Section II - Information about regular inhabitants of the dwellings

1 - Personal information

The question on "relatives and cohabitants of the head of household on the Household form" and the questions on gender, civil status and date of marriage serve to gather information about families and households and, more specifically, to learn more about their composition, size and type (e.g. how many couples have children, how many children live with only one parent, how many people live alone, etc.).

Question 1.1
Indicate the kinship or cohabitation relationship with the head of household as indicated on the Household form. The head of household on the Household form is the person under whose name the family form is filed in the Municipal Public Records Office.

Question 1.2
"Gender" is the essential variable for interpreting and comparing statistical data about men and women.

Question 1.3
The date-of-birth question allows us to minimize the risk of errors in the information used to calculate ages in years.

The date of birth should be written in numbers, not letters. The day and the month should be indicated using two digits, adding a prefix of 0 as needed (for example: 05/06/1967).

Question 1.4
The question about place of birth (place where the birth occurred) is asked so that it can be combined with other data (e.g. place of residence) to reveal population movements within Italy and between Italy and other Countries:

Question 1.5
The question on registration with the municipal Public Records Office allows us to identify the place of residence with greater precision. The municipality of public registration is where the individual in question can request identification documents and certifications of basic public records. The head of household need not respond if the first page of the Household form bears a pre-printed address:

Note that the term cohabitation refers, for example, to educational institutions (boarding schools, seminaries, etc.), welfare institutions (orphanages, family housing, rest homes for the disabled and senior citizens, etc.), healthcare institutions (hospitals, clinics, etc.), prisons, ecclesiastical housing, military centers (military hospitals, military prisons, barracks, etc.), hotels, boarding houses, rental properties and similar, merchant ships (cruise ships, etc.), and so on.

Married individuals who no longer live with their spouse due to personal difficulties with their relationship should check box 3 ("De facto separated"), not box 2 ("Married").

Married individuals who live separately from their spouse due to necessity or other contingencies, alternatively, should check box 2 ("Married"), not box 3 ("De facto separated").

"Formerly married" individuals (i.e., who obtained the dissolution or cessation of the civil status of marriage pursuant to Law no. 898 of 01st December 1970) should check box 5 ("Divorced").

Question 2.2
Anyone who has been married at least one time should respond, including individuals who are currently married, separated (whether de facto or de jure), divorced or widowed.

The date of the marriage itself should be indicated in numbers, not words (for example: 05/1969); for multiple marriages, use the date of the most recent marriage.

Question 2.3
The question on civil status prior to the most recent marriage provides additional information about the formation of couples and thus different types of households.
Indicate your civil status prior to the most recent marriage, even if you have only been married one time.

Anyone who has been married at least one time should respond, including individuals who are currently married, separated (whether de facto or de jure), divorced or widowed.
The citizenship questions serve to determine how many Italian residents are citizens of Italy and how many are citizens of other countries. When combined with the age distribution of the resident population, citizenship information helps us calculate the size and makeup of the eligible voting population.

The questions on parents? place of birth (mother and father) serve to reconstruct the origins of each individual, especially immigrants and their descendants.

3 - Citizenship

Question 3.1
Foreigners should check box 2 and specify the name of their foreign country of citizenship in Italian using the Latin alphabet.

Individuals with another citizenship in addition to their Italian citizenship should indicate Italian citizenship only (by checking box 1).

Foreign citizens with multiple citizenships (but not Italian citizenship) should indicate a single foreign country of residence according to the following order of preference: a) European Union Countries, b) other Countries. For multiple citizenships within group a) or within group b) countries, select a single foreign country of your choice.

Individuals without any citizenship should declare themselves stateless (by checking box 3). The stateless category also applies to people whose citizenship status has yet to be clarified following the dissolution, separation or unification of different States.

Question 3.2
Italians who are citizens by birth should check box 1 ("Yes") even if they were born abroad.

Italians who became citizens after applying for and being granted citizenship by a competent authority, or who acquired Italian citizenship by marriage, ordinary or extraordinary naturalization or birth in Italy and with uninterrupted legal residency since the age of 18 should check box 2 ("No"). Box 2 should also be checked if Italian citizenship was acquired "automatically" - for example:

Questions 3.4 and 3.5
If your parents were born abroad, indicate the current name of the foreign country where their place of birth is located. Indicate the foreign country of birth in Italian using the Latin alphabet.
The questions in point 4 allow us to identify internal and international migrants. Internal migrants are individuals who used to reside in a different municipality from the one they reside in at the time of the survey. International migrants are individuals who resided in a different country at some point in their life, regardless of their specific country of birth and citizenship.

Question 4.1
Check the box corresponding to your location as of the date of the Census.

Check box 1 ("In this dwelling") or 2 ("In this municipality, but in a different dwelling or residence") even if the individual was absent from his/her municipality on 09th October 2011, but returned on 10th October 2011 and did not complete the survey elsewhere.

In your answers to questions 6.6-6.12:

This also includes:

Continuative and coordinated collaborative work (project-based or otherwise): work relating to one or several specific projects, programs or phases thereof. This contract type is characterized by the independence of the collaborator and mutual coordination with the contractor for provision of services. The worker may provide their services to multiple contractors (unless otherwise specified in the individual contract).

Occasional work: in this type of contract, the worker commits to providing the contractor with a job or service while retaining full organizational and operational autonomy without any administrative subordination. While this type of service is classified as occasional because of the fact that the relationship terminates after the agreed result has been achieved, the relationship is not necessarily a short-term one. Registration with INPS (the social security institute) is unnecessary due to the occasional nature of the relationship. Social security payments are not required, therefore, and the taxation involved is income tax, or IRPEF (20% withholding of the due amounts). This work category does not require a written contract, and there is no obligation to apply workplace safety regulations or any other legislation applying to other workers.

Business owner: self-employed manager of a business (agriculture, industry, commercial, services, etc.) which employs staff. With at least one employee working for them, the business owner?s main work is the organization and management of business activities. If direct involvement in the productive process is their primary work (in addition to organizing and managing the activity), then it is more appropriate to check box 6 ("Self-employed worker"). For example, a metalsmith who has his own workshop where he employs an assistant to help him, the primary activity is more about the metalwork itself than management of the workshop.

Freelance professional: works for him/herself in a professional capacity or in the liberal arts (notary, lawyer, dentist, construction engineer, etc.) in which intellectual work or effort is predominant. Freelance professionals may or may not be registered in an official roster of practicing professionals.

Self-employed worker: manager of a farm, small industrial or retail business, craftwork studio, shop or public service who contributes his/her own manual labor. This category also includes farmers, tenant farmers and similar who work directly from their own home on behalf of consumers, and not on commission for businesses. Self-employed workers may or may not have their own employees. What distinguishes them from business owners is how their direct involvement in the productive process predominates over their management-related tasks and responsibilities. If the worker has employees and the organization and management represents their primary activity, then it is more appropriate to check box 4 ("Business owner").

Member of a cooperative: an active member of any cooperative that produces goods and/or provides services, regardless of the specific type of activity involved, and whose compensation is proportional to services and/or share of business profits as opposed to contract-regulated payments.

Family worker: an individual who helps another family member who is self-employed without any contract-regulated work relationship (e.g. a wife helping her shopkeeper husband or a son helping his farmer father).

Question 6.7
Do not answer unless you checked box 1 ("Yes") in question 6.6 ("Dependent employment").

Permanent work relationship: refers to a work relationship for which no expiration date or predefined time limit has been defined;

Fixed-term work relationship: refers to a work relationship that ends when certain objective, predetermined conditions have been satisfied (e.g. expiration of a specific time period, completion of a task, achievement of an objective, return of an employee who had been temporarily replaced).
