[Questions 1-9.]
6. Ethnicity:
[] Other (specify name) ____ _ _
Question 6
Ethnicity Only citizens of Mongolia should answer this question. Those with foreign citizenship and non-relationship should not respond to this question. On the basis of respondent's answer, the enumerator should record the ethnicity of that person. The ethnicity of children will be defined by their parents. If they cannot define the ethnicity, then the ethnicity of children will be recorded as the mother's. Code 01 is for category "Khalkh" so this will be circled for "Khalkh" ethnicity. See annex 3 for other category of ethnicity. Enumerators should correctly explain that "Khalkh" is the only distinguished ethnicity in the census questionnaire to facilitate the enumerators' job, not to disregard other ethnicities. This is because around 80 percent of total population of Mongolia are Khalkh people.
[The same questions were repeated for each person]
To be asked from all ages.
[Questions 1-10 and 12-13 are asked of all persons. Question 11 was asked of persons aged 5 and older. Question 14 was asked of persons aged 2-39.]
6. What is your ethnicity?
[] Other, specify ____ _ _
Question 6 -- What is your ethnicity?
Only Mongolian citizens shall answer this question. Foreign nationals and stateless persons will not respond to this question. Fill in the ethnicity of a Mongolian citizen based on his or her response. Parents determine a child's ethnicity. In case parents are not able to determine it, the child's ethnicity shall follow the mother's. For Khalkh ethnicity, circle the code "01". For other ethnic groups other than Khalkh, fill in the corresponding code from Appendix 5 "List of ethnic classification in Mongolia and codes" of this instruction. This is not intended to disregard or ignore other ethnicities, and only aimed to facilitate enumerators' jobs. According to the 2000 Population and Housing Census, nearly 80 percent of Mongolia's population belonged to the "Khalkh" ethnic group, so enumerators will be prevented from writing the Khalkh numerous times.
