VII. Basic Definitions
In order to facilitate the use of the form and correctly interpret the terms, the most important definitions are given here.
Building: A building is any construction that constitutes a structurally independent enclosure, finished or not, made for the purposes of habitation, business, industry, or any other kind of activity.
Examples: Cottages, bungalows, callampas [improvised dwellings in a squatter settlement], sheds, factories, stores, silos, warehouses, and other structures.
Dwelling: Any structurally separate and independent premises or enclosure constructed, converted, or prepared for permanently or temporarily housing people.
Household: A single person or group of related or unrelated people who live together in a family system or for reasons of another nature and who occupy all or part of a dwelling.
The household can be:
[p. 10]
A private household: This corresponds to the currently common idea of a family, which is one that includes two or more related people, who satisfy their food needs together and occupy all or part of a dwelling. The household, in the majority of cases, is made up of a Head of Household, the head's relatives (spouse or partner in a consensual union, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, etc.), guests and boarders fewer than five (5), domestic servants that are lodged in the household, and any other occupant. A private household can also be made up of a person who lives alone.
A collective household: Formed by groups of, normally unrelated, people who share a dwelling due to reasons of health, discipline, religion, studies, etc. This is the case with boarding schools, schools, or university institutes; prisons and other correctional facilities; hospitals, barracks, convents, hotels, boardinghouses and guesthouses, as well as private households with six (6) or more boarders or boardinghouses with a municipal license, regardless of the number of boarders.

XIV. How to fill in the Questionnaires
[p. 21]
B. dwelling
In the Housing Census, information should be collected about [p. 22]
I General Data about the Dwelling.
II Data about the Household.
If the dwelling is inhabited by a single household, you should fill in all of part B (questions 1 to 13) for this household.
If the dwelling is inhabited by two or more households, you should fill in all of part B for the first household. When enumerating the other households, you should only fill in questions 6 to 13 (Data about the Household).
Below are the specific instructions for completing sections I and II of part B of the form.
I. General Data about the Dwelling
Questions 1 through 5
Question No. 1--Type of Dwelling
The different types of private and collective dwellings are defined below. You should classify each house that you are responsible for enumerating and mark the appropriate choice from the 14 types of dwelling described.
A. Private Dwellings
01) House: A permanent building; separate and independent, with a direct entry from the street, garden or lot (cottage, bungalow, duplex, houses under constant construction, hut).
02) Apartment: Is located in a permanently constructed building; has a separate entrance from a hallway, stairway, or other common space in the building or direct access from the street. The occupants can come and go without passing through a premises occupied by others.
Apartments can also be found in commercial buildings and as separate and independent areas within institutions (apartment for the Director of a hospital or the caretaker of a commercial building).
03) Tenement (high-density slum) dwelling: Is a room or group of rooms that make up an independent dwelling. They are located along a common-use hallway and have shared facilities (generally in an old house).
04) Shack, rustic hut, or cabin: Is typically a rural building, separate or independent, made of light material (clay with straw, reeds, dried stone).
05) Improved shack [Mejora]: Is a construction made of light material put up to take care of a construction site or construction materials, etc., and is generally occupied by the caretaker and family.
[p. 23]
06) Squatter Dwelling: Is a temporary building made from waste materials (cardboard, tin, waste construction materials). They make up groups of dwellings located in uncultivated areas belonging to others where there is neither urbanization nor hygienic conditions for living there. It is also possible to find squatter dwellings in isolated areas or constructed close to other dwelling groups.
07) Dwelling in a structure or other premises not meant for residential purposes: This group includes dwellings under construction, wineries, granaries, garages, warehouses, etc., in other words, buildings that were not originally meant for residential purposes.
Included in this group are caves, mine entrances, etc.
08) Boxcar, boat, tent, etc.: Are types of mobile lodging or lodging made to be transported.
09) Other types of private dwelling: In this category you should include all other types of dwelling besides those already specified.
B. Collective Dwellings
10) Hotel, Motel, Inn: Is a dwelling where temporary or permanent lodging, with or without food, is provided. A hotel, motel, or inn is a building meant as a collective dwelling.
11) Boardinghouse or Guesthouse: Has the same structural characteristics that private dwellings have. If the dwelling has 6 or more boarders it is considered a boardinghouse or guesthouse.
If the dwelling has 5 or fewer boarders it should be recorded as a private dwelling.
Boardinghouses and guesthouses with a municipal license will always be considered collective dwellings, regardless of the number of boarders.
12) Lodge: Is a dwelling meant to provide nighttime lodging. It is characterized by the renting of beds by the night.
13) Institutions: Are dwellings that are used as a place of lodging by a group of unrelated people who live together for reasons of health, religious life, discipline, work, etc. (hospitals, boarding schools, barracks, prisons, etc.).

There are two possibilities:
a) That the occupants are returning the day of the census. In this case you should note in the Observations column on the control sheet, on the line corresponding to the dwelling, that you should return later on to enumerate the occupants and complete the form.
b) That the occupants aren't returning on the day of the census (you've found out that they're on vacation, on a trip, etc.) In this case, you should mark box 2.
If the occupants aren't going to return on the day of the census but spent the night from April 21 to 22 in this dwelling, you should request, from neighbors who know the occupants, as much information as you can get, both about the dwelling and about the people who stayed there during the night in question, or at least the total number of people and their sex, not forgetting small children.
3) Unoccupied: If the dwelling doesn't have any occupants and there are no indications that it is inhabited, you should mark box 3. Signs like "For sale" or "For rent" are indications that the dwelling may be vacant.

You should try to obtain from the informant all the data for all members of the household. Only if, after exhausting all efforts to get the informant to give a concrete answer, one is impossible to obtain, should you mark the box "unknown" or write the word "unknown," as the case may be.
I. General Characteristics
This part of the census form is meant for investigating the composition and distribution of the population according to sex, age, marital status, place of birth, and place of residence. These questions, except numbers 5 and 9, should be asked of all people enumerated, without exception. Question 5 about "Current Marital Status" will be asked only of those 12 years and older, and question 9 regarding "Place of Residence in April of 1965" will only be asked of people 5 years old and older.
[p. 33]
Question No 1.--First and Last Names
Mark on the respective lines the first and last names of all people who spent the night in the household on the night of April 21 to 22, in the following order:

Examples: night watchmen, doctors, on-call nurses, police officers, midwives, partygoers, wake-goers, and those people who left the household after midnight on the night before the day of the census and who are traveling.
It is important that you remember to enumerate children born before midnight of the 21st and those who died after midnight on the 21st.
If the name of any person who spent the night of April 21 to 22 in the household is unknown, you should enumerate them as N.N. In the case of a newborn that doesn't have its own name, you should also mark N.N. and the paternal and maternal last names.
Question No. 2--Family or Other Relationship
Keep in mind that what we want to find out is the relationship (bond) that the person being enumerated has with the head of household at the time of the census.
For the purposes of the census, people will be classified in seven (7) groups. The title "Head" is printed in the first column; therefore, it is only necessary to mark the box after the word "Head."
In the following columns you should mark the family or other relationship that ties the rest of the household members to the head of household.
Question No. 3--Sex
Mark the box that corresponds to the sex indicated by the informant for each of the people that spent the night in the household.
[p. 34]
Question No. 4--Age
You must remember that the information requested is the number of years that the person being enumerated has completed and not the number of years that they will have completed. You should exhaust all resources in order to obtain the exact age. If, despite you efforts, it is impossible to obtain it, estimate the age of the person if the person is present or, if absent, ask the informant for an estimate.
If the person being enumerated is less than one year old, write down zero, zero (00).
Question No. 5--Current Marital Status
Only for those 12 and older

For this question, you should obtain the municipality or country where the person being enumerated was born.
If the person reports being born in the same municipality in which the enumeration takes place, mark the box following the word "here" and continue with question No. 8.
[p. 35]
If the person was born in another municipality, write down the name of that municipality and the province to which it belongs.
If the person was born abroad, record only the name of the country of birth.
Question No. 8--Current Habitual Residence
Place of habitual residence means the place in which the person is established because of work, business, family life, etc. for a period of six months or more, even though the person may have no intention of settling in that place, or for a lesser period if the person has come with the intention of settling in that place.
If the person being enumerated has their habitual residence in the same municipality where the enumeration is taking place, mark the box after the word "here" and continue on to question No. 9.
If the person has their habitual residence in another place, you should record the name of the municipality or place where the person being enumerated habitually resides and the province to which that municipality or place belongs.
If the person being enumerated maintains their residence abroad, record only the country where the person habitually resides.
Question No. 9--Habitual Residence in 1965
This question should only be asked of people 5 years and older. The name of the municipality or place and the name of the province where the person being enumerated lived in April of 1965 should be obtained, if the person was living in Chile on that date. If the person was living abroad, the name of the country of residence should be obtained.
When the response is the same as the place of enumeration, mark the X following the box "here" and continue on to question No. 10.
If the response is different [from the place of enumeration], find out the name of the municipality and province of residence in 1965 if the person lived in the country, and the name of the country if the person lived abroad.

Question No. 12--Literacy
Any person able to read and write a simple paragraph in any language is considered literate.
This question will only be asked of those who answered "none," "primary," or "basic" to question No. 10.
If the person being enumerated only reads or only writes, you will mark box No. 2, that is, following the word "No".
III. Economic Characteristics
Questions 13 through 16, included under this title, will only be asked of people 12 and older.
Question No. 13--Type of Activity
The purpose of this question is to determine what part of the population 12 years and older is "economically active," and, of that part, how many can be considered "employed" and how many "unemployed."
The responses are exclusive, it being unacceptable to mark more than one response.
Faced with this question, you will read each one of the alternatives that appear as a response, pausing between alternatives in order to permit the informant to precisely determine which of the responses describes their situation during the week of April 13 to 18.
The questions: "Did you work?," "Did you not work but were employed?," etc. should be asked in the order that they appear on the census form.
[p. 37]
You will mark only one of the alternatives, according to the following guidelines:
0) Did you work? If the person performed compensated labor during the week of April 13 to 18 of a continuous nature equivalent to at least one day of work.
1) Did you not work but were employed? Mark this box if the person didn't work during the week of April 13 to 18 but had a job or business and was temporarily absent because of vacation, sickness, or another reason.
2) Did you look for work and had worked before? (Unemployed). You should mark this box in the case of people who didn't have a job during the week of April 13 to 18 because they withdrew from their job, because of being let go or for another reason, and who are waiting to be called again or are looking for a new job.
3) Did you seek work for the first time? You will mark this box if the person has never had a compensated job and, during the week of April 13 to 18 they took steps to get a job.

8) Other? You should mark the box after the line "other" if the person being enumerated was not, during the week of April 13 to 18, in any of the situations previously listed: for example, disabled persons or shut-ins who don't work.
Question No. 14--Main Occupation
What trade, profession, or type of work was performed the week of April 13 to 18, or before in the case of an unemployed person?
You should ask this question only of people who worked or didn't work but were employed (boxes 0 and 1 from question 13) and of those who looked for work and had worked before (box 2 from question 13). The response should be noted in the space reserved for this purpose opposite the question.
[p. 38]
If the person being enumerated reports having more than one occupation, you should record only their main occupation.
"Main Occupation" means the one that provides the greatest income.
In the case of a person who worked before but wasn't employed during the week of April 13 to 18 (unemployed), record the "last occupation."
Avoid vague designations such as: assistant, machinist, office worker, seller, etc.
Use designations that give the best possible idea of the person's occupation, for example: agricultural engineer, fruit vendor, taxi driver, typist etc.
Question No. 15--Occupational Category
This question will only be asked of those people who responded with boxes 0, 1, and 2 to question 13.
You will mark one of the following alternatives, as appropriate:
1) Employer or boss: If the person being enumerated ran their own business, or practiced a profession or trade on their own and had one or more wage-earning or salaried employees or manual laborers during the week of April 13 to 18.
2) Own-account worker: If the person ran their own company or practiced a profession or trade on their own, but did not have any wage-earning or salaried employees or manual laborers during the week of April 13 to 18.
3) Employee: A person who works for an employer or boss and makes their tax contributions [imposiciones] to an Employees' Social Security Fund [Caja de Previsión de Empleados], as for example the Private Employees' Fund, the Public Employees Fund, etc.
4) Manual Laborer or Day-Laborer: A person who works for an employer and contributes to the Social Security Service or another Manual Laborer Social Security Fund.
If the person doesn't make contributions or doesn't know which fund they contribute to, the person should be classified as an employee or manual laborer based on whether intellectual or physical effort, respectively, prevail in their work.
5) Domestic Worker: If the person worked for an employer or boss and worked at activities related to household service during the week of April 13 to 18 and received compensation in the form of a salary.
[p. 39]
6) Unpaid family member: If the person worked, during the week of April 13 to 18, without compensation in a business run by a relative, for at least a third of the normal work week.
For those who worked previously but were unemployed during the week of April 13 to 18, record the category (employee, manual laborer, etc.) that they had in their last occupation.
Question No. 16--Industry
As was the case with questions 14 and 15, this question should be asked only of those who responded with boxes 0, 1, and 2 on question 13.
Record the industry of the establishment where the person worked during the period of reference (April 13 to 18). Example: poultry farm, mining, construction, Ministry of Education, cotton fabric factory, cement factory, etc. Avoid vague terms like: farm, factory, office, etc.
For those people who were unemployed during the reference week but who had worked previously, record the industry of the establishment where they last worked.
IV. Fertility Rate
Only for women 15 and older
The questions included under this title should be asked of all women 15 and older, regardless of their marital status. Ask the questions exactly as they are written, waiting for a response to each item (A, B, C, etc.) before continuing on to the next one.
If the answer to item A) How many live-born and stillborn children have you had?, is "none," record zero, zero (00). Conversely, if the response is affirmative, record the number of children and ask all of the following questions, even though they may seem obvious.
If the number of children had by a woman is unknown, or if the person doesn't respond to this question, record XX after item A).
In order to answer the questions, it is necessary for you to remember the following definitions:
Born alive: A child who, upon being born, breathes, cries, or moves. If the child demonstrated any of these signs of life and then died, it is a "child born alive."
Stillborn: A child who, upon being born, doesn't show any sign of life. That is, the child doesn't cry, breathe, or move.
[p. 40]

B. Record here, separately, the total number of stillborn children.
C. Again separately, record in this item the total number of children born alive.
D. Of the children born alive, record in this item how many are currently alive.
E. From the total of children born alive, record in this item how many of them have died.
