Under this ordinance the enumerators have been authorized to collect characteristics pertaining to Population Census from all persons in their area of work and are not authorized to disclose such information other than to officers concerned, the Population Census Officers. The enumerators will be held liable to punishment if they commit irregularity.

It also is the legal responsibility of the public, under this ordinance, that they give accurate answers to the questions asked by the enumerator and cooperate with the enumerator.

1.2 Terminologies of Population Census and their explanation

1.2.1 Block

All of Pakistan has been delimited into blocks for carrying out Population Census work. Efforts have been made that every block comprises equal population, so that every enumerator has equal quantum of work. The census block will generally consist of 200-300 households or fifteen hundred persons, except a few areas where the population can also be more or less.

The rural areas are known as mauza/deh or village. In rural areas where settlement has been done the system of Revenue Estate has been established which in Sind is called Deh and in Punjab, NWFP and Balochistan is called mauza. There may be more than one agglomeration which has its own names. In Sind these are called "Goth" and in other provinces these are called village, dera, dhoke, banda, killy, etc. Therefore, in these areas villages, etc. will be part of mauza/deh. In settled areas the block will be mauza/deh or equal to its part. Any mauza, no matter how small in population size, will be treated as a separate block. A mauza/deh or a part of it part may form a block. In other words, it will never happen that one block consists of more than one mauza/deh.

1.2.2 Building

A building is a structure that has its own unique nature and which has its own outer walls and roof. It can comprise one or more rooms and there should be at least one door for entrance from outside. Generally a building will look like a separate structure from the outside.

Tents, cottages, caves and other temporary places used for residential purpose, although do not come under the definition of a building, will be treated as building for population and housing census.

A building can be a bungalow, house residential plaza, Government or Industrial office. Factory, Mill, Godown, Hospital Jail, Mosque, Church, Temple, Shrine Cottage, Hut, etc.

If more than one buildings is located near one another and are being used by one household, then all these buildings will be treated as one building for the purpose of population and housing census: e.g., if some households live near each other but in separate houses roof tops, rooms, shelters, cottage, etc. - whether there are compound walls or not - then all such place will be considered one building.

A building can comprise the following parts:

A housing unit is a residential place with a separate building structure and is a separate housing unit. There could be one or more than one housing units in a building. Housing unit and house are the same by definition in population and housing census.

Housing units can be two types

A house is a housing unit in which a household is residing and, if vacant, then it has been constructed for residence of a household. Non-residential buildings or place which are being used by a household for residence are also treated as house; i.e., cottage, hut, shelter, tent, cone shop, etc.

1.2.5 Collective residence

Collective residence means housing unit which has been constructed for collective residence in connection with semi-government or trading purpose: e.g., hotel, hostel, residential barracks of the Armed or semi-Armed forces, residential camps, jail, sanitarium, mental hospital, disabled, poor, orphans, paupers and special institutions for residences of other such people.

The houses located in hospitals, educational/industrial institutions will not be treated as collective residences but will be considered as separate houses.

1.2.6 Household and its members

Households consisting of more than one person living together under common cooking arrangements (i.e., they use one burner for cooking). However if a person lives alone, he shall also be considered a household. These persons are generally relatives but these could also be friends, servants of the household and other non relatives residing in them. In such a case if the members of household do not eat at the place where they live, then they will be counted at the place where they live rather than at a place where they take their meals.

House and house holds are different by definition as mentioned above but generally these are used interchangeably.

1.2.7 Difference between House and Household

A house is the place a household uses for its residence, while a household represents the persons living there. In other words, the house is the physical place and the household represents the people living there.

1.2 Survey of Population Census block

1.2.1 Introduction of block

You have to know the boundaries of your block and its roads, streets, areas and important places located in it and all residential/non residential buildings during the housing Census. However, if changes have occurred on a block for the purpose of Population Census then it has to be checked again so that no area in it and household living in it may be left uncounted.

1.2.2 Numbering of un-numbered residential buildings

[Omitted information on un-numbered buildings]

1.2.3. Residential building which are likely to be left

[Omitted information on unoccupied residences]

1.3 Instructions before filling up the Population Census Form

1.3.1 Population Census date

Population Census will be carried out between the period of the 1st of March to the 15th of March, 1981 starting the morning of 1st March, 1981 (i.e., dawn will be treated as Census day and all the persons and their characteristics will be collected with reference to this day)

1.3.2 Who will be enumerated?

All the people who are residing in the boundaries of Pakistan on the Census Day (i.e., the dawn of 1st March, 1981) will be enumerated. These include all types of persons (i.e., infants or babies, adults or old, males or females, landlords or tenants, Pakistanis or foreigners). The staff members of diplomats and their families are exempted.

Since the population and its characteristics will be collected with reference to the census date, all such persons who are alive on the dawn of the date but died afterward will come in counting. However, the babies born after the dawn of 1st March, 1981 will not be counted. You should ensure that all the persons on Census Day are counted and nobody is left uncounted.

1.3.3. Who will be counted?

Every person will be counted within the household (i.e., at the house where the household is inhabited). Since the population census is being done in two ways (i.e., counting of persons at their residences and enumeration of persons wherever they are found). Therefore such persons who are residing in a different household will also be enumerated with that household. If somebody has more than one house then he will be counted at that house where be usually spend the night. The ways of counting different persons is explained as below:

Nature of Persons and where they will be enumerated:

1 Members of household who are found present in their house on Population Census day

2. Members of households who are temporarily absent from their house on Population Census Day

3. Visitors/guest, relatives or non-relative whose own house is located somewhere else

1.3.1. Collection of information from respondents (interview)

Publicity campaign has been started which will facilitate the population census work but actually it depends on the fact that how you collect the information? In this connection you should keep these guiding principles in view.

No single way can be proper for obtaining information in all the situations. You have to adopt proper way according to the situation you do this work with contentment and in good manners. Besides, it should be done sensibly with tolerance. By greeting respondent with respect he can be induced for cooperation but it should remain short. You may address the respondent with compliments and introduce yourself as I am ___________, and the Government of Pakistan has deputed me for carrying out population census in this area. You are requested to answer the questions of Population Census forms for which I will be grateful to you. If you feel that the respondent is showing indifference and not willing to cooperate. Then shed some light on the importance of Population Census and tell him that all the information will be kept confidential. It is expected that you will be able to get cooperation from the respondent by doing this. As it will not be possible to contact every member of the household therefore you should meet with the head of household or some other responsible person who can give information about all the members of the household so that this information can be entered in the Population Census form.

You should not get the information from children or neighbors; however, you can only do this when there is no other way. You should ask for information from the respondent in front of people other than family members and tell him that the answers of Population census forms shall be kept confidential therefore if respondent and other members of this dwelling unit give these replies in isolation it will be better.

You should ask questions in the way as have been written on this form. If you feel that the respondent is answering then read the question again, listen the information carefully before entering it and it should be ensured that this information is correct the respondent may be thanked for his cooperation after getting the required information.

You can come across such people who do not want to answer some or all questions, it can be avoided with your good manners and understanding, you should assure such people that this information will absolutely be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone. This information will be compiled on aggregated. Efforts should be to induce such persons according to the situation.

Population Census form is being provided in "Urdu" and "Sindhi" languages. If the respondent does not understand either of these languages even then you should not face any difficulty in making him understand these questions in these languages. But it should be taken care of that while translating the questions into respondent's language the meanings of questions should not change.

1.4. Use of Codes

The use of codes is an easy way of entering information. Coding is a means of entering answers of questions in digits. You have experimented with this method during housing Census. In Population Census the answer of most of the questions will be entered in codes. These codes will be given in English digits.

1.5 Use of House Listing Registers and then completion

As you know that during Housing Census the following types of buildings were numbered.

During Housing Census the households residing in these buildings were also entered in the house listing registers. These registers will be returned to you along with Population Census registers.

All the households of the block for which you were made responsible during the housing Census had been entered in the house listing registers and serial numbers had been given to them. Now you will carry out Population Census of these households. Even then you should check whether all the buildings and households of your block have been entered or not. Now, about three months have passed since completion of the housing census. During this several changes might have occurred: e.g., under construction buildings can be completed. There is possibility of conversion of any building of housing census into several households. Resultantly several new household can come into existence. Buildings can demolish, vacant house can be occupied an inhabited house can be vacated.

1.5.1 Date of completion of Census forms

Column number 7 of Register I-A and Column number 8 of Register I-B.

This column has been kept to record the date of entering the household concerned in Population Census. It can be known through this column whether all the households of any block have been entered or not. You will start your work from household number 00l and entries will be made according to the serial numbers entered in the house listing registers. If it is not possible to enumerate any household in the first attempt then you will visit that place again for enumeration of that household.

1.5.2 Entry in case of changes in House Listing Register

Column number 8 of Register 1-A and column number 9 of Register I-B (Changes in house listing)

1. A cross "X" for vacant building and zero "0" for under construction house was written in the house listing registers. If changes have occurred at the time of Population Census in status of such a house then apply the following instructions. If some vacant or under construction house has been occupied then you should write the name of the head of the household at the end of column 3 of the register I-A and column number 5 of the register 1-B, also give the serial number to this household. This serial number will be the next number to the last serial number of the households entered in column number 4 of the house listing registers

2. If a household present during the housing census has gone somewhere and some new household has occupied this house then write name of the new household will be that which was given to the household which residing previously

3. If a household present during housing census has left the house and gone some where else and the house is vacant. Then at the time of Population Census put a cross "X" in this column. The Population Census form will not be filled for such households.

4. There could be two situations for such temporary residences: e.g., tents, cottages, etc., which were counted at the time of housing census but these are not found now.

In the first situation, you should try to locate it in this block and enumerate it according to the serial number already given to it. For the second situation: i.e., where about of this house hold is not known in other words the household has gone somewhere else then a cross "X" will be entered in this column and population census form will not be filled for such households.

5. You can come across such building which was numbered during the housing census but it has now been demolished and the household residing in it has shifted to some other place in the same block or some where else. If the household has shifted to some other place in the same block then enumeration will done according to the serial number given previously. In other situation enter cross "X" in this column and population census form will not be filled for such household.

6. It is possible that some household has been left uncounted in a numbered building or some new household has also come in building or a house hold has been divided into many households. In such a situation this new household will also be entered at the end of house listing registers. The serial number of this household will be the next number to the serial number of last household number in column number 4 of the house listing registers. However, the building's number will remain the same that has been marked earlier. Enter other characteristics of such household in the relevant columns.

7. If a number has been put on some left-over building or newly constructed building or semi residential building during population census, then you will enumerate all the households of this building, will give them a serial number, and this number will be the next to last number of household entered in the house listing registers. Enter other characteristics of this household in the relevant columns.

This could only be possible if these characteristics are collected through the specially trained enumerators under strict supervision. The short questionnaire is form number 3 and the long questionnaire form number 4.

You will ask every woman whose number of children has been entered in question 2.4.20. It will be asked: "By the grace of God, how many children out of the given number are still alive?" Enter the number given in the answer in this column.
