Part III: Principles of Filling in Page 1 of the a Form

17. Type of occupied housing unit [p.26]
Within the scope of the A form, all the inhabited dwellings, mobile units, and provisional premises that is all the habitable units in which separate or collective households can be identified shall be specified.
Only one occupied housing unit, such as an individual dwelling, mobile unit, or provisional premises shall be registered in a single A form.
The type of the housing unit in question shall be specified after the inspection of all the rooms and habitable spaces located therein, as well as after juxtaposing the observations made by the census enumerator with the definitions provided below. Answer to this question is provided by means of circling the symbol corresponding to the given type of a housing unit. The 1 symbol shall be circled for a dwelling, 2 for a mobile unit, and 3 for all types of provisional premises. In the majority of cases, the census officer will encounter typical dwellings.
While registering a household located in a dwelling, the "description of dwelling" section shall be filled in. In the event of registering a mobile unit or provisional premises, only the type of the said housing unit shall be specified (preferably, by writing down such descriptive terms as railway carriage, caravan, barge, shack, shed, stable, attic, garage). In such a case, the rest of the A form shall be crossed out.

Dwelling
1. Dwelling is a housing unit incorporating one or more habitable spaces, as well as several auxiliary rooms (such as bathroom, hall, toilet, etc.), which has been built or modified to serve habitation-related purposes and constitutes an integral structural whole.
Structural integrity of a dwelling shall be understood as its visible separateness from all the other dwellings or habitable spaces located in a given building, as well as has a separate entrance connecting the dwelling with a hall, collective stairway, vestibule, or directly with the yard, garden, or street.
2. Separate housing units (incorporating one or more rooms) inhabited by other families or single individuals shall not be considered parts of the dwelling in question, even if the said individuals have been paying rent separately but there are collectively used habitable spaces used within the given dwelling.
Separate housing units shall not be considered parts of the dwelling in question even if other families or single individuals residing therein have installed separate kitchen appliances, but they all use the same bathroom or toilet.
If a given building, which has prior been an integral structural whole, has been permanently reconstructed in order to divide it into two or more dwellings which are not connected with one another in any way, then each of such dwellings shall be considered an integral whole and registered separately.
3. Single-family houses shall be treated as single dwellings. Nevertheless, if within such a hose there are two or more household and the sets of rooms inhabited by each of them complies with the integrality and separateness principles, they should be then treated as separate dwellings.
4. Certain difficulties with proper identification of housing units may be encountered in the dwellings located in rural areas, as they are typically inhabited by the representatives of more than one household.
In the case of old rural buildings which have been parts of former villages (or even smaller towns), it shall be assumed that if the habitable spaces inhabited by the representatives of a given household are not directly connected (by means of doors) with the habitable spaces inhabited by the second household , those households inhabit separate dwellings. Such principle is also applicable when the representatives of one of the households inhabit only one habitable space in the hose, but it is not connected with the rooms utilized on daily basis by the representatives of the second household.
If the habitable spaces inhabited by the representatives of a given household are directly connected (by means of doors) with the habitable spaces inhabited by the second household, those households inhabit a single dwelling.
5. In rural areas, there are sometimes cases that are exactly opposite to the ones specified in point 4, as one household (especially an agricultural one) inhabits two separate dwellings located in two separate houses which are in turn situated on the same land. While encountering such a habitation-related phenomenon, the census enumerator shall at first check, whether both the houses are inhabited all year long, not only during the summer season. If one of them (especially the older one) is inhabited during summer only, then it should be indicated in the C form.
However, if the representatives of a given household inhabit the said houses all year long, then:

If there is only the so-called provisional kitchen located in the second dwelling, it should not be indicated in any of the forms.
6. While performing the census-related undertakings, the census enumerator may encounter specific cases, where it would not be clear whether a given dwelling is inhabited by the representatives of separate households or a single, collective one. In some collective dwellings, certain habitable spaces are occupied by the personnel hired by the representatives of the said household, such as teachers working in children's house, nurses working in hospitals or sanatoriums, or help employed in holiday houses. Problems may especially arise, when the said habitable spaces are not separate structures, but rooms shared with other inhabitants of the collective dwelling (students, boarders, patients, etc.).
Habitable spaces occupied by the personnel shall be typically considered separate one-room dwellings, for which a separate A form shall be filled in. If a given member of the collective household, for example a teacher, lives therein with his or her family and occupies at least two of such rooms, then even if they are not directly connected with one another they should be registered in a single A form as a single, two-room dwelling.
In some sanatoriums, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities, there is the possibility of more than one member of the staff inhabiting such spaces (the discussed case concerns mainly nurses), as they tend to live collectively in the same room. If there are more than 20 individuals occupying such a habitable space, it should be assumed that they constitute a separate household (hostel type). Such a household should be registered using the Az form.
Unusual situations, translating into registration difficulties may arise also in standard houses, especially if:

Such dwellings, in which living conditions are similar to those characteristic for collective dwellings, shall not be considered as such. They shall be registered as standard dwellings and indicated by means of the A form.
7. In some areas, especially those located in a close proximity to large-size workshops and factories, there are instances of utilizing whole blocks of flats as hostels. The said objects are not additionally modified to serve as collective dwellings. The dwellings located in such block of flats are adjusted to be occupied by separate households and will be inhabited by families on standard basis afterwards.
Such hostels shall be registered in both parts of the N-obw form:

In the last part of the form, the following statements shall be made:

Such hostels indicated in the N-obw form must be also registered by means of A form (in opposition to all other types of collective dwellings, which are indicated in Az forms).
For a dwelling located in the building transformed into a hostel, a separate A form shall be filled in. In such a case, the following principles shall be complied with:

General rules of census performance shall be followed while providing answers to other questions on pages 2 and 3.

8. The specified rules shall be followed by the census enumerator even during the pre-census round, during which by means of the N-obw form the number of dwellings to be registered shall be specified.
In some cases, tenement dwellings might have been specified in the N-form (especially in multitenant houses). They might have been specified while registering single-family houses or buildings located in rural areas which factually consist of more than one dwelling, but only one habitable space has been identified. Similarly, in collective dwellings, the rooms occupied by personnel (discussed in point 6) might have not been specified. During the census, the census enumerator has to spot such inconsistencies and make amendments in N-obw forms, as well as present the documentation to the supervisor to be accepted. However, if some inconsistencies have been omitted, they should be corrected during the census round:

Mobile unit
9. Mobile units are units occupied by certain groups of people, especially due to the nature of their work or the followed lifestyle. Those are frequently barges, trailers, ships, or railway carriages).
10. If a given mobile unit is occupied by workers in connection with the nature of their work, for example by construction workers, they shall be considered to be the representatives of a collective household and registered in the Az form (utilized for registering collective households).
11. It should be taken into account, that mobile units are rarely indicated in N-obw forms. If, during the pre-census round or during the census proper, the census enumerator encounters such an object, it should be indicated in the A (Az) form, as well as included in the N-obw form.

Provisional premises
12. Provisional premises are the objects which are not suitable to serve as habitable spaces, but still serve as shelters for people, especially after certain unforeseeable events, such as natural disasters. Those are, among others: all types of utility rooms, provisional shacks, barns, trailers, and attics, as well as shops, storage areas, garages, etc.
13. Basements and attics serving as provisional premises shall not be confused with standard dwellings located in basements and attics. It should be remembered that typically basement are storage-oriented areas without windows and rather not properly decorated, without proper floors or roughcasts. Attics are frequently the rooms that are directly covered with the roof of the building.
In the case of some modern buildings, in the designing stage there are certain spaces designed to serve as basements, drying rooms, washing rooms, etc. They may be even adjusted to occupational standards (direct lighting, proper roughcast on the walls, flooring, and sanitary devices installed). The only difference in their case is the height, as they tend to be a bit shorter, approximately 2.2 m. Such rooms shall not be considered provisional premises but rather a part of the dwelling or a dwelling proper (depending on whether or not there are other rooms in the building). 14. It should be remembered that a given provisional premises may not have been indicated in the N-obw form. If, during the pre-census round or during the census proper, the census enumerator encounters such an object, it should be indicated in the A (Az) form, as well as included in the N-obw form.

18. Name and first name of lodger (user of dwelling) [p.32]
Description of Dwelling

19. Useful floor space (total) (Question I) [p.33]
1. Useful total floor space of a given dwelling is the sum of all the floor spaces of the rooms being part of the said object that is spaces of rooms, kitchen with window or without it, rooms not occupied or seasonally used, antechambers, bathrooms, toilets, pantry chambers, glazed verandas, as well as other rooms having different or similar names.
Floor space of porches and verandas shall be added to the useful floor space only if they have the form of enclosed spaces that is covered with walls from all sides (the walls may be partially glazed).
2. While specifying total floor space of the houses located in rural areas, there may be some difficulties with including the porch in the calculation process. In such a case, the following principles shall be taken into account:
a) Porch is not considered to be a useful part of the dwelling and is not added while calculating useful total floor space if:

b) If none of the following applies, the porch is considered to be a useful part of the dwelling and is added while calculating useful total floor space.
3. Useful total floor space of the dwelling incorporates also the areas that are covered by in-built chimneys, wardrobes, as well as all the niches and nooks in the dwelling.
4. While specifying the total floor space of the dwelling, the following should not be taken into account:

5. Useful total floor space of rooms built by modifying the initial structure of the roof shall be calculated as follows:

6. Data concerning useful total floor space of the dwelling may be taken from the auxiliary form filled in by the lodger (user of dwelling). During the census session, the census enumerator leaves such forms in all the visited dwellings for the inhabitants to provide the census office with additional pieces of information, among others, with the calculations concerning floor space. The said form incorporates tips and hints on how to calculate the value in question. The responsibility of the census enumerator is to familiarize himself or herself with those pieces of information.
Before transferring the said data from the auxiliary form to the main one, the census enumerator shall at first visit all the habitable spaces in the dwelling and check whether or not the measurements specified in the former are acceptable and plausible. If there are certain doubts about the validity of calculations or the lodger has not filled in the auxiliary form, the census enumerator shall ask for a document containing the said information to be presented to him or her. If such documentation is available, then the enumerator shall transfer data provided therein to the main form. If there is no accessible notification justifying the provided useful floor space, the enumerator shall ask the lodger to measure the space in all the rooms. If possible, the former shall help and support the user of dwelling in the performance of the said task. Data concerning total floor space shall be provided in full square meters after proper rounding off. Decimals from 1 to 4 shall be neglected and 5 to 9 considered to be full meters. For example, for values from 45.1 m2 to 45.4 m2, the 45 m2 value shall be provided and for 45.5 m2 to 45.9 m2 46 m2.

20 Number of rooms (Question II) [p. 35]
1. A room shall be understood as:a part of the dwelling which is additionally separated from other rooms with walls, having direct lighting, and characterized by the useful floor space no smaller than 4 meters squared.
Direct lighting shall be understood as a window or glazed doors located on the outer side of the building and therefore granting the view of the yard, street, garden, porch, etc.
If there is no direct lighting in the habitable space then, even if it has an internal window (skylight) connected with other rooms or the hall, such a space shall not be considered a room.
2. All the rooms in the dwelling must be registered, so both those occupied, partially used, and unoccupied ones. What is more, rooms used only for vocation-related purposes (consulting rooms, shoemaker's workshops, tailoring rooms) must be included in this category as well, if only they are located within the dwelling. However, if a given room, which is used strictly for the vocation-related purposes has a separate entrance from the hall, yard, or other freely accessible part of the room, then it shall not be considered a separate room, even it is a part of the dwelling. Such a space shall also not be included while calculating total floor space of the dwelling (see 19, point 4).
3. Habitable spaces shall be divided in the following manner:

Such spaces as multifunctional rooms (serving education, relaxation, food consumption, and rest-related purposes), bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, kids' rooms, as well as all the rooms used for vocational purposes (offices, workshops) and those utilized as accommodation for visitors and patients shall be indicated in point a.
In point b, kitchens with windows of the overall floor space of 4 m2 or more shall be indicated that is kitchens that may be qualified as typical rooms.
Kitchens without windows shall not fall into this category, even if their total floor space exceed 4 m2 , as well as kitchens with windows, the floor space of which is lower than 4 m2. The said spaces shall be indicated in point c.
One-room dwellings which also serve the role of kitchens should be classified in accordance with the opinion of the lodger. If the latter has some difficulties with classifying such a room, then it should be assumed that a habitable space equipped with a coal or gas-powered furnace (connected to the bottle or the network) shall be considered a kitchen and a space in which a small electric oven or moveable cooker is stored shall be classified as a room.
Point c other rooms has been implemented with other (furnished) habitable spaces that are not currently used for occupational purposes in mind. Such a specification concerns especially:

The latter are characteristic for rural areas but such cases may be encountered in towns and cities as well. If the lodgers not consider them to be proper rooms, then they should not be indicated while filling in the main form.
Rooms that are so devastated that they cannot be used anymore shall not be indicated (as well as their floor space shall not be calculated see: question 19, point 4).
Rooms that are taken advantage of to store food products shall not be mistaken with typical pantries which are built with storage of large quantities of food in mind and are larger, as well as have bigger windows. Typical pantries are not rooms and shall not be indicated in the form. Nevertheless, they shall be included while calculating the total useful floor space.
4. Such spaces as halls, bathrooms, toilets, verandas, porches, typical pantries, sheds and chambers are not rooms regardless of their floor space and type of lighting.

21. Space for kitchen not being room (Question III) [p.37]

22. General remarks concerning questions IV-X on facilities in the dwelling [p.37]
1. Both active facilities (installations) and currently inactive ones (due to various repairs, damages, etc.) shall be indicated.

2. If there is no tap with running water inside the dwelling, but such a device is located inside the building (for example, in the hall) and is used as such by the inhabitants of the building, it must be also specified whether the device is connected to the public water supply system or to the local system, and in accordance with the specified answer encircle symbol 3 or 4.
3. Public water supply system shall be understood as a set of pipes transferring water from the source to the separate buildings and the overall length of such pipe-based connections is equal to or longer than 250 m.
Not only municipal water supply systems shall be taken into account but also those provincial and house estate ones, as they may be exploited, for example, in the area of a housing estate. What is more, the census enumerator shall also check for workplace water supply systems which may be used, for example, by mines, railway associations, agricultural farms, water associations, military units, etc. Length is the only decisive feature here.
4. Local water supply system shall be understood as a system supplying water to one or more buildings located in a close vicinity where the length of pipes does not exceed 250 m. Local systems are sometimes called individual systems or, in rural areas agricultural ones.
Local systems may be owned by one or more lodgers, as well as may be managed by organized agricultural units, production associations, factories, etc.
5. In some mountain areas, there are gravitational water supply systems. If such a system is taken advantage of in order to provide running water to at least 5 buildings and the overall length of the installation exceeds 250 m, such a system may be considered a proper water supply one. In all other cases, it shall be classified as a local system.
6. If there is no water supply system within the dwelling and the inhabitants do not use the system installed inside the house, then the 0 symbol shall be encircled.
In some cases, the inhabitants of a given building may have access to running water, but in order to do so, it is necessary to leave the building. In such an instance, the 0 shall be encircled as well.

24. Flush toilet (Question V) [p.39]
1. Only toilets flushed with running water that is connected to the water supply system shall be indicated.
2. If, within the dwelling, there is a flush toilet installed then, basing on the hints and tips in points 4 and 5, the census enumerator shall specify whether wastewater is removed my means of public or local water treatment system, and in accordance with the specified answer encircle symbol 1 or 2.
3. If there is no flush toilet inside the dwelling, but such a device is located inside the building (for example, in the hall or basement) and is used as such by the inhabitants of the building, it must be also specified whether the device is connected to the public water treatment system or to the local system, and in accordance with the specified answer encircle symbol 3 or 4.
In some cases, the inhabitants of the building (all or some of them) have private flush toilet which are not located within the dwelling but in the same time inside the house. Even if such a system is utilized by the representatives of a single household only, it should be considered to be located within the building rather than within the dwelling.
4. Water treatment system shall be understood as an underground sewerage system utilized to transfer wastewater from the dwellings to a given destination, such as river, channel, lake, sea, upper layer of the ground), if only the overall length of the installation is equal to or exceeds 250 m. It may be a general water treatment system, as well as economic or natural waste treatment one. The latter as the name suggests is utilized to remove the surplus of natural wastewater but in some cases, dwellings or whole houses can be connected to it.
Water treatment system, such as water supply one, may be municipal, provincial or workplace-managed.
5. Local water treatment system shall be understood as a network connecting few neighboring buildings and transferring wastewater to a cesspit or to river, channel, lake, sea, upper layer of the ground, etc. The distance between the destination and the buildings does not exceed 250 m.
Local water treatment system, similarly to a local water supply one, may be owned by one or more lodgers, as well as may be managed by organized agricultural units.
6. If there is no water treatment system within the dwelling and the inhabitants do not use the system installed inside the house, then the 0 symbol shall be encircled.
In some cases, the inhabitants of a given building may have access to a flush toilet, but in order to do so, it is necessary to leave the building. In such an instance, the 0 shall be encircled as well.

25. Sink or washbasin (Question VI) [p.40]
1. While specifying the answer to this question, the census enumerator shall take advantage of the hints and tips provided in points 4 and 5 of question 24.
2. If, within the dwelling, there is a sink or washbasin installed as well as both the devices, making it possible to remove the surplus of wastewater, the census enumerator shall specify whether wastewater is removed my means of public or local water treatment system , and in accordance with the specified answer encircle symbol 1 or 2.
3. If there is no sink or washbasin inside the dwelling, but such devices are located inside the building (for example, in the hall) and is used as such by the inhabitants of the building, it must be also specified whether the device is connected to the public water treatment system or to the local system, and in accordance with the specified answer encircle symbol 3 or 4.
4. In some specific cases, the inhabitants use the sink, from which wastewater is transferred to a gutter (open sewer). Such cases shall be classified as using local system and depending on localization of the system inside or outside the house, symbol 2 or 4 shall be encircled.
5. If there is no water treatment system within the dwelling and the inhabitants do not use the system installed inside the house, then the 0 symbol shall be encircled.

26 Bathroom in dwelling (Question VII)
1. Bathroom is a special room in which bath or shower is installed, as well as the system of removing wastewater from the dwelling. According to the said definition, a room shall be also called bathroom if not all the required devices have been installed (there is no tub or shower present) or the said facilities have not been connected to the network, but there is an identifiable system of removing wastewater.
2. If there is a bathroom equipped with a tub or a shower in the dwelling and the said device is connected to the wastewater disposal network, then the 1 answer shall be indicated.
3. If there is a bathroom in the dwelling, but no tub or shower has been installed, then the 2 symbol shall be chosen.
4. If there is no bathroom in the dwelling, the 0 answer shall be indicated.

27. Hot water supplies (Question VIII) [p.41]
1. If there is a tap with hot running water in the dwelling and the water is heated outside the dwelling, so in the heat and power station or local heat station, then the 1 symbol shall be chosen.
2. If there is an electric stove, gas stove, or central heating boiler connected to the network in the dwelling, then the 2 symbol shall be chosen.
Heating water in the dwelling by means of a central heating stove (regardless of its placement) shall be considered as heating water within the dwelling and therefore the 2 symbol shall be indicated.
3. If there are no water supplies in the dwelling, as well as there are no professional devices installed aiming at heating the said liquid within the dwelling, then the 3 symbol shall be encircled.

28 Gas in dwelling (Question IX) [p.42]

The said answer shall not be chosen for dwellings which are supplied with gas from tourist bottles.
3. If there is no gas in dwelling, supplied neither from a public network nor from bottles, as well as there are no devices used for heating or boiling water, then the 0 symbol shall be encircled.

29 Heating (Question X) [p.42]
1. In the case of this question, as opposed to the ones above, there is no negative answer (no 0 symbol to be chosen), as every single dwelling requires heating in the winter season, especially due to severe weather conditions. Heating method must be specified for every single dwelling separately.
2. If the inhabitants use few methods of heating, then the dominant one shall be chosen that is the one covering the most of the dwelling with its effect or utilized for the majority of time. Auxiliary (supplementary) method of heating and the one not used frequently shall not be taken into account.
3. If thermal energy is supplied from power stations, heat and power stations, or from boiler for flat block in the case of a block of flat or other multifamily building, then the 1 symbol shall be chosen by the census enumerator.
4. If the dwelling is equipped with an individual central heating system radiators are the main sources of heat distribution and thermal energy is supplied from boiler in one-family house or boiler in storey houses, then the 2 symbol shall be chosen by the census enumerator.
5. If in the dwelling heat is distributed by means of heating by electric accumulators or tiled stoves equipped with electric heaters, as well as the lodger has concluded an agreement with a power supply plant for distribution of power to the dwelling or installed his or her own power consumption meters, then the 3 symbol shall be encircled.
Sporadic increasing temperature in the dwelling by means of electric heaters shall not be considered as distribution of heat by means of electric accumulators.
6. If other types of heating are utilized in the dwelling, then the 4 symbol shall be encircled by the census enumerator. The said answer mainly concerns the utilization of fixed stoves using such solid fuels as coal, coke, briquette, wood, sawdust, etc. The utilization of gas stoves shall also be considered in this case.

Part IV: Principles Concerning Filling in Pages 2 and 3 of the A Form

30 Individuals to be registered [p.44]
1. On pages 2 and 3 of the A form and in analogous rubrics of the Az form, the pieces of information concerning the individuals to be registered in a given dwelling, mobile unit, provisional premises, or collective dwelling must be provided.
2. Data provided shall be gathered as of midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978. Therefore, the factual state of affairs encountered by the census enumerator in a given dwelling, mobile unit, provisional premises, or collective dwelling is irrelevant. Only the occupation status as of midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 shall be taken into account. Therefore:

3. The following individuals living in a given dwelling (room) shall be registered:

4. The place of a permanent stay of a given individual shall be understood as a dwelling (room) in which he or she has been registered by the respective authorities for a permanent stay. Nevertheless, in some cases, formalities may be connected with a certain delay. Then, the factual state of registration shall be taken into account. For example, a newborn shall be considered a permanent inhabitant of the dwelling owned by his or her parents, even though the child has not been yet registered for a permanent stay. A newlywed shall be considered to be a permanent inhabitant of the dwelling owned by his or her partner, even though the formalities concerning registration have not been brought to an end.
5. In some specific cases, when a person staying in the dwelling:

Such an individual shall be registered as staying permanently in a given dwelling.
6. Individuals, who have moved house and live in a different dwelling even if such an event happened after midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 shall be registered in the new place of residence (unless they have been registered in the previous dwelling).
Census enumerator who has visited the previous place of residence of such individuals who has not managed to register the inhabitants before they moved house shall only inform his or her supervisor about the said fact. If possible, names, first names, name of the main lodger, as well as the estimated number of individuals who moved house shall be provided.
7. If, due to a renovation of the dwelling or the building, the inhabitants have been moved to some provisional dwellings, the individuals living in the said provisional objects shall be registered as living there permanently. No individuals shall be registered in a renovated house.
8. Foreigners taking advantage of immunities and privileges granted them by international acts or customs that is heads and foreign personnel of diplomatic organizations, consulates, as well as their families shall not be registered at all, even if they have been living permanently in the dwelling where the census is performed.
Census enumerators shall be informed about the dwellings, in which such foreigners have been living in order not to visit them during the census round.
9. Other foreigners and individuals without any citizenship residing in Poland shall be registered basing on the following principles:

10. Individuals staying temporarily in a given dwelling on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 shall be included in the census, regardless of whether or not they have been registered for a temporary stay.
Temporal inhabitants of a given dwelling shall be understood as those registered there for a temporal stay as of midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978, regardless of whether or not they have been staying in the place of registration. Such procedure concerns predominantly the individuals registered for a temporary stay for over 2 months. The said group mainly includes individuals living outside their place of origin due to work or education who are registered in hostels, dormitories, and facilities alike. It may happen that such individuals will be absent in their place of temporary occupation, spending the midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 somewhere else, for example, in their place of permanent occupation or visiting other places as a part of their holidays. Nevertheless, they shall be in such a case registered as if they were present in the place of temporary occupation.
11. While beginning the census related procedure in a given dwelling, the census enumerator shall check the number of individuals to be registered in accordance with the provided principles. He or she should, therefore, check the number of individuals registered for a permanent stay in the dwelling and then ask the inhabitants whether any of them has been registered for a temporary stay as of midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 (or stayed in the dwelling temporarily then without proper registration). Names and surnames of the registered individuals shall not be written down in the form immediately, as in accordance with the principles set forth in 37, page 53 it is at first necessary to specify the order of registration.

31 Notions of a household and a head of household [p.46]
1. Household. A household shall be understood as a number of related individuals who have been living or staying together in one dwelling.
It shall be noted, however, that even non-related individuals may be the members of a given household, providing that they live together and support the main lodger financially. Family members who live together but have separate sources of maintenance shall be understood as separate households. Single individuals create single-person households as well.
2. Head of household. A person who financially supports a given social unit in majority of cases or entirely shall be considered to be a head of household. If two members of a given household support it financially to an equal extent, the head of the household is the person, who is capable of managing the gathered funds.
Representatives of single-person households are in the same time heads of such households.
3. In order for the census to be executed properly in a given dwelling (mobile unit, provisional premises, or collective dwelling), it shall be specified whether the individuals registered for a permanent or a temporal stay in a given dwelling constitute a single or dew separate households. If the existence of two or more households has been identified, the representatives of each of such social unit shall be specified as well. In the same time, the census enumerator shall also specify who is head of each household.
The recommended registration order during the census is provided in question 37, page 53.
If there are more than one household in a given dwelling, the one to which the main lodger that is the person, whose name has been included on the first page of the main A form, belongs shall be registered as first.
4. In the case of collective dwellings, the classification of individuals into separate households shall not be performed, even if such connections occur. However, kinship between given individuals shall be indicated in accordance with the principles set forth in question 81, 108.
5. Some households may be represented by single individuals, who do not support a given household financially while in the same time not creating separate households. Those are:

Individuals falling in the above category shall be registered after the last person in a given household, with a proper annotation in question 7 (for example, "help" see: question 37 point 4 on page 53).

32 Name, first name and number of the person (Questions 1 and 2) [p.48]
1. If the total number of the representatives of a given household exceeds 6, then an additional A form shall be used to register the remaining number of them.
In the same time, the numeration of the auxiliary form shall be changed by replacing numbers 01, 02, 03, etc. with such numbers as 07, 08, 09 etc. If there are still more individuals, consecutive auxiliary forms shall be used during the census.
2. In the case of newborns without a name, they should have the "no name yet" annotation written down as the answer to question number 2.

33 Permanently living (whether or not a given person is present in dwelling at the census time) or temporarily staying (please encircle the relevant category) (Question 3) [p.48]
1. For every single representative of a given household, one of the three available options shall be encircled:

30 specifies who shall be considered to be "living permanently" or "temporarily staying". However, the notions of "present" and "not present" must be discussed separately.
2. The majority of the household are the individual living in a dwelling permanently and present at census time, so on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978, who are additionally not registered anywhere else for a temporary stay. In the case of such individuals the "Permanently living and present" option shall be chosen.
If given individuals living in a dwelling permanently were not present in it on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978, they shall not always be considered "not present" as it depends on the reason of the absence.
Almost all other individuals shall be registered twice, as in relation to them the following principles will apply:

3. However, in some cases it will be impossible to register certain individuals twice. If given individuals living in a dwelling permanently were not present in it on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978, they shall not always be considered "not present" as it depends on the reason of the absence.
Due to the fact, the "A. Permanently living and present" option shall be chosen for individuals who, on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978:

Generally, the above concerns the individuals who have not been registered in any other place in Poland and it is additionally impossible to register them at all. It is cause by the fact that the census will not be executed in hospitals, factories, companies, and units alike. There is also no need to register guests at parties, especially if the party lasted after midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978.
Basing on the census performance method, the "A. Permanently living and present" option shall be chosen for the individuals, who, on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978:

All other individuals living in a dwelling permanently but not present on midnight, between 6th and 7th December 1978 or registered somewhere else for a temporary stay shall have the "B. Permanently living but not present" option chosen. The same individuals shall have, in the place of their temporal stay, the "C. Temporarily living" option selected.

34 Please specify for person classified to the category B, or category C, cause of absence or of temporary staying [p.50]
1. The question concerns only the individuals, who have the "B. Permanently living but not present", or "C. Temporarily living" option selected in question 3. All the individuals, for whom the "A. Permanently living and present" option has been chosen shall have a straight line ("___") written down in question 4.
2. The reason of absence or temporary staying shall be specified by writing down such explanations as: "on holiday", "on leave", "visiting family", "in hospital" , "in sanatorium", "performing", "at a scientific conference", "taking part in a sports event", "on a business trip", "traineeship", etc. In such cases, no additional justification or explanation is needed. For example, the "on leave" and "on holiday" phrases may be used interchangeably.
3. Nevertheless, in the case of such answers as:

All have a specific meaning ascribed to them and shall be utilized only when a given person lives outside his or her place of permanent residence and:

4. In other cases, the reason of absence or temporary stay shall be specified in such a manner not to make the reason of a longer absence doubtful (especially if it lasts over 2 months - see question 35). Therefore, such terms as "caring for an ill father" (instead of "visiting father" or "visiting family") or "in a hospital serious illness" (instead of "in hospital") shall be utilized.
5. Another important issue for the census enumerators is to specify the number of individuals staying abroad, regardless of the reason of their absence. Such individuals (living permanently but not present) shall have the "staying abroad" annotation written down (for example: "staying in a workplace abroad", "working abroad", "studying abroad", "on a trip abroad", etc.). Maritime fishermen shall have "maritime fishing" or "professional angling" terms written down in this question.

35 For persons listed under category B and C please specify duration of absence or temporary staying (Question 5) [p.51]
1. Individuals, who have a reason or absence or temporary stay indicated in question 4 shall have an answer for this question specified as well.
2. The "1. Up to 2 months" or "2. Over 2 months" option shall be chosen, depending not only on the current duration of the absence or stay but also the overall planed duration of such stay or absence. In the case of longer stays or absences, any breaks connected with visits in the place of temporary residence shall not be taken into account. For example, if a student leaves the campus every Sunday in order to visit his or her family living in the place of permanent residence, it should not be concluded that the period of absence is equal to a week but it lasts "over 2 months". 3. If the absent or temporary staying person is registered by the authorities for a temporary stay lasting over 2 months (which requires a more complex procedure than the those required for a shorter stay), than the "2. Over 2 months" option shall be chosen without considering the details of such a state of affairs and even if it is certain that the said period will almost certainly be shorter.

36 Please write in the address of permanent living of persons temporarily staying (C) in the enumerated dwelling (Question 6) [p.52]
1. The question concerns only the individuals, for whom the "C. Temporarily living" option has been chosen in question 3. Other individuals shall have a straight line ("___") written down in this question.
2. In fields a and b, the address of permanent living (registration for permanent living) shall be provided by writing down the locality and street with the number of the house, or the number of the house alone if there are no streets in a given locality. For the rural areas, in field c, the name of the community shall also be provided. For other localities, a straight line ("___") shall be written down in this question. Foreigners shall provide the name of the country they have arrived from in field c.

37 Relation to the head of household (please write in respectively: head of household, wife or husband, son, daughter, grandson, father, etc.) (Question 7) [p.52]
1. For a person, who, in accordance with the rules set forth in 31, has been considered to be head of household, the "head of household" title shall be written down in question 7. The same title shall be written down for the individuals creating single-person households.
2. For all other representatives of a given household, the relation to the head of household shall be specified by writing in respectively: "husband" ("wife"), "son", "daughter", "stepson", "stepdaughter", "father", "mother-in-law", "brother", "grandson", "granddaughter", "aunt", or "distant relative" if there is no possibility of specifying the kinship. A person, who is not related to the head of household but is considered to be a member of the household due to the provided financial support, shall have the "not related to the head of household" answer written down, or, in abbreviation "n. related".
It must be taken account that such levels of relation to the head of household as "tenant", "subtenant", or "co-tenant" cannot be used while specifying the kinship. They are members of their respective household and should be considered "head of households" in the social units they are members of.
3. The principles of closest kinship shall apply while identifying relation to the head of household, so, in the first place such individuals as husband or wife, children or parents, etc. Individuals in a relationship having children who are not engaged shall be registered next to one another. However, if there has been a mistake, due to which it is impossible to keep the proper order, the annotation shall not be corrected, nor shall be a new form used. It is enough to justify the relation in a comprehensible manner (for example, "Janek's wife", "grandson, Czes?aw's son").
4. If there are certain individuals living in a dwelling but not supporting the household financially (such a case is discussed in question 31, point 5 on page 47), such individuals shall be classified with proper terms and titles, such as: "help", "apprentice", "agricultural worker", "student", "hired worker".
It should be remembered that the above concerns only single individuals. If a help lives in a given dwelling together with his or her child, then they create a separate household ("head of household" and "daughter" or "son"). Such individuals may be both permanent and temporal inhabitants (typically staying in a dwelling for over 2 months).
5. If in a given dwelling there are also other individuals staying there in a temporary manner, then they shall be registered as follows:

38 Sex (please encircle respectively: 1. M (male) or 2.? (female) (Question 8) [p.54]
For boys (men), the 1.M option shall be encircled and for girls (women) 2. ?.

39 Year of birth (four-digit number) (Question 9) [p.54]
Year of birth shall be provided in the form of a four-digit number.

40 Marriage status (write in: single, or married, widower, widow, divorced) (Question 10) [p.54]
1. In accordance with the pieces of information provided by the surveyed individual, write the following:

2. Only if the said individual has certain doubts and asks the census enumerator for help, shall the said professional clarify that the factual marriage status rather than the legal and formal one shall be provided. Therefore:

3. Small children
shall have "single" marriage status indicated.

41 Education attainment (for persons born in 1963 or earlier, one of the education categories listed in the footnote xxx should be written in) (Question 11) [p.55]
1. For all the individuals aged 15 and over, so born in 1963 or earlier, the highest level of education completed shall be specified. The surveyed individual shall be asked if he or she has obtained a document justifying graduation form a given school (graduation diploma, school completion diploma, certain number of classes completion diploma, etc.). While asking about the said diploma, the census enumerator shall not request it to be presented, unless the examined individual expresses the willingness to do so.
Night and part time schools shall be treated similarly to those typical ones. The case is similar with schools operating abroad. So-called "externs", who have taken an external school-leaving exam and passed it shall be also considered as graduates of such schools.
In general, courses shall not be taken into account while specifying education attainment. Only exception are those courses which are equivalents to obtaining a given education degree, for example:

In the interwar period, some schools offered so-called "courses" (for example: "Commercial Courses"). The course completion diplomas shall be considered to be equivalent to school diplomas.
2. While providing the answer to question 11, one of the terms provided at the bottom of page 2 of the A form shall be utilized, as they apply to the highest education level achieved.
"Higher education completed" shall be written down for the individuals being in possession of a university graduation diploma, regardless whether engineer or master of arts title has been achieved by the said individuals. Both second and first level diplomas fall into this category, as for example engineer or economy specialist diplomas.
"Higher education not completed after general education" or "Higher education not completed after vocational education" shall be written down for the individuals, who have been attending a university and successfully completed at least 2 years of education (four semesters), but have not completed the said school yet. Moreover, the individuals with high school "certificate of completion" also fall into this category. The title shall be based on the previously completed high school general or vocational one.
The said category does not concern individuals, who have started studying after graduating from post-secondary schools and those who have started tertiary education but have not managed to complete it. Such individuals fall into the "Post-secondary completed" category (see below). Individuals, who have started their tertiary education but have not completed two years of it, shall have the "Secondary education completed" annotation written down.
"Post-secondary completed" concerns individuals who have graduated from a post-secondary school, for the attendance to which the school-leaving exam was needed up to 1972 and afterwards completion of a high school. Names of such schools might have changed throughout the consecutive years (however, no "upper" constituent has been used). Similar approach was used for both vocational and general study centers, for example "Study center for teachers". Those are also post-secondary schools and shall not be referred to as universities or tertiary education units.
The "Post-secondary completed" annotation shall be also written down for the individuals, who after graduating from such a unit have started tertiary education but have not managed to complete it, regardless of the number of finished semesters.
"Secondary education completed" shall be written down for all the individuals who have managed to graduate from a high school (general or vocational one), regardless whether they have been awarded with a school-leaving diploma or a technician degree.
"Secondary education not completed" shall be written down for the individuals, who have attended a high school after graduating from a primary school, and successfully completed at least two years of education there. The individuals who graduated from 4-year gymnasiums which operated in the thirties and shortly after the war, shall also fall into this category.
The said category does not include the individuals, who started secondary education after completing a basic vocational education. Those individuals (with no high school education completed, regardless of the number of successfully completed years) shall have the "Basic vocational completed" annotation written down (see below). The individuals , who have not completed two years of education in a high school and entered it after finishing a primary school shall have the "Primary education completed" annotation written down.
"Basic vocational completed" shall be indicated for the individuals who have graduated from 2- or 3-year basic vocational school (basic agricultural school, basic vocational school, masters' school, industrial school, vocational gymnasium, etc.), as well as for the individuals who have attended a high school but have not completed it.
"Primary education completed" shall be indicated for the individuals who have been awarded with a primary school completion diploma, common school completion diploma (before the war), and vocational courses completion diplomas.
Finishing primary education is equal to successfully completing the last year of education in such a unit, regardless of how many years of education there have been, as primary schools have been 7-, 8- ,and even in the past 4-year ones.
"Primary education not completed" shall be indicated for the individuals who have been studying in a primary school, as well as for those, who have not completed primary education, regardless of the number of years of education finished.
For the individuals who have never attended any school (or have done so, but have not managed to finish even the first year of a primary school), shall have one of the following ascribed:

Person who is capable of reading a newspaper shall be considered as those able to read. An individual who is capable of writing a letter (even without complying with grammatical rules) shall be considered as able to write. It shall be assumed that a person who can write can read as well (self-education). The ability of writing and reading may be in any language (reading and writing in Polish is not compulsory).
Individuals up to 15, so born between 1964-1978, shall have a straight line ("___") written down as an answer to question 11.

42 Direction in education (please write in: general education, or specialization in mechanics, textile industry, construction, or in agriculture, economics, etc.) (Question 12) [p.57]
All the individuals who completed education from tertiary to primary shall have in question 12 direction in education provided, in accordance with the school profile specified in question 11.
The following concerns the individuals for which the following has been indicated:

In the case of question 12, the direction in education in the given school must also be specified, even if the said school has not been completed. For example, in the case of higher education not completed (high school or post-secondary school completed), the direction in education shall concern the one in the not completed university, not in the completed secondary or post-secondary unit.
Below, the methods of specifying the direction in education are provided:

As it can be easily noticed, the name of the direction in education is in many cases, especially in vocational and high schools strictly connected with the very name of the educational unit in question (for example, "Basic Construction-related Vocational School", "Technical School of Chemistry"). In the case of individuals with higher education (both completed and not completed), the provided name shall be strictly connected with the faculty, for example:

While providing the name, both the adjectival form ("mechanical") and the noun-based one ("veterinary") may be utilized.
In the case of individuals that have attended a high school (and that completed or not completed it), the name of the direction in education shall be specified as "general".
Vocation-related specialization obtained by attending courses that are not connected with proper education shall not be included while answering this question, even if the specialization in question is in line with the already performed job or with the education attainment.
For all the remaining individuals, so those classified as attending primary schools (both those who have completed and not completed them), as well as those who have not attended any school, a straight line ("___") shall be indicated as the answer for this question.

43 School attendance (please circle relevant) (Question 13) [p.59]
For the individuals who already attend a school (in a full-time, part-time, or by taking advantage of night schools), the "1. Yes" answer shall be encircled. If it is it otherwise, the "0. No" answer shall be encircled for such surveyed individuals. The same answer shall be provided for all the children below 7, who have not yet been attending primary schools.
44 Is he (she) , for the reason of his (her) disability or disease, wholly or to a high degree limited in main activities relevant to his (her) age (professional activities, studies, household keeping, etc. ; in the case of small children: playing games, etc.) ? (Question 14) [p.59]
The necessity to gather such pieces of information is caused by the willingness of the government to adjust the social policy of the country to the needs of its inhabitants. Therefore, the question concerns disabilities or diseases which may wholly or to a high degree limit the possibility to perform the main activities relevant to the respondent's age (professional activities, studies, household keeping, etc. ; in the case of small children: playing games, etc.). The aforementioned shall not be equaled with disability (understood in legal terms), which is predominantly based on justification that the given individual is a holder of a proper notification issued by the Employment Agency (KIZ) and specifying a given disability level. This question is mainly focused on the factual condition of the said individual.
Therefore, the question shall also concern the individuals who are not disabled in legal terms- both children and adults (especially private agricultural holding owners), who have not received the notification specified above. What is more, a person disabled in the legal sense may consider himself or herself to be wholly capable of performing the activities relevant to his or her age. For example, a given person, being an accountant may be able to perform his or her most basic vocation-related activities, even though certain body damages make him or her a disabled person in the legal sense. Unemployed individual may, for example, find it undemanding to manage the household, etc.
Gathering data for Question 14 shall be made easier for the census enumerator thanks to the pre-census round and especially the content of the "Appeal to the people" given to the individuals during the said round. The surveyed individuals would, therefore, have been at least partially prepared for the necessity to answer such a question. The main responsibility of the enumerator is to clarify certain discrepancies that may occur in certain cases. To make it easier for the aforementioned expert, in point 3 of this section, there are basic regulation and criteria provided, facilitating answering the question concerning whole or notable limitation in the possibility to perform main tasks relevant for the individual's age. However, it shall be taken into account that the provided recommendations may not solve all the encountered problems and that in some cases a subjective assessment will be needed.
Due to the fact that asking this question may be considered problematic and disturbing for the surveyed individuals, it is highly recommended to ask all the household members the question, but in an altered form, buy prior asking them to listen carefully:
"Are here any individuals, who, for the reason of their disability or disease, are wholly or to a high degree limited in main activities relevant to their age that is they cannot properly execute their basic vocation-related chores, manage their household, engage in entertainment-related undertakings or care for themselves, especially in an older age?"
If such people have been identified, then the proper task performance limitation level shall be encircled ("1. Yes, wholly", or "2. Yes, to a high degree"). For the remaining individuals, the "0. Not" answer shall be indicated and the question shall not be asked ever again.
There are two main levels of task performance limitation identifiable within the scope of the form:

In both cases, only chronic cases caused by a specific disability or disease shall be taken into account (those lasting for longer than 6 months). All the identifiable pregnancy stages shall not be taken into account.

Main tasks relevant for the given age shall be understood as:
a) For children in the pre-school age (0-6 year old) ability to fully engage in all forms of entertainment and games, and in the case of the youngest children (those around 1 year old) ability to properly reply to both internal and external stimuli (crying, smiling, performing proper gestures, etc.)
Whole limitation the said limitation level shall be indicated for severely disabled individual and for those with nervous system significantly damaged. Limitation to a high degree if the general health condition makes it impossible for the said individual to perform the abovementioned tasks.
b) Children in the school and pre-reproduction age (7-17 year old) attending school in a normal manner and ability to take active part in all the lessons (excluding PE).
Whole limitation the said level shall be indicated if the given individual is unable to attend any school, even a special one.
Limitation to a high degree if the said individual attends special school (or class), special education facility (for example, for bling or mentally disabled children), as well as if he or she attends a traditional school, but due to acute disability or disease - he or she is unable to fully engage in the organized non-sport activities.
Note: In the case of some children with certain task performance limitations, especially in the case of those provided for by parents working in socialized agricultural companies, there is the 500 PLN family allowance provided. Such children shall be considered to be limited (wholly or to a high degree).
c) Individuals in the production age (men 18-64 year old, women 18-59 year old) professional work, managing the household by women (especially those above 25), attending a high school or a university.
Whole limitation such inability shall be indicated if the said person is completely unable to perform the activities mentioned before or had to stop them due to the disability and now cannot return to performing the aforementioned tasks.
Limitation to a high degree shall be understood as ability to perform certain basic tasks at the workplace that have always been executed as the part of the job, as well as capability to partially manage the household. This answer shall be also indicated if the surveyed individual has had to limit the time of performing the said activities (working part-time or having to take a leave), completely stop their performance by changing the scope of responsibilities (for example, by changing the workplace, changing a school for a special one, abandoning certain house chores, etc.), or take advantage of special tools and equipment making the execution of the said tasks notably easier.
d) Individuals in the post-production age (men 65 year old and more, women 60 year old and more) ability to care about oneself by, for example, preparing basic meals, making shopping, cleaning the premises, taking a bath.
Whole limitation shall be indicated for the individuals who, due to a severe illness or disability, had to abandon the performance of the abovementioned tasks or have to be constantly supervised by other individuals in order to make it possible for them to do so.
Limitation to a high degree concerns the individuals who must be supervised or supported while executing certain of the abovementioned tasks, as well as those who had to abandon the performance of only some of the tasks enumerated above.

45 Is he (she) recognized by the KIZ (a body consisting of physicians) as disabled person? (Question 15) [p.62]
As an answer to the question, one of the following shall be encircled:

A legally disabled person is the one, for whom the notification has been issued by the representatives of the KIZ. The said notification must clearly indicate at least one disability group to be considered valid.
The basic intention of the census is to consider the answers provided to question 15 to be treated as supplementary to the answers to question 14, rather than the other way round. The answer to this question shall be encircled after prior gathering of relevant data concerning the task performance limitations (as mentioned before, lack of legally indicated disability may not be equivalent to lack of any limitations, as well as the issuing of the notification may not be equal to inability to perform any relevant tasks).
In fact, even in the case of question 1, the census enumerator will come across certain statements directly indicating the disability group of a given individual (for example, "Yes, I have the second disability group). In such a case, the provided pieces of information shall be included in the answer to question 15, but in the same time not treated as proper answers to question 14.

46 General rules concerning answers to the questions on sources of maintenance [p.63]
1. Questions from 16 to 24 have been designed in such a way to make it possible for the surveyed individuals to provide data concerning their source of maintenance. Every individual has at least one, so every respondent shall have answers to questions 16-24 indicated.
There are three basic sources of maintenance:

2. The following shall be considered to have a maintenance from work:

For every employed person, his or her job is in the same time his or her source of maintenance.
Receiving a payment from work may not equal being employed at the moment. Therefore, the said answer shall be also indicated for the individuals, who have not worked at the moment of the census, but only if:

Note: The above mentioned are not sufficient if they concern working and especially supporting a family member in the agricultural holding. Detailed recommendations relating to proper classification of such individuals are provided in question 59, point on page 89.
"The maintenance from work" option shall not be chosen for the individuals, who:

Individuals, who have only one source of maintenance shall have answers for questions 17-20 provided, concerning main employment.
Individuals who have more than one source of maintenance (for example, they work as conductors and also support the family members in execution of the house chores, or work in a hospital and also make arrangements with patients at home) shall have a main employment identified (basic one), for which questions 17-20 will be answered, as well as second employment (auxiliary), for which questions 21-22 shall be answered.
Main employment is the one that is permanent. If two jobs are permanent, then the one that takes more time shall be indicated as main employment.
If the surveyed individual has more than two sources of maintenance, only two most important ones shall be taken into account (especially, those taking most time).
The "maintenance not from work" shall be indicated for the individuals, who receive pension, allowance (for example disability or family one), scholarships, or are patients in healthcare facilities. Maintenance not from work shall be specified by answering questions 23 and 24 (for more detailed recommendations see: 56 on page 79).
If the individuals who receive maintenance not from work also have a typical source of maintenance, the later shall be identified by means of answering questions 17-20, and the former by indicating proper answers in questions 23 and 24. What is more, in question 16, the main source of maintenance (from or not from work) shall be specified (see: question 47 on page 66)
Being maintained are those, who are supported by relatives or family members having their own source of maintenance, as well as those who receive money from other sources, while in the same time not working by themselves. (If they do work, then the main source of maintenance shall be specified and the fact of being supported by others shall not at all be taken into account see 47 point 4 on page 66).
Being maintained are also those surveyed individuals who have stated that they are supported by their relatives or people they are not related to, while in the same having a source of maintenance not from work (for example, a scholarship see 47 point 5 on page 66).
Prisoners sentenced for life shall also be included in this category. In their case, the organization providing for them shall be considered their supporter.
For individuals who are supported by other and also do not work, the name of the supporter shall be provided in question 16. Further details depend on the fact whether the supporter and the person being supported are included in the same A (Az) form or not (see 47 point 6 on page 67).
There are certain categories of surveyed individuals who shall be registered basing on different recommendations. Therefore:

47 Main source of maintenance (Question 16) [p.66]
1. In question 16, for every single registered individual, the main source of maintenance shall be specified and afterwards one of the possible answers shall be encircled.
Regardless of the specified source of maintenance, the census officer shall also ask about additional sources of income.
2. If, after a proper interview, it turns out that the individual has only one source of maintenance of a given type that is:

3. Nevertheless, if the given person has more than one source of maintenance, for example:

The main source of maintenance shall be specified on the basis of the information provided by the registered individual.
4. A person having maintenance from work may seem that the obtained incomes are negligible as they are not sufficient to provide for the entire family and he or she is therefore supported by other members of the family. In the case of occurrence of both maintenance from work and family support, only the maintenance from work shall be considered as main source of income, and the fact of being supported shall be neglected.
5. It must also be remembered that a scholarship may not always be the main source of maintenance of an individual especially for minors, who may be supported by other members of the family. In such a case, answer C shall be encircled in question 16. What is more, information about receiving scholarship shall be indicated in questions 23 and 24.
6. The supporter is the person who provides a given individual with the majority of resources necessary to survive. If two people, for example parents, provide for a given person, then the main supporter shall be specified.
In the case of encircling the "C. Number of breadwinner" answer, the supporter shall be indicated in the following manner:

48 Definition of a workplace [p.67]
1. Within the scope of this guidebook, a workplace is, for example:

The following shall be also considered workplaces:

Agricultural holding is also a workplace basing on the regulations set forth in this guidebook. (The holding may be managed in both individual manner or collectively by certain associations or organizations who may mutually take advantage of machinery or share certain responsibilities, as in the case of communal or municipal holdings.)
.2 In the case of manufacturers working at home, the company, for which the goods are produced shall be considered the employing party.
3. If a given workplace is a part of a whole complex of employment-related facilities, then the proper workplace shall be the one, in which the registered individual factually works. Therefore, such companies as "Countrymen Self-Help" shall not be included in their entirety, as the aforementioned operates in various branches, such as managing retail shops, purchase points, bakeries, and butcheries. In such a case, the exact bakery, butchery, purchase point, or retail shop shall be considered to be the person's workplace rather than the whole "Countrymen Self-Help" company. In the Automotive Company, the individual may work in the Chassis Production Section, in Division no. 7 (casting facility), etc.

49 Information concerning employment included in the auxiliary form [p.68]
1. During the pre-census round, the census enumerator equipped all the registered individuals with auxiliary forms. Individuals working in communal companies and workplaces have been asked to fill them in.
"Information on employment" included at the back of the auxiliary form shall be utilized to fill in the A form while writing down information on employment: name and address of the workplace, position, and nature of employment.
It must be remembered, however, that the said pieces of information are provided by the registered individuals themselves. They may not be able to fill in the auxiliary form properly (or may even left it completely blank). Any misunderstandings and problems shall be solved by following the instructions included in this guidebook.
2. Individuals working in governmental and administrative agencies do not need to fill in the "Information on employment" in the auxiliary form provided. They shall be registered basing on the recommendations specified in 55 on page 79.

50 Address of working site (e.g. of building site and not that of headquarter or enterprise) (Question 17) [p.69]
1. The answer to this question shall be provided by almost all individuals that have a main source of maintenance.
Nevertheless, for some surveyed individuals the said pieces of information are not gathered. They are, for example:

For all the above mentioned individuals a straight line ("___") shall be written down in question 17.

One B form shall be used to register a single person. It will be filled in for all the people living in a given dwelling (room) and for all the households. See - question 11 on page 18).
2. The said form will be processed by means of modern data processing technique and due to the fact the enumerator must exercise care to fill in the form properly, as well as to comply with the following recommendations:

Due to the advanced technologies making it possible to deliver birth in hospitals on properly prepared wards, the data concerning place of birth provided in the documentation is not in line with the factual state of affairs. The latter concerns mainly individuals from towns and rural areas, who were born in big cities due to the necessity of medical treatment of the mother beforehand or afterwards.
This question shall be therefore understood as the question about the place of stay of the mother while giving birth to the child.
