For all members of the household (1 through 18)
[Question 1 through 18 were asked of all persons living in the household.]

Place of birth

12. Urban or rural

Questions 11 and 12: Place of birth
150. Ask "which Township was [the respondent] born?" Place of birth for the purpose of census is the usual place of residence (township) of the mother at the time of the person's birth.

151. This question establishes persons who are not enumerated in their places of birth and hence have migrated. It will be used in estimating migration patterns. Sometimes expectant mothers move from the rural areas to urban areas for only purposes of delivery since maternity services are better at the latter. This kind of movement is short lived and must not be confused with a migratory one. Please note that birthplace does not mean place of delivery, but the usual place of residence of mother at the time of the respondent's birth. For example if a woman who usually resides in Nyaung Done township goes to a hospital in a township in Yangon to deliver her baby, the birthplace is Nyaung Done township and not the township in Yangon.

152. For persons born in Myanmar, record Township code using the code list provided. For a person born in same township as where being enumerated write "000". Mark either "1" for urban or "2" for rural in question (12) accordingly. If the place of birth was in Ward it will correspond to urban and if village tract then mark as rural. For a person born outside Myanmar, code the country of birth using country code provided. Even for non-Myanmar citizens you must ask whether they were born in urban or rural areas and code accordingly.

153. Urban/rural may have changed since birth. If so, record the status at the time of birth. Note if the respondent does not know the township, only the ward or village tract name of birth, you would then assign accordingly (ward = urban) ad (village tract = rural).
