Section 4: Basic Concepts to carry out the Census
Once you are located on ground, your task will consist of enumerating all of the private dwellings, households, and persons that are found in the route of your segment.
In the census we should have common definitions since some words that we use everyday take on special meanings. Those who participate in Census 2010 should speak "the same language".
4.1 What is a dwelling?
One of the objectives of the Census 2010 is to count all of the dwelling that there are in the national territory. Remember that this is also a census of dwellings.
It should be a place that is separated and independent: surrounded by walls or another element of separation, covered by a roof (to be able to sleep, feed oneself, and protect oneself from the environment); and have an independent entrance so that its occupants can enter and leave without passing through the interior of other dwellings.
For the Census, dwellings are the spaces that have been built or adapted to be inhabited and are also the spaces that not originally designated to house persons but that on the day of the Census are used for this purpose (for example, a business space or a warehouse where a person spent the night of reference).
The private dwellings that should be enumerated are of different types:
These types of dwellings should be enumerated even if they are uninhabited or not used as a place of habitation (for example, an apartment that is used as a medical office, an apartment used as an accounting office, a house that is used as the offices of a foundation or a barber shop, etc.).
[22]
Room in a hotel or family pension
Space not built for habitation. For example: a business space, a garage, a public building, etc.
Mobile dwelling. For example: a camping tent, a tarp, a boat, ship, truck, etc.
Each room is a dwelling. If a household occupies more than one room in a boarding house, you should consider this set of rooms as forming one single dwelling.
In this category you will register the persons who use a public space on the public routes (street, railway station, subway station, doorway of a building, plaza, etc.) as a place of habitation and/or he/she stayed there overnight on the night of reference of the Census 2010.
In the category of Special Cases we will analyze how to proceed to enumerate the persons who live in the street.
We will analyze in which cases you should always complete Form C1B and a questionnaire, and in which cases you will not have to do so.
[23]
When they are inhabited or uninhabited in the reference moments of the Census and for whatever purpose they are being used. For example, a house that is for sale, an apartment that is used as a lawyer's office, etc.
Persons or groups of persons who live on the street
You should investigate all of the places in which one or more persons could have spent the night, with the intention of enumerating them.
Nor should you enumerate the collective dwellings that are excluded from your Segment.
If you have any doubt about whether you should enumerate a dwelling or not, enumerate it.
[24]
In a private dwelling you should identify and enumerate all of the households that spent the night there on the night from October 26th to 27th of 2010.
Household =
- To be considered as one household, both of these conditions should be met simultaneously.
In the majority of dwellings, you will find only one household. But in some dwellings, two or more households can reside.
We will see some examples:
[25]
Private dwelling with two households:
The married couple Daniel and Natalie (sister of Santiago) and their daughter Sara have shared food expenses, since Daniel pays for the food.
We will see later how to proceed when there is more than one household in the dwelling.
4.3 What is Population for the Census 2010?
Population: These are all of the persons who spent the night from the 26th to the 27th of October in each dwelling, or who did not spend the night but are present at the moment of your visit and were not enumerated in another place. Also, persons who live in the street.
In Section 8, we will analyze some particular situation with more details to correctly determine which persons should be enumerated in the dwelling.
Who is the Head of Household (male or female)?
For the Census, an enumerated household should always have only one Head of Household.
Summarizing:
-There you will find a set of domiciles.
-In each domicile you should enumerate all of the private dwellings that exist.
-In each of these dwelling, when they are inhabited, you will find one or more household that should be enumerated.
-Finally, you should enumerate all of the persons who spent the night the night of the 26th to 27th of October in the dwelling.
[Text omitted, pg 26-39]
Section 8: Instructions for Completing Questionnaire B
Omitting the completion of one Questionnaire when it corresponds to do so can lead to counting a lower quantity of dwellings, households, and persons.
-If it deals with one household formed by more than six persons, you should complete more than one questionnaire to enumerate all of the members of the household. Later we will see how to proceed in the section Special Cases.
-And if there is no household in the dwelling? If it is one of the dwellings the must always be enumerated, you will also complete a census questionnaire.
We begin with:
8.1 Geographic Location
This part is of fundamental importance since the data of dwelling, household, and persons that you have enumerated are assigned to a determined geographic space. If it is not completed correctly, the information gets lost.
Street Code:
How to complete this: Transcribing the data that are shown on the Segment Drawing.
How to complete this: By observation. If the dwelling did not have a number or if it were not on a street or road, you will describe any fixed reference. Any person should be able to find this dwelling through your references. For example, a bridge, railroad lines, etc.
How to complete: You will copy the order number consigned on the Form C1B (column b), even when you cannot make contact with the inhabitants on your first visit.
How to complete this: Transcribing the data that is included in the Segment Drawing.
How to complete this: Transcribing the data that is included in the Segment Drawing.
Important! The Dwelling Number serves to link the Form C1B with the Questionnaires. You should pay attention when copying this number on the Questionnaire(s) that you use to enumerate the dwelling.
Attention! To note the number and letters, you will use the criteria that is indicated in Section 11.
8.2 Dwelling
Question 1. Type of Private Dwelling
1. Type of Dwelling / Note through observation.
_ Ranch house
_ Small house
_ Apartment
_ Room in a boarding house
_ Room in a family house or pension
_ Mobile dwelling
_ Persons living in the street (continue with 4). In these cases, you will number the Dwelling Number box with correlative numbers, even when there are no inhabitants of a dwelling.
Mark with an "X" one and only one answer option. This case corresponds only to Questions 1 and 2 of Dwelling.
Question 2. The dwelling is?
2. The dwelling is...
_ with all of the persons temporarily absent
_under construction
_for use in business, office, or medical office
_used for vacations, weekends, or other temporary use
_for another reason
[all answers except 'with persons present']--end of interview
Inhabited with persons temporarily absent: In this case, you should:
You should return twice in different schedules. Remember: only mark this option when you complete the census operation if you could not contact any of the inhabitants. You will end the information for this dwelling here.
[41]
Special case: If the person interviewed lives alone and informs you that he/she has already been enumerated in another place, do not forget to open a Questionnaire to enumerate the dwelling. In Question 2, mark the option "Inhabited with all persons temporarily absent".
Guide for detecting Households
The questions on this guide permit you to detect how many households there are in the dwelling. Once you have completed the Geographic Location and questions 1 and 2:
[Figure omitted]
You will complete a questionnaire for each household identified. When there are two or more households in the dwelling, we will see how to proceed in the Section "Special Cases".
Question 3. Number of households in the dwelling and Household number
Household number _
Note the quantity of households, completing it with "0" to the left.
Write the number of household at which you are conducting the interview.
If the enumerated dwelling is found uninhabited or its inhabitants are temporarily absent, you will note "00" for both items.
[42]
8.3 List of persons who spent the night here from Tuesday to Wednesday
Question 4. Who are the persons from this household who spent the night from Tuesday to Wednesday here, including the babies, small children, and elderly persons?
This question has the purpose of assuring the principal objective of the Census: count all and each of the persons who inhabit the country on the day of the Census 2010.
List of persons who spent the night here from Tuesday to Wednesday.
-Continue filling in the list in the following order: spouse or partner, son/daughter / stepson/daughter, son/daughter-in-law, grandchild, father/mother, father/mother-in-law, other relative, other non-relatives, domestic servants and their relatives.
- Refer as much to the family relationships (consanguineous or not) as to the relationships of friendships, work, or other types.
If in this household there are more than six persons:
-Note the same number of household in Household Number (question 3).
-Continue with question --4 and continue the interview, leaving the first line blank.
-You should ask the question just as it is written with the intention of finding out who are the persons who spent the night of reference in the dwelling where you are enumerating, or who are present and will not be enumerated in another place.
-In Person Number, you will number each person correlatively, beginning with the Head of Household (male or female).
-You will register only the given name and the relationship or family relationship with the head of household. List them respecting the Order that is shown in the grey instructions. Noting them and ordering them will facilitate the administration of the questions about Population.
-Take into account that:
-If a couple declares that they share the function of head of household, you should ask them to name one person of reference, with the exclusive intention of establishing relationships of affinity.
The following box indicates some situation that you should take into account in completing the List:
[43]
Which persons should be noted in the "List of Persons" (Question 4) and enumerated in the dwelling?
Enumerate all of the persons who?
-Did not spend the night from Tuesday to Wednesday but form part of the household and will not be enumerated in another place. For example, because during this night they were working, traveling for various reasons, in recreational reunions, because he/she lives alone in another place and will not return to his/her household, etc.
- They were born before the zero hour of Wednesday, October 27th, 2010 and are present.
- They died after the zero hour of Wednesday, October 27th, 2010.
- They were born after the zero hour of Wednesday, October 27th, 2010, even if they are present.
- They died before the zero hour of Wednesday, October 27th, 2010.
Given that you can note up to six persons on the List, in the Section Special Cases we will explain how to proceed if in the household you need to enumerate more than six persons.
[Text omitted, Activity 6 pg 44-45]
8.4 Habitation Characteristics of the Household
We will see some considerations for completing the questions that make up this part of the questionnaire (questions 5 to 19).
5. What is the predominate material of the floors...
_ Cement or attached bricks?
_ Dirt or loose brick?
_ Other?
Every time that we speak of Predominant Material you should understand it to be the material that is found in the greatest proportion of the floors, exterior walls and exterior covering of the roof of the dwelling. If there are two types of materials in the same proportion, you should register the one that is of the better quality.
Remember that you should only mark one option.
Question 15: How many bedrooms or rooms for sleeping are in this household?
15. How many bedrooms or rooms for sleeping are in this household?
For bedrooms or rooms for sleeping we understand that this means all rooms or spaces enclosed with walls or dividers, that have a sufficient floor space to hold a bed for an adult and that is found in conditions to be used for sleeping in the case that it be necessary.
Let's see some examples:
- the dwelling where Pablo lives has one single room where he sleeps and also cooks. In this case, you will count one bedroom or room for sleeping.
[46]
If in the dwelling there is more than one household, you should only consider the rooms that the persons of the household being interviewed uses for sleeping, even when these rooms are spaces shared with persons of the other household.
Question 16. In total, how many rooms does this household have? (without counting bathroom(s) and kitchen(s))
You should count the total number of bedrooms or rooms:
- the mezzanines built in some dwellings, despite not having some of the walls that are indicated in the definition.
Excluded are:
-Rooms that are used exclusively for cooking,
-Laundry areas, garages, shed, halls and entryways, unless they are used as a place for a person to sleep,
-Patios without a roof.
Question 19. Does this household have?
A cellular telephone?
_ No
This question should have one mark for "Yes" or for "No" in each of the options for answers.
8.5 Population
-You will continue enumerating the rest of the members of the household, in the order in which you noted them in Question 4.
-When you complete the interview with this household, you should have as many complete blocks of Population as the number of persons you have noted in the List of Persons. Verify this before leaving the dwelling.
Let's see the instructions for completing some of the questions of this block.
Person number and Name of person
You should fill in these boxes to identify which person you are enumerating.
Copy the order number and given name that you noted in the List of Persons.
Question 1. What is your relationship to the head of household (male or female)?
Question 3. How old is this person (in years)?
3. How old is this person (in years)?
Register the age of the enumerated person in years, which means, the number of years completed on the day of the interview and not the age that the person will soon complete.
Question 5. In which country was he/she born?
Take into account that:
-If the person being enumerated is a foreigner, you will continue with question 6 to write the name of the person's country of origin.
Pay attention to the reminders that indicate the age limits when you are asking the questions.
Observe the reminder:
Starting here, all of the persons three years old and older answer the questions.
[48]
The questions 7 to 12 refer to the education of the persons.
Question 8. Does or did he/she attend an educational establishment?
School attendance is the current or previous concurrence (attends or attended) to a recognized establishment in the formal educational system, of the public or private sector, in the country or in a foreign country.
8. Does or did he/she attend an educational establishment?
_ Attended
_ Never attended (continue with 12)
Attends. Mark this option if he/she concurs in the present.
Attended. Mark this option if he/she attended any time in the past.
Excluded from concurrence are: private academies and institutions that to not belong to the formal education system.
For example: courses for foreign languages, literacy courses, courses for musical instruments, for updating teaching credentials, technical courses given in institutions dedicated to teaching hairdressing, electricity, brief computing courses, etc.
Question 9. . What educational level does/did he/she attend?
9. What educational level does/did he/she attend?
_ Elementary
_ EGB
_ Secondary -- Attended: _ 6-year elementary/ _ 7-year elementary?
_ Polimodal (Secondary)
_ Higher education, non-university
_ University
_ Post-graduate
_ Special education (for persons with disabilities) -- Continue with 12
This refers to the level of education that he/she attended or is currently attending.
If the person being interviewed attends or attended the level "Secondary", mark this with an "X" and then ask if the elementary that he/she attended was for six or seven years, since in our country these two possibilities co-exist.
Question 11. What is the highest grade or year that he/she passed in this level?
11. What is the highest grade or year that he/she passed in this level?
_ None
_ Does not know
Complete this with the number of grade or year that he/she passed. Do not add "th" since this is already printed.
In the case of Primary and Secondary Education for adults, the duration of these levels is generally three years. For those who are attending the elementary school for adults, consider the equivalency with the grade or year and not the cycle. For this, use to following table:
[49]
Type of studies: Elementary School or Center for Adults
Cycle 2 -- Mark 5
Cycle 3 -- Mark 7
For those who are attending the secondary school for adults, you should use this conversion table:
Type of studies: Secondary School or Center for Adults
Cycle 2 -- Mark 4
Cycle 3 -- Mark 5
If the highest level of education that the person being enumerated passed was elementary school and this was done before 1966, take into account the changes produced in the numbering of the grades starting in this year, where first year of secondary was eliminated and seventh was added.
Grade up to 1966 / Equivalent grade of the Non-reformed System
Upper 1st grade / 2
2nd grade / 3
3rd grade / 4
4th grade / 5
5th grade / 6
6th grade / 7

Appendix II: Conceptual Glossary
A. Definitions of the Basic Questionnaire
I. Definitions of Dwelling
Dwelling: A space where persons live. This is found separated by walls or other elements, covered by a roof, and its occupants can enter or leave without passing through the interior of other dwellings. The dwellings can have been built or adapted to be inhabited or can just be used for this purpose on the night of reference for the Census.
Based on the regiment of habitation of the persons that occupy them, the dwellings can be classified as:
Private dwelling: Dwelling designated for housing persons who live under a family regiment. Constituting private dwellings are: houses, ranch houses, shacks, apartments, rooms in a boarding house, rooms in a family hotel or pension, mobile dwellings, dwellings in places of works, commercial sites not built for habitation. The mobile dwelling and commercial sites not built for habitation are considered private dwellings only if there were persons who spent the night there in the night of reference for the Census.
Collective dwelling: Dwelling designated for housing persons who live under an institutional (not family) regiment, regulated by common norms for administrative convenience, military, religious, health, reclusion, work, education, etc. The habitually occupy buildings constructed or adapted for this purpose. These constitute types of collective dwellings: barracks, religious housing (including convent and seminaries), hospitals, centers for the elderly (including geriatric care), prisons (including commissaries) camps/labor camps, student, university or boarding school residences, housing for minors, tourist hotels.
Type of private dwelling:

Generally, the building has bathrooms and/or kitchens that are shared; this does not exclude that some of the rooms have their own bathrooms and/or kitchens.
Each room in the boarding house in which there were persons who spent the night of reference for the Census, in considered a dwelling.
- Room in a family hotel or pension: room located in a family hotel or pensions, this is a building that contains various rooms that have exits to one or more spaces for common use with the intention of housing, in permanent manner, persons in the condition of guests or pensioners. It is characterized by a) payment for housing made daily, weekly, bi-weekly and/or monthly and, b) the authorization under the legislation established for this type of business is exhibited in visible places of the said establishment or in the registry books of the establishment.
Each room or the family hotel or pension in which there were persons who spent the night of reference of the Census is considered to be a dwelling.
- Commerial space not built for habitation: a dwelling that has not been built or adapted to be inhabited by persons but in which there were persons who spent the night there on the night of reference of the Census.
- Mobile dwelling: This is a structure that is used as a dwelling, built to be transported (camping tent, tarp, or tent) or that is made of a mobile unit (ship, boat, railway car, mobile home, truck, wagon, etc.). It will be considered a private dwelling only if there were persons who spent the night there on the night of reference of the Census.

The dwelling is...
Inhabited
Inhabited with persons present: a dwelling originally built to be inhabited by persons or adapted for this purpose in which at least one of the inhabitants is present on the night of reference of the Census and at the moment of the interview of the enumerator.

II. Definitions of Habitation Characteristics of the household
Construction materials of the floors, walls, and roofs of the dwelling
Predominant material: element used in the construction of the floors, exterior walls and exterior coverings of the roof of the dwelling. The reference to "predominant" corresponds to the material that is found in the greatest proportion; if there are two types of materials with the same proportion, you will consider the one of the better quality.
Floors: surface with a solid base on which the structure of the dwelling is seated (for example: cement, ceramic, wood, etc.).

Sex: condition of "male" or "female" for the person being enumerated.
Age: years completed on the date of reference of the same census.
Date of birth: day, month and year of birth.
Place of birth: place where the person being enumerated was born (the province in the case of those born in Argentina and the country in the case of foreigners).
Education
Knows how to read and write: ability to read, write and understand a simple phrase about daily life in any language. This requires the knowledge to do both.
The definitions that are present below refer to the formal education of all of the persons. This means, the education whose structure and contents are organized sequentially in four level of education: Initial, General Basic Education or Elementary, Poli-modal or Secondary, and Higher (non university or post university). This excludes the attendance at: academies, private institutions that do not belong to the formal systems, and therefore do not accredit for continuation or to begin studies in formal education. For example: courses in foreign languages, information and computers, literacy courses, musical instruments and theater, for teacher courses to stay up-to-date, labor training, technical courses, and courses for hair dressing, dress making, mechanics, electricity, etc.
Attendance at an educational establishment: present or past attendance at an establishment that is recognized by the formal educational system.
Current and past educational level: this is the educational stage that the person being enumerated is attending or attended.
Various educational structures coexist in the country, two of them have levels with the same names. These are the structures before the Federal Education Law and the one that results from the new National Education Law (2006). This last consists of two levels: Kindergarten and Pre-School/Initial, Elementary, Secondary, Terciary non-university and University and Post-Graduate (specialization, master's or doctorate).
