Enumerator's Instructions Manual

[Pages 2 - 23 were not translated into English.]

[p. 24]

What is a household?

There is usually no difficulty in identifying a household and understanding the concept when used in the sense of a home or house, which is the case of the 2000 Census.

Most people live in an apartment or a house. However, a household can be found in a place not apparently intended to serve as housing, such as a room in an exclusively commercial building or in an area behind a store, factory, etc.

There are also cases where, with time, a building undergoes changes in its original purpose, such as one that has been converted into the offices of a real-estate company.

Therefore, the identification of a household will depend on the correct application of its concept.

A household is a structurally separate and independent place that is intended to serve as housing for one or more persons or which is being used as such.

The essential criteria of this definition are separation and independence:

[p. 52]

2.03 - Class (Espécie) (Column 3)

Record the unit visited according to [one of the] corresponding codes:

1 - Occupied Private Household
2 - Closed Private Household
3 - Occasionally Used Private Household
4 - Unoccupied Private Household/Dwelling
5 - Collective Dwelling
6 - Non-residential

To correctly record the class (espécie) of household/dwelling, one must learn certain concepts about the units that will be enumerated.

What is a Private Household?

It is housing where the relationship is determined by ties of kinship, domestic dependence or simply by norms and regulations of proper conduct.

Private households are classified into:

  • Permanent Private; and
  • Improvised Private.

[p. 53]

What is a Permanent Private Household?

It is a household/dwelling that was built to serve solely for housing and, on the date of reference, was serving as housing to one or more persons.

Apartment buildings, apartments in apartment-hotels, and rooms in a tenement (cabeças-de-porco, inner-city type slums, etc.) comprise groups of Permanent Private Households.

Houses occupied by the room and inner-city type slums are characterized as single constructions or buildings whose internal structures have been adapted to accommodate one family group in each room with an entrance that is independent from the others. They are also characterized by almost always having a bathroom and/or toilet for collective use.

Ranches, country estates, mills, etc. also comprise groups of Permanent Private Households.

The following institutional establishments also comprise Permanent Private Households: hospitals, leprosariums, asylums, monasteries, military bases, schools, prisons and similar places, and those located in independent buildings that, on the date of reference:

  • were occupied by families, one or more of whose members were either employees or owners of the establishment;
  • were occupied by families, one or more of whose members were or were not part of the institution, such as in leprosariums, correctional facilities, etc.; and
  • were occupied by families, one or more of whose members were or were not part of military establishments or zones.

What is an Improvised Private Household?

It is a household located in a non-residential unit (store, factory, etc.) whose premises do not have areas reserved exclusively for housing but which, on the date of reference, were occupied by residents.

Households that were serving as housing on the date of reference, such as the following, are also considered Improvised Private Households, such as:

a) buildings under construction;
b) train cars, farm wagons, etc.;
c) tents, trailers, caves, etc.; and
d) those located under bridges, overpasses, etc.
[p. 54]

When the residents in an Improvised Private Household are absent according to situations a, b, c, and d, these households/dwellings should not be registered on the Permanent Dwelling List Form. The Enumerator should return to this household/dwelling during the period of collection as often as necessary to obtain an interview. If the Enumerator is successful in carrying out an interview, he or she should open a new page of the Permanent Dwelling List Form for this record and apply the questionnaire, leaving the numbering on the page of the Permanent Dwelling List Form and the number of the questionnaire for the end of the collection in the sector.


[Remaining text on page 54 was not translated into English.]

[p. 55]

When should a dwelling be recorded as Collective? (Code 5)

When, on the date of reference, the relationship among the persons who live at the establishment or institution is restricted to norms and regulations of administrative subordination. All collective dwellings (whether or not they have residents) will be recorded on a Permanent Dwelling List Form. For each collective dwelling a Permanent Dwelling List Form will be filled out or, if necessary, more than one.

The following are examples of collective dwellings: hotels, boarding houses, prisons, jails, military bases, military posts, asylums, orphanages, convents, hospitals and clinics (with hospital admission), living quarters for workers, motels, camp sites, etc.

When is a Unit recorded as Non-residential? (Code 6)

When the building intended for commercial or industrial activities, services, etc. does not have residents on the date of reference.

[p. 56]

Embassies, legations (diplomatic representations on a level below embassies) or consulates represent foreign territory and will therefore be considered non-residential units, even if they are also serving as housing.

All the concepts concerning class (espécie) described up till now refer to Column 3 on the Permanent Dwelling List Form.

[Remaining text on page 56 and pages 57 - 78 were not translated into English.]

[p. 79]

Block 2 - Characteristics of the household/dwelling

To better understand the Blocks below, it is important to learn certain concepts.

What is a family?
In Private Households, a family is considered as:

  • a person who lives alone;
  • a group of persons related by ties of kinship or domestic dependence; and
  • persons related by norms and regulations of correct conduct.

In collective dwellings, persons who live in the same unit and have ties of kinship or domestic dependence should be considered families.

[p. 89]

Definitions:
Domestic dependence - The situation of subordination of domestic employees and agregados in relation to the person responsible for the household/dwelling or for the family, and;

Norms and regulations of proper conduct - The compliance with rules established for proper conduct with persons who live in the same household/dwelling and were not related by ties of kinship or domestic dependence.

What are families in a multiple family household?
Families with at least two persons each which were living in the same private household on the date of reference are defined as families in a multiple family household.

Families in a multiple family household are comprised of relatives with their respective families or persons without ties of kinship with their respective families, such as:

  • Father and son or daughter and their respective families who were living in the same household/dwelling;
  • Siblings with their respective families who were living in the same household/dwelling;
  • Employers and employees with their respective families who lived in the same household/dwelling;
  • Friends or colleagues with their respective families who were living in the same household/dwelling.

The concept of families in a multiple family household applies only to private households, where a single questionnaire will be applied to all the residents. If the total number of persons that comprise this household/dwelling is greater than six residents, use supplementary questionnaires.

How to record persons who occupy two or more homes?
It must first be determined, in conjunction with the person being interviewed, which of the two homes or residences is the main one

The same person cannot be considered a resident in two different homes at the same time. Otherwise, the Enumerator would make the mistake of duplicating data.

For this purpose, use the criteria listed below regarding the family, in the order they are listed in, to determine where the family actually lives:

  • The person indicates his or her regular home (main residence);
[p. 90]
  • The person is considered a resident at the home where he or she spends most of the year; and
  • The person will be considered a resident in the home where he or she has lived longer if he or she occupies two homes during equally long periods during the year.

A home not considered the main home will only be considered a dwelling for occasional use if there are no residents living in it.

[Remaining text on page 90 and page 91 were not translated into English]

[p. 92]

Block 4 - Householder characteristics

Objective

In this block, data about certain characteristics of the residents are gathered that will produce a demographic and socioeconomic profile of the country's population and provide more specific estimates, studies and diagnoses with the objective of supplying information for the planning and development of government policies and programs.

On CD 1.02 - The Sample Questionnaire, the characteristics of the residents of the households are collected in a more detailed way. Therefore, besides information about sex, age, etc., you will also ask about data on race/race, religion, physical handicaps, migration, formal education, marriage bonds, work, income and fertility.

On CD 1.01 - The Basic Questionnaire, record the information referring to the first person on the 2nd page and, on CD 1.02 - Sample Questionnaire, on Pages 3 to 7.

Record on the following pages the information referring to the other members of the household (starting with the spouse, if any) and continuing through the other members, according to the numbered order specified in the list of residents of the household.

[p. 93]

Name - record the first and last names of the person being enumerated.

If two or more persons have the first and last names, complete the record in a way that will distinguish them.

Then, if the person himself or herself is providing the information, mark an X in the square corresponding to this answer. There may be more than one person providing the information for a given household. In this case, as many squares as necessary will be marked


Question 4.01 - Sex (Basic and Sample)

Mark the square corresponding to the sex of the person enumerated.

1 - Male
2 - Female



Question 4.02 - What is your relationship with the person responsible for the household? (Basic and Sample)

Mark an X for the code corresponding to the relationship between each person and the person responsible for the household. Example: 6 - Brother, Sister.

Note: On the Basic Questionnaire, the alternative responses for the 1st person refer only to the Person or Individual Responsible in a Collective Dwelling.

[p. 94]


Question 4.03 - What is your relationship with the person responsible for the family?

Mark an X with the code corresponding to the relationship between each member of the family and the person responsible for the family to which he or she belongs in the household.

Example: 3 - Son, Daughter, Stepson, Stepdaughter

For the first person of the household, only Code 01 or 12 may be filled out, according to the concept, both in the relationship with the person responsible for the household (Question 4.02) and in the relationship with the person responsible for the family (Question 4.03).

In the supplementary questionnaires, the pages with the questions related to the 1st person should be filled out for the 7th, 13th, etc. persons. In this case, the code indicated in Question 4.02 may not be 01 or 12, codes which apply only to the person responsible for the household and, in Question 4.03, Code 12 may not be indicated, since it refers alone to a person who lives only in a collective dwelling.

The records of the condition in the household and condition in the family should obey the following criteria:

1 - Person responsible - for the person (man or woman) who is responsible for the household or for the family, or who is considered the person responsible by the other residents;
2 - Spouse, common law spouse - for the person (man or woman) who lives maritally with the person responsible for the household or for the family, whether or not there is a marital bond;
3 - Son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter - also considering adopted or foster children, as well as children only of the spouse, even if this spouse is deceased or no longer lives in the household;
4 - Father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law - also consider stepfather and stepmother;


[p. 95]

5 - Grandchild, great-grandchild - consider including only of the spouse;
6 - Sibling - Consider even those without ties of blood-relationship (adopted and foster);
7 - Other relative - grandparent, great-grandparent, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle, aunt, nephew niece, cousin, including only of the spouse;
8 -Agregado - for persons who have fixed residence in the household without being a relative, boarder, domestic employee or relative of a domestic employee;
9 - Boarder - for persons who, without being relatives, have their fixed residence in the household and pay for lodgings;
10 - Domestic employee - for persons who rendered remunerated domestic services to the residents of the household or family;
11 - Relative of a domestic employee - for a persons who is a relative of a domestic employee and who does not render remunerated domestic services to the residents of the household or family;
12 - Individual in a collective dwelling - for persons alone who live in collective dwellings.

For families who live in collective dwellings, the relationship or dependence in the household will always be in relationship to the person responsible for the family in the collective dwelling.

[p. 96]


Question 4.04 - Number of the family

In the case of a single family, record No. 1 for all the residents. In cases of families who live in private multiple family households, record for each person the number of the family to which he or she belongs.

The family of the person responsible for the household will always be Number 1. For the other families, if there are any, record the number in sequential order starting at Number 2.

In collective dwellings, record one (1) for all persons who are members of the family living in the multiple family household, and 0 (zero) for persons alone - individuals in collective dwellings.

[The examples in pages 96 - 97 were not translated into English.]

[p. 97]

Notice that CD 1.01 - Basic Questionnaire has only the question - Relationship with the Person Responsible for the Household.


Question 4.05 (Sample) and 4.03 (Basic) - What month and year were you born in?

Record the month and, with four digits, the year of the person's birth.

For persons who know only the day and/or month, without remembering their year of birth, the year cannot be calculated based on the information of presumed age. This question will be left blank when the person is unable to inform the month and year of birth.

The month should not be completed with zeros in this question.

[p. 98]

Question 4.06 (Sample) and 4.04 (Basic) - How old were you on July 31, 2000?

This question should be filled out only for those who also filled out Question 4.05 (month and year of birth).
If the age is one (1) year or over, record the number of full years in the Field: 1 year or more.
If the age is less than one (1) year, record the number of full months in the Field: In months.
For recently born children less than one (1) month of age, record 0 (zero) in the Field in months.

This question should not be completed with zeros.

Question 4.07 (Sample) and 4.05 (Basic) - What is your presumed age?

This question will be filled out only when the respondent does not know his or her month or year of birth. Presumed age should be recorded only after all efforts at obtaining the month and year of birth have been exhausted.

If the presumed age is one (1) year or over, record the number of full years in the Field: 1 year or more.
If the presumed age is less than one (1) year, record the number of full months in the Field: In months.
For recently born children less than one (1) month of age, record 0 (zero).
The entry of presumed age for children under one (1) year should be very rare, and admissible only in exceptional cases.

This question should not be completed with zeros.

From Question 4.08 until Question 4.27, only the data for CD 1.02 - Sample Questionnaire - will be investigated.

Question 4.44 - How many jobs did you have during the week of July 23 to 29, 2000? (Work in production for personal consumption should be counted only when it is the only work exercised).

Record the total number of full or part-time jobs that the person had during the week of reference; that is, at how many enterprises the person had work during that week.

Although, strictly speaking, a person who worked in remunerated domestic service is not subordinated to an enterprise, by convention, this type of activity should be counted as if it were an enterprise; regardless of the number of units where the person exercised the remunerated domestic work, the activity should be considered a single job.

Only consider work in production for personal consumption if this is the only work carried out during the period.

1 - One
2 - Two or more


Main Work

Questions 4.45 to 4.50 refer only to the work or the main work that the person had during the week of reference.
For persons who had more than one job during the week of reference, use the following criteria in the specified numbered order to define the main work:

  • the main work will be that in which the person dedicated the greatest number of hours usually worked per week, regardless of being remunerated or non-remunerated;


[pg. 122]

  • if these numbers are the same, the work that the person has exercised for the longest time, regardless of being remunerated or non-remunerated;
  • if the person has been at these jobs for the same length of time, the main one will be that which provides the highest income.



Question 4.45 - What occupation did you exercise in your main work during the week of July 23 to 29, 2000?

Occupation is understood as the function, position, profession or trade performed by a person in an activity economic.

For persons who permanently replaced the work they had with another during the week of reference, consider the information related to the more recent work.

Do not confuse occupation with specialization or professional training. Therefore:

  • a person trained in mathematics who is administering a public school will have public school principal as occupation; and
  • a person trained in psychology who is exercising the function of a teller at a bank will have bank teller as occupation.


[pg. 123]

It is essential that the record of the occupation clearly express the work exercised by the person. Therefore, generic entries should be avoided, such as:

  • Teacher is a generic entry. The correct entry would be dancing teacher, primary school teacher, junior high school teacher, senior high school teacher, university professor;
  • Salesman is a generic entry. The correct entry would be company salesman, candy peddler, street market vendor, shop salesperson; and

  • identify the main activity of the business, company, firm, etc., where the person worked during the week of reference; that is, the main objective or line of the business, firm, institution, company or organization he or she worked for, or the nature of the activity exercised by persons who worked as self-employed;
  • for persons who worked in activities related to farming, silviculture, cattle raising, plant extraction, fishing and fish raising, record the main activity of the enterprise;
  • for persons who worked in agribusiness, record:

  • the main activity in the case of the person who owns the establishment; and
  • the activity in which the person exercised his or her occupation, in the case of any other worker.

  • for persons who worked in a company that assigned its personnel to provide services in other companies, record the activity of the company where she or he was registered as an employee; and


[pg. 124]

  • for persons who worked in the manufacturing of certain items (labels, packages, glass, etc.) only to add them to the final product, the record should refer to the manufacturing of this final product.


It is essential that the record clearly express the objective of the main activity of the enterprise, firm, company, institution or organization.
Therefore, generic entries such as the following should be avoided:

Service is a generic entry. The correct entry would be: security services, city cleaning services, etc.
Department is a generic entry. The correct entry would be municipal department of education, state treasury department, etc.
Commerce, or trade, is a generic entry. The correct entry would be cloth trade, paint trade, candy peddler's trade.
