pitman Academy, the Teniente Sewing School, the Lingaphone Institute, etc., are not official educational establishments.
[p.140]
2. If the person normally attends an official [educational] establishment, you will mark the box "Attends?" with an x.
The son of Mr. Pereira attends the National Business School number 2. Which box would you mark?
[ ] 2 Does not attend but attended?
[ ] 3 Never attended?
[ ] 4 Does not know
[p.141]
3. The person who never attended an educational establishment is considered "never attended."
[An example is not presented here.]
[p.142]
In the question number 10 you will move on to ask about the highest educational level that the person attends or attended, whether they completed it or not, either in the country or in a foreign country. Remember that the questions 10A, 10B, and 10C should only be asked of the persons who have boxes 1 or 2 marked in question number 9.
In the Panel 4 you will write the possible educational levels. Read them carefully.

[p.146]
5. If a person says that he/she works in a factory and that after the work schedule he/she takes workers' training courses, would you take this answer into account?
If another person says that she graduated from the National Industrial School and is taking a specialization course, where would you place this answer? (Consult Panel 4.)
[p.147]
6. Below you will ask question 10B, regarding whether the person being enumerated completed this level or not.
This question refers to the level of [instruction] indicated by the person in question 10A.
[An example is not presented here.]
[p.148]
7. Next you will ask question 10C, to find out which is the highest year or grade that the person passed at this level.
This question will be answered by all persons, five years old or more, who have or have not completed the level of instruction that they attended.
[An example is not presented here.]
[p.149]
8. You should mark the box zero [0] for those persons who entered a determined level of instruction, but did not pass the first year or grade of that level.
[An example is not presented here.]
[p.150]

[p.151]
[An example is not presented here.]
[p.152]
If a person declares having passed the third grade in an elementary school having studied, according to the educational plans in effect at the time, the lower first grade, in the last year or grade passed, you will mark box 4 because:
-- First upper grade from the previous plan is equivalent to second grade now
-- Second grade from the previous plan is equivalent to third grade now
-- Third grade from the previous plan is equivalent to fourth grade now
-- Fourth grade from the previous plan is equivalent to fifth grade now
-- Fifth grade from the previous plan is equivalent to sixth grade now

[]1
[]2
[]3
[]4
[x]5
[]6
[]7
[]8
[]9- Don't know
[p.154]
12. If in the second situation from the previous box you do not mark 5, the answer is wrong, because this person got to fifth grade which is the equivalent to sixth grade now, but did not pass the grade; therefore we mark 5, which is equivalent to fourth grade previously.
If another person says that he/she attended the elementary school, but does not remember which grade he/she passed, you will mark:
[]1
[]2
[]3
[]4
[]5
[]6
[]7
[]8
[x]9- Don't know
[p.155]
[An example for questions 10A, 10B, and 10C is not presented here.]

3. To complete the following box, consult the census form, question number 13.
The concept of "the majority of last week" refers to [4] normal work shifts, according to the occupation that the person practices, or if he/she worked more than [35] hours a week.
[p.163]
4. Observe that the question number 13 includes ten alternatives that are listed in a column. Once you have read question number 13, without waiting for an answer, begin reading each of the ten choices. If the person answers affirmatively to the choices 1, 2, or 3, you should mark the corresponding box and then continue with the question 14.
Miss Garcia answers "Yes" to choice 2 (Didn't work, but had employment?). You mark [x]2 and move immediately to question number [14].
[p.164]
5. When you enumerate Mr. Pereira you ask: What did you do during the majority of the week from September 21 to 26? Immediately, without waiting for an answer, begin to read the ten possible options.

[p.165]
6. If a person answering the census answers "Yes" to the alternative [1], [2] or [3], you move on to question 14, then mark the respective box.
But if person answering the census answers "Yes" to any of the alternative 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, you move directly to question number 17.

What answer then corresponds to question number 15?
[Sale of electrical goods]
[p.173]
