Purpose and Importance of population and housing census

1.1. Purpose and importance of population and housing census
The population and housing census refers to the comprehensive process of covering total population in the territory (or specific parts of the territory) in a specific period, collecting and developing basic data on housing, and conducting the demographic, economic, and social analysis, and evaluating, publishing, and disseminating data. In other words, the population and housing census is of great importance as it is the main source of information that creates the conditions for collecting multifaceted information on population and housing, and for its wide application in socio-economic planning and policy development.

The United Nations recommended its member states to undertake the population and housing census at least once between 2015 and 2025, specifically around 2020. In this sense, organizing the population and housing census is only one of Mongolia's obligations before the United Nations. But, it is necessary to have a wider database of population information for determining the current state of social and economic development in Mongolia, ensuring population growth and development, improving household conditions, and providing housing. So the main purpose of the 2020 population and housing is to create a basic database of the population, households, and housing.

In its history, Mongolia has organized the population census for 10 times, namely first in 1918, 1935, 1944, 1956, 1963, 1969, 1979, 1989, 2000, and 2010. The last four censuses were organized along with the housing censuses.

1.2. Legal basis for the census

Chapter three
Instruction for filling in census questionnaire Form HAOST-1

Upon the launch of the census, the enumerator knocks at the door of a household or public building, greets politely, and presents an enumerator's identity card. The first impression of the respondent will affect his willingness to collaborate with you. Therefore, it is important to introduce yourself first in a friendly manner.

When you communicate with respondents, try to make them feel confident.
Use a few thoughtful and friendly words to attract the respondent. Start the conversation with a smile and greet them such as "How are you doing?", "Are you having a good winter?", etc. You greet them related to seasons and the work they are doing. The introduction can be in the following form:

"How are you doing, are you all having a good winter?"

My name is ?????.. I am working as an enumerator in the "2020 National Population and Housing Census". (Show the enumerator's identity card). The 2020 State Population and Housing Census is to be undertaken on January 09-15, 2020. By participating in the census and providing accurate information, you are contributing to the future well-being of yourself and your children".

[p.13]
The enumerator adheres strictly counting each person individually. Census questionnaires are completed by asking each person in a household aged 16 or older. Information about children under 16 shall be filled in by asking a household head or a family member aged 16 or older.
If a household head or household members aged 16 or older are absent during census days, census questionnaires can be asked to children under 16 who are familiar with information on household members and capable to respond. If household members are absent during census days, or if persons who have no family or kinship ties are present, or who are related to family or kinship but not familiar with the information on household members, the enumerator has to revisit for the census.

When non-household persons are enumerated (non-relatives or no family ties), complete the census questionnaire by asking each person.

3.1. Principles for filling in the census questionnaire
Household and household membership. The term "Household" refers to a group of persons who reside in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement for budget and provision of food and basic needs. Household members can hold family, kinship, and relative ties, and some households can not necessarily be related to each other at all.

A household is different from a family. Several families may live in the same household. At the time of the census, in addition to household members, if there are persons living in the same household, who have no family, kinship, or relative ties, they will be enumerated in this household.
Family members on military service, or studying in other provinces or capitals will be enumerated in the household. As these persons are residing in provinces or capitals other than their main administrative units for more than 6 months (183 days), they will be enumerated as permanent residents in the place of residence. However, if soldiers, students, and pupils are at home on leave or vacation during the census, they will be enumerated as permanent residents.

Detainees, convicts, and prisoners in detention facilities are not enumerated in a household regardless of their terms.

The enumerator carefully discusses household members and determines persons to be enumerated in the household based on the definition of household provided at the beginning of this section. After this process, the enumerator will open a questionnaire for each household. However, the enumerator first clarifies who is permanently residing, temporarily absent, or temporarily residing, and finalizes the number of respondents in the household. Then he first writes down the details of the household head including a family name, a father/mother name, a given name, and then other household members.

When opening a household questionnaire, the enumerator does not consider the type of their housing. In other words, one or several households may reside in one dwelling. These households may reside in student and pupil dormitories, staff dormitories, roofs, entrances, tunnels, heating ducts, warehouses, forests, mountains, and caves.

[p.14]
A group of persons living together and having no family, relative, or kin ties is considered non-household. During the census, non-household persons living in one dwelling or a part of a dwelling or renting a room together are enumerated in one questionnaire. In Question A9 of address section I, "non-household" or the code "3" is selected. The following cases may occur.

The general methodology shall be followed to fill in census questionnaires. It includes:

[Figures are omitted here]

3.2. Filling in the additional questionnaire sheet
Each form HAOST-1 will be used to enumerate 6 persons. If more than 6 persons are enumerated, the additional questionnaire sheet is used. Depending on the number of household members and non-household persons, "Additional census questionnaire form" HAOST-1a and HAOST-1b are used. Depending on the number of persons residing abroad for more than 6 months, Form HAOST-1c "Additional questionnaire sheet for II Group questions" will be used.

In other words, if more than 6 household or non-household persons are enumerated, Form HAOST-1a (to enumerate 2 persons) and Form HAOST-1b (to enumerate 4 persons) will be used from the seventh person to continue the "Population Questionnaire".

Form HAOST-1b (to enumerate 4 persons) will be used for the "Population Questionnaire" to enumerate non-household persons living in dormitories or other public buildings. Form HAOST-1b will be used to enumerate non-household persons residing in dwellings such as student dormitories, staff dormitories, nursing homes, military barracks, and prisons. It can be used to enumerate up to 99 persons. If there are more than 99 persons, open a new Form HAOST-1 and use an additional sheet for the census.

[p.19]

To fill in the assigned number, the enumerator writes it in two cells for A5. Enumerator name and number. If it is a 1-digit number, add "0" in the front of the digit, such as "01". For example, if enumerator Gerel. A was assigned the number "5" by the census committee, then A5 shall be filled in as follows.

[A figure is omitted here]

The enumerator fills in the following table by himself.
The enumerator obtains the census committee number, province, soum, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, and enumerator number from his respective census committee and ad-hoc bureau.

[A figure is omitted here]

?7. Village name and code.
According to the Law on Legal Status of Towns and Villages, the village population is classified as residents of self-governed settlements with 500-15000 inhabitants and have intensively developed the following sectors such as agriculture, industry, tourism, recreation, sanatoriums, transportation, and trade. If the respondent's place of residence belongs to a village as indicated in the above provisions, the official name of the village needs to be written in full. Fill in the village name and code from Appendix 2 "List of villages (urban style settlements) in Mongolia". For example: For Tsagaannuur village located in Nogoonnuur soum, Bayan-Ulgii province, fill Tsagaannuur in the A7. Village name and "01" in the code cells.

[p.21]
[A figure is omitted here]

?8. Location: During the census, the locality of households and population is divided into five categories: Capital city "1", Provincial center "2", Village "3", Soum center "4", Countryside "5" and the corresponding code is filled in the back cell. For example, for Tsagaannuur located in Nogoonnuur soum, Bayan-Ulgii province, fill "3" in the cell for A8. Location.

?9. Main household: The enumerator asks a household (if a household head is absent, ask any household member aged 16 or over) how many households live in the dwelling, and if there is only one household, it is stated as a "main household", and if there are two or more households, one of these households are filled as "main household" and others as "shared household". Household residents will decide voluntarily which household to choose as a main household. If a household cannot decide on the "main household", it can be determined based on which household lived in the dwelling for the longest time even though a different household owns it with a warrant or rental agreement. The enumerator opens a new questionnaire for each household residing in the same dwelling and fills in "1" for the main household. For example, if the owner household rents a room to others, the owner household will be called a "main household" and the other will be called a "sharing household".

In the census, completing the questionnaire as "Main household" or "Sharing household" does not affect the future ownership of housing. Carefully describe the occupants that it is only intended for preventing duplicate enumeration of housing rooms, areas, and other indicators and developing the housing policy. For example, Bold rents his three-room apartment to Bat's family, a single woman named Tsetseg, and two students respectively. But Bold's family does not live in this building. In this case, Bat's family comprises a household and will be enumerated as a "Main household". The code "1" is selected.

Sharing household. For households other than the main households living in the same housing, fill in the "sharing household" or code "2". For example, in the above case, Tsetseg will fill in "sharing household" or the code "2"

Non-household. During the census, fill in the code for non-household persons living in all types of housing such as gers, buildings, and non-purpose and other housing. For example, in the above case, if two students have no family or kinship ties, circle the "non-household" or the code "3".

[p.24]
A10. A number of enumerated persons: It refers to the number of persons who are enumerated by the "population questionnaire" of HAOST-1, additional sheet HAOST-1a, HAOST-1b.

A11. Number of additional questionnaire sheets: Open an additional questionnaire sheet for more than six household and non-household persons and continue asking the population questionnaire. In this case, regardless of Form HAOST-1a or Form HAOST-2, fill in the number of newly opened additional sheets. The number of sheets refers to the number of papers. However, if household or non-household persons up to 6 are enumerated, "00" must be filled in two cells of A11 or the number of additional questionnaire. The census committee number, province, capital city, soum, district, baga, khoroo name, code, and census questionnaire number in the header of the additional questionnaire sheet shall be the same as the corresponding name, number, and code of the main census questionnaire.

A12. Are there any family members of this household who reside abroad for work or study for over six months? This question is aimed at collecting information on Mongolian citizens who work and study abroad for a long period. If there is any person from the household who studies or lives abroad more than 6 months (183 days), and if the period of the stay abroad has not reached for 6 months (183) but a person is intended to stay aboard more than 6 months (183 days) in the future, circle "Yes" or code "1" and ask to fill in the Section II.

3.4. Information on persons residing abroad for over 6 months

Following persons are enumerated as citizens of Mongolia residing abroad for over 6 months (183 days).

Based on the following clarifications, the enumerator determines whether the person who is staying broad is to be enumerated in the household.

B column: Father/mother's name and given name. Fill a father/mother's name, given name, and registration number of the person living abroad for more than 6 months in capital letters without using abbreviations.

Based on the provision of Paragraph 3, Article 24 of Law on Family, "A child shall have a father's name ", or " The mother's name can be given to a child whose marriage of parents is not registered or the parentage has not been established by the competent institution". Based on these provisions, write the father (mother) name of the citizen living abroad.

Fill in the corresponding response code from 02 to 10 for question 1 "What is your relationship with the household head?" in the population questionnaire. If the household head lives abroad, the husband/wife replaces this person as the household head. For example, Gerel and Bat are married. At the time of the census, Bat lives abroad for work. In this case, the enumerator asks for information on Bat and fills in the code "02" for the wife/husband of the household head in the "Relationship with household" column. His wife Gerel is selected as the first person in the "Population questionnaire". Do not fill a person who is not related to the household head or a person with code "11".

So, let's explain with the following examples to make it understandable.

[p.52]
[A figure is omitted here]

a. Ask thoroughly and fill in the respondent's occupation and the main economic activity of the enterprise and organization.

Example No.1.
The respondent answered that his occupation is a "manager" and the main economic activity of the enterprise is "industry and trade". In this case, ask the respondent in detail such as which section or department and what kind of manager (general manager, sales manager, or marketing manager), and what kind of industry and trade. The respondent answered for clarification that he works as a marketing manager in a sausage production and sales company. Furthermore, ask questions like "Do you get paid? or do you own the enterprise or organization?". If he does not own it, but gets paid for it, the employment status will be "paid employee". Clarify whether the contract is time-limited. If no specific conditions other than age limit or pension age are not indicated, the employment status is "permanent employee".

Example No. 2
The enumerator can answer that the main economic activity of the organization is "trade" and he works as a "salesman". Clarify which type of trade and sales or whether whole or retail sales he is engaged in. Example No.2, If the respondent is engaged in vegetable wholesale, fill in the vegetable wholesale.

According to the above example, as the respondent works as a vegetable salesman in the wholesale place, his employment status is clear. Because he gets paid as a salesman. Clarify who owns the wholesale place. If he does not own the place, clarify whether his employment term is limited to 3 months or more. If the contract is limited to more than 3 months, his employment status shall be "temporary paid employee".

[p.53]

Example No.3

It is necessary to clearly state specialized workers' jobs by their specializations. If the respondent answers only "operator", it is not enough to simply write "operator". Write which machinery or equipment the respondent is specialized in. For example No.3, the respondent is specialized as an equipment operator at a cement plant. The employment status will be filled in as follows. Regarding the main economic activity of the enterprise, it is clear that he is engaged in paid employment at the plant. So the employment status is "paid employee". Clarify whether his employment term is limited for 3 months or more. If the contract is limited to up to 3 months, his employment status shall be "casual paid employee".

b. Examples to fill in the employment questions if the respondent is engaged in different jobs

Example No.4
If the respondent has more than one job in the last 7 days before the census date, fill in the questionnaire with his main job. The main job refers to the work where he spends more hours in 7 days before the census date. If he spends the same hours, the most earned job will be the main one. In example No.4, Tsetseg works as a general accountant in a government organization. At the time, she had a part-time job as an accountant at a shop. In this case, her occupation is an "economist" as she spends more time in this job. Her main economic activity is "government organization". From her occupation, it is clear that Tsetseg is engaged in paid employment. She will be considered a "regular paid employee".

c. Examples to fill in the employers and their classification if the respondent is an employer.

If the enumerator is self-employed or an employer, it shall be clarified whether the organization is registered as an enterprise.

Example No.5
Dorj runs a car wash and the facility is not registered as an enterprise. He established it with his 3 friends. 7 car washers are employed on shifts. His employment status is an employer of "household marker enterprise". The main economic activity is "car wash". But, his brother Davaa conducts felt production registered as an enterprise. He runs it with 5 other fellows. 3 of them produce felt shoes, and 2 of them are in charge of sales. In this case, Davaa's employment status is an operator of the corporation without employees. The main economic activity is "felt production".

Example No.6
This refers to those aged 15 or over except household heads. They are engaged in household enterprises (livestock breeding, agriculture, etc.) and not engaged in paid jobs. Because they do not get paid for participating in household enterprises. So their employment status shall be "unpaid household enterprise members". In other words, their employment status cannot be considered as self-employed. Because they participate in a household enterprise. Their employment status shall be "contributing family member". In other words, their employment status cannot be "account workers in household market enterprise". They are not engaged in individual production or services. Furthermore, they have 10 horses, 18 cattle, 7 camels, and 15 sheep. The cattle are the most numerous. So the main economic activity will be "cattle breeding".

[p.54]

Example No.7
The household regularly hires other household members for livestock breeding and pays physical and monetary wages. The employment status of the household head shall be "account worker in household market enterprises". The household has 17 horses, 24 cattle, 15 camels, 339 sheep, and 121 goats. The economic activity of the household will be "sheep breeding".

The respondent is a paid employee. Clarify whether he is economically dependent on any organization and whether the organization supervises his products and services. Clarify that in addition to the registered organization, whether he is working with another company or organization under a contract without registration.

The household lives in more than 2 dwellings built for private use. The dwellings have no special layout and were built under the same housing conditions. They have the same address. In this case, these dwellings can be considered "one dwelling". Fill in the number of rooms and infrastructure provisions in the same quarter. For example, the rooms of two buildings will be added and considered as the same quarter. The infrastructure provision includes a kitchen, bathroom, electricity, heating sources, water supply, sewage systems, waste disposal, and toilets.

[p.56]
Before filling in the housing questionnaire, the enumerator shall find out details as follows and fill in the appropriate code. It includes:

If the respondent answered to live in a ger, circle the code "1" and move to questions 10, 11, or questionnaire for households living in a ger. If the respondent answered to live in a house or building, circle the code "2" and ask the next question (question 2) or questionnaire for families living in a house. If the enumerator filled codes "3" and "4" for non-purpose and others, move on question 12 or to be asked from all households.

For example, Gerel and Erdene's family live in a rented building built for office use. Gerel's family rented 3 rooms in this building. One room is used for running a grocery store. They live in the other 2 rooms. Fill in the code "3" or "non-purpose housing" and move to question 12. Erdene's family rented 2 rooms in an apartment basement. One room is used for shoe repair services. They live in the other room. Circle Erdene's housing type as "4" or "other" and move to question 12.

To be answered by households living in a house/building

Question two: What is the type of your house/building?
The main goal of the housing census is to collect detailed information about the conditions of individual housing in which the population lives. This is because information about this is the most important need for developing policies and programs for housing the population and evaluating its implementation. According to the type of building, it is classified as apartment building, comfortable independent apartment, separate apartment building, student dormitories, pupil dormitories, staff dormitories, and other public housing.

Apartment/condominium. This refers to a quarter within a fixed building used wholly or partly for residential purposes. At the time of the census, it is not used for purposes other than human habitation. It is built for household residence. Each household is supposed to have one or more rooms, complete equipment, and infrastructure. An apartment is equipped with all kinds of basic infrastructure. The following conditions are fully met as follows:

Convenient single family house. This house is intended for one household with the following.

Single family house. This refers to a quarter that consists of one or more rooms with a complete or partial infrastructure (kitchen, bathtub, shower, heating system, water supply, indoor toilet).

Student and pupil dormitories: Dormitories usually have common kitchens, toilets, showers, and meeting rooms. This refers to student dormitories of all levels of schools and other similar public accommodations.

Staff dormitories: This refers to staff dormitories of enterprises and organizations for single or shared occupancies.

Other public buildings. This includes other public quarters where citizens live in a mass or groups including resorts, spas, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, and military campuses.

Before filling in the question related to house/building types, the enumerator clarifies it and fills in the corresponding code in the questionnaire. House/building types include apartments/condominiums, convenient single family houses, single family houses, dormitories, and other public dwellings. If the enumerator circles the code "6" or "other public dwelling", move to question 12 to be asked from all households. For example, Orgil's family lives in a 2-room apartment in the residential building No.27 (suitable for 360 units), khoroolol 1. Munkhgerel is Orgil's sister. She lives in a convenient single 6-room house in Sharga Morit with her family. For Orgil's family, circle the code "1" or "Apartment/Condominium". For Munkhgerel's family, circle the code "2" or "Convenient single family house". Orgil's father lives in a ger district and owns a 3-room house connected to infrastructure. In this case, circle the code "3" or "Single family house".

[p.58]

Question three: How many rooms are there in your dwelling?
The term "Room" refers to a space located in a dwelling, separated by a wall, floor, and roof, with a total area of 4m2 and a height of at least 2 meters. In order, it is a space where at least an adult bed can be placed. Rooms include living, bed, kids, and office rooms, but do not include auxiliary rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, hallways, closets, storage rooms, and balconies.

One or several households may live in the dwelling. Questionnaires will be opened for each household living in the apartment. In this case, the number of rooms will be duplicated for the questionnaire. The main household is enumerated under code "1" in A9. Section Address. This household will be enumerated with the number of rooms (living, bed, kids, and office rooms) as a whole. However, for sharing households (filled the code "2") and non-household members (filled the code "3"), the enumerator fills only the number of rooms which these persons occupy in the apartment. In dormitories, persons are unrelated to each other and live in the same dwelling. In this case, for those enumerated in the same questionnaire, the number of their rooms will be filled as a whole.

The number of rooms shall be filled (as 01, 02, etc.) in the cells behind the question. For example, Bat's family lives in one room of a 3-room apartment. He rents one room for Tsetseg's family and another one for two students respectively. In this case, Bat's family will be the "main household". The number of rooms will be 03. Tsetseg's family will be the "sharing household" and the number of rooms will be 01. These two students will be the "non-household members" and the number of rooms will be 01 as well.

[A figure is omitted here]

Question four: What is the size of the total floor space?
The total floor space is the sum of the living areas /living, bed, kids, office, and dining rooms/ and auxiliary areas /kitchen, bathroom, toilet, hallway, closet, and store room/.
Example 1, please refer to the below layout which shows the areas such as the entrance, living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, clothing room, closet, and balcony. The size of the total floor space does not cover a balcony.

Total floor space = 1.8 ?2(entrance area) + 10.5 ?2(living room) + 6.7?2 (bedroom) + 1.6?2 (kitchen) + 5.4?2 (bathroom) + 1.4?2(clothing room) = 27.4 ?2.

[p.59]
[A figure is omitted here]

If the respondent does not know the total floor space, the enumerator may advise him to look at the dwelling owner's contract, and the state registration certificate of real estate ownership. If the respondent has bought a newly-constructed building, it will be the area that he is paying for. For self-built dwellings, the enumerator shall advise him to use an accurate method for measurement. For example, the owners measure the area themselves. If the respondent is unable to determine the size of the floor space in any way, please fill in "Don't know" or "999".

The total size of floor space is written in whole numbers. For example, if the size of the floor space is 55.3?2, write 055 in the questionnaire. If it is 119.7?2, write 120 in whole numbers. The area of the dwelling shall be filled in the square cells. One or several households may live in the dwelling. Questionnaires will be opened for each household in the apartment. In this case, the size of the total floor space will be duplicated for the questionnaire.

In this case, filling the A9. Section Address for sharing household (filled in the code "2") and non-household members (filled in the code "3"), the enumerator fills in only the size of the floor space which these persons occupy in the apartment. In dormitories, persons are unrelated to each other and live in the same dwelling. In this case, for those enumerated in the same questionnaire, the size of their occupied floor space will be filled as a whole.

For example, Bat's family has a 3-room apartment with 86 square meters. His family lives in one room of this apartment. Bat rents one room for Tsetseg's family and another one for two students respectively. In this case, Bat's family will be the "main household". The first room's area is 35 square meters. The second room's area or Tsetseg's family is 25 square meters. The third room's area for two students is 15 square meters. The additional or auxiliary area covers 10 square meters. In this case, the enumerator fills in the size of the total floor space equal to 85 square meters. It includes 35 square meters for their residing area, 10 square meters for the auxiliary area, 25 square meters for Tsetseg's room, and 15 square meters for the room area of two students. However, as a shared household, please only fill in the living area of Tsetseg's family equal to 25 square meters. As non-household members, please fill in the living area of two students equal to 15 square meters.

Question six: Is your kitchen/cooking area shared with others?
If the response to question 5 is "Yes" or there is a separate kitchen corner or section, further clarify whether it is for exclusive use or shared.
For example, Orgil's family has a separate kitchen. Munkhgerel is Orgil's sister. Her family has a kitchen corner in the living room. Orgil's father has a kitchen section separated by a wall fireplace from the living room. All kitchen utensils are placed in this kitchen area. They also prepare their meals there. In this case, all these households are considered to have a separate kitchen. As each household resides alone in their dwelling, please circle the code "1" or "exclusive use".

Question seven: Do you have a bath or shower in this dwelling?
It is important to collect data through the census to determine whether a shower or toilet is installed in each dwelling. This question specifies whether there is a shower or bathtub in each dwelling. If the response is "Yes" or "1", proceed to question 8. If there is no bath or shower, circle "No" or "2" and move to question 12.

Question eight: What is the type of this bathroom?
If there is a shower or bath in the dwelling, clarify whether the bath or shower is permanently installed or assembled/mobile in a separate room/section.

[A figure is omitted here]

Question eleven: How many walls does the main ger have?
At the time of the census, the number of ger walls (khana) shall be recorded in the cells, regardless of the number of wall tops. If the household has two gers, please record only the wall number of the main ger. The main ger refers to a ger where the household mainly lives in winter time or where most household members or household head live. The number of Tsaatan tent's walls will always be written as "05" in the cells of "Number of walls". For example, Bat lives with his wife and youngest son in a 6-wall ger, and his children live in a 5-wall ger. In this case, the number of ger walls is based on where the household head resides. So it shall be written as "06".
