[Pages 8-9 explaning the way to make notations on the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

[Page 10]

What type of questions will I find on the census questionnaire?
There are several types of questions on the census questionnaire, whose answers get registered in different manners.

Registering the answer by observation.
These questions are filled out noting what you observe, as is indicated in this manual.

[Copies of questions III-V from the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

Remember to complete a census questionnaire for each dwelling, whatever its condition of occupancy.

Answer with a single registry.
This is what we call the questions that are marked with only one piece of information and that have no alert regarding its registry.

[Copies of questions 14, 21, and 22 from the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

[Page 11]

Answers with multiple registries:
In the questionnaire, there are four question, not more, in which you can mark an X in more than one circle. These are questions 9, 14, 15, and 18 of section 4. It is important to take into account the alert notices.

[Copies of questions 9, 14, 15, and 18 from the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

Answer with registries in sequence:
The question is called registries in sequence when you mark the first answer with a circle then follow this with an answer where you write out the answer completely in the space provided for this.

[Copies of questions 11 and 13 from the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

[Page 12]

How should these questions be read?
Reading the questions should be done just as it is found on the census questionnaire.

For the questions that have a semi-colon (:), you should read all of the categories of the answer. For example:

You should read: The predominant material of the exterior walls of the dwelling is: Reinforced concrete?, Brick or concrete block?, Mud bricks or mud?, Wood?, Coated cane or mud-and-branches?, Uncoated cane?, Other materials?, and wait for the answer.

If the informant answers "no", you should insist that you need an answer and read the question and alternatives again.

If the question ends with a question mark (?), you should not read the alternatives. For example:

You should read: How old is Juan in years completed?

[A] The white boxes are instructions that you should follow.

• The words in parenthesis ( ) serve as a guide so that you take them into account while completing them.
• With a word that is found with the following symbol ( / ), you should read it according to the sex of the person to whom you are applying the example. For example: married [in Spanish with an o] should be read if it is a man and if it is a woman, you should read married [in Spanish with an a].
• In the questions with a parenthesis with three dots (?), you should insert the name of the person you are enumerating.

Why is it that not all of the numbers of the questions are circled?
The circle around the number of the question indicates that this question can be part of the flow and does not necessarily follow the previous question. With the goal of maintaining a logical order to the census questionnaire, a flow or leap system has been established to allow the interview to continue with the information that is received.

If you register the answer "yes" in question 5, do not ask question 6 and follow the flow to question 7.

When there is no indication in the question of a flow or leap, it is understood that you should continue with the next question.

[Page 13]

6. Instructions for completing the census questionnaire.

[Copies of sections III-V of the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

Important: The enumerator will investigate whether there is a private dwelling within the collective dwelling; which means that he/she should find out if within the collective dwelling there is a person or group of persons who live in the collective dwelling permanently; if this is the case, the interview should be done. For example: hotel owners, clinic caretakers, etc.

[Page 16]

[Copies of sections I-V of the census questionnaire are omitted here.]

Important: Once you have followed the instructions to cases of dwellings with the people absent, unoccupied, and under construction, leave the rest of the questionnaire blank, stick the enumerated label on the dwelling and continue with the next dwelling.

[Page 17]

[Section 1]

Step 5: If the dwelling is found occupied with people present, carry out the interview with the head of household or spouse about the information from section 1, information about the dwelling.

Annex 1: Census dictionary

1. General definitions:
Factual or de facto census:

Day of the census:
This is the calendar day (November 28th, 2010) selected for carrying out the enumeration of dwellings and population.

Enumeration:
This is the collection the information in each of the dwellings.

Census questionnaire:
The instrument where we gather the information about the dwellings, households, and population.

Block:
It is the element most characteristic of a map and is result of the road structure (streets) that communicate houses seated in a populated center. It is important to note that a block can be formed by buildings, parks, seats, etc.

Block drawing (form ca 04):
This is the support instrument for identifying the dwelling of the enumeration area assigned to each student.

Building or construction:
This is any construction or structure that can be constituted as one or various dwellings, economic establishments, public or private institutions, that occupy a determined space. For example: houses, schools, religious temples, garages, warehouses, apartment and/or office buildings, etc.

Dwelling:
Dwelling is an enclosure of structurally separated lodging and with independent entrance, constructed, built, transformed or arranged to be lived in by one or more people, as long as at the moment of the census they are not used in their totality for a different purpose. Also considered as dwellings are mobile spaces (boats, cars, etc.) and spaces improvised as living spaces that are inhabited at the moment of completing the census. That a dwelling has independent access means that it has direct access from public ways or that it has access through spaces that are for common use of various dwellings, such as corridors, patios, stairs, elevators.

Private dwelling:
It is the place of separated and independent lodging, designated for housing one or more households. These dwellings can be occupied, unoccupied or under construction.

Census household:
From the point of view of the census, a household is constituted by one or several people, whom do not necessarily have a kinship relation, they sleep in the same house, they cook foods in joint form and share the same cost for the food, that is to say, they eat from a common pot.

Head of household (male or female):
This is the person who is recognized as such by the other members of the household for reasons of dependency, affinity, age, authority, respect, etc.

Block summary form (fra-01-ea):
This is the page where the total of population and dwelling is summarized by each enumerator.

Section head (male or female).
This is the person who is responsible for completing the census in the sector under his/her charge, on the day of the census. This person is in charge of directing, controlling and supervising the work of the enumerator under his/her charge.

[Page 38]

2. Types of dwelling
House:
This is all permanent construction made with resistant materials, such as: asbestos, reinforced concrete, stone, concrete block, brick, adobe, cane or wood. They generally have a water supply and sanitary services for exclusive use.

Apartment in a house or building:
This is a set of rooms that make up part of a building of one or more floors, characterized by being independent and, generally, has a water supply and sanitary services for exclusive use.

Cinderblock house [mediagua]:
This is a construction of only one floor, with walls made of brick, adobe, concrete block or wood, with a roof of clay tile, fiber-concrete sheets ('eternit' and 'árdex' [brands]) or zinc. The roof generally has one pitch and the house has one or two rooms maximum. If it has more than two rooms, it is considered a house.

Rental rooms:
These are made up of one or various rooms that are part of a house with a common entry and direct from a passageway, patio, hallway, or street, and generally does not have exclusive service of water or sanitary service.

[Page 39]

Shack:
This is a rustic construction, covered with zinc, palm or any other similar material, with walls of cane or mud and branches, and with a floor made of cane or wood. Generally, this type of dwelling is found in regions with a warm climate. In this category, you should not include the 'ranchos' of the rural properties or farms, these are considered as houses.

Small farm house:
This is the construction that has walls made of adobe, mud bricks, cane or mud and branches, with floors of dirt or wood and straw roof.

Hovel:

3. Occupancy conditions of the dwelling
This permits identifying if the dwelling, at the moment of enumeration, is found:

• With person present (complete all of the census questionnaire);
• With people absent, there is nobody home and you will return as many times as necessary (complete the first page of the census questionnaire);
• Unoccupied, without people, nor furniture, but ready to be occupied (complete the first page of the census questionnaire);
• Under construction, without people, nor furniture, but in the process of being built (complete the first page of the census questionnaire).

[Page 40]

4. Identification of households in the dwelling
From the census point of view, households are formed by one or various persons who are not necessarily related, who sleep in the same dwelling, cook their food together and share the same budget for food, which is to say that they eat from a common pot.

For a better identification of households, below there are some cases that can be presented.

Case 1: The father, mother and children are living in a dwelling. In one bedroom of the same dwelling, the oldest daughter is living with her husband, cooking and tending to her husband, which is to say that they prepare their food separately. In this case, there are two households in the same dwelling, therefore you should use two census questionnaires.

Case 2: Taking the previous example, but in the supposed case that the married daughter and her husband do not cook their food separately, but instead all of them share, in this case there is only one household, for which you will only use one census questionnaire.

Case 3: If there are three students living in a dwelling, who only see each other at night, they eat separately, and the food expenses are paid individually. In this case, these are three separate single-person households, therefore, you will use three census questionnaires.

[Page 41]

5. Persons to be enumerated

Take into account that the census moment (00:00 hours of November 28th) -which is the beginning of the census- takes a photograph of the inhabitants of the country in the location where they are found.

In a census household, you should enumerate:

• All of the persons who spent the night before the day of the census, including the persons who are domestic employees, relatives or non-relatives, who slept in this household the night before the day of the census or who passed the night in this household.
• All of the persons who occasionally, for their work, are absent at night on the night before the day of the census, such as: doctors, nurses, guards, doormen, members of the military who are on duty.
• All of the boys and girls who were born before zero hours of the day of the census.
• All of the persons who died after zero hours of the day of the census.

You should not enumerate in the household:

• Persons who habitually live in the household, but on the night before the census were housed in another dwelling, hotel or other place different from their census household. These people will be enumerated in the place where they spent the night before the census.
• The members of the household who are found interned in hospitals or jails. They will be enumerated in the place where they spent the night before the census.
• All of the children who were born after zero hours of the day of the census.
• All of the persons who died before the zero hours of the day of the census.

6. Indigenous groups and nationalities (i)
Indigenous groups:
These are defined as "collective groups that originate from or are conformed by communities or centers with cultural identities that distinguish them from other sectors of Ecuadorian society, governed by their own social, economic and legal organizations."

Indigenous nationalities:
Understood as nationality is the set of previous millennium groups and constituted by the Ecuadorian state, that self-identify as such, have a common historical identity, language, culture and that live in a determined territory, through its traditional institutions and manners of social, economic, judicial, political organization and exercises its own authority.
