Section 4: Habitation Characteristics

This section gives information on the characteristics of the household's lodging.

In the case where a more than one questionnaire is used for the household, the answers to the questions on the habitation's characteristics shall only be noted on form number 1 used for the household.

57. Head of household's revenue

This variable only concerns the head of household. Ask the following question.

Q: "How much have you [has the head of household] made in the last month or how much do you estimate your [his] last month's income to be?"
Write down the value corresponding to the obtained answer.

Keep in mind that the revenue estimate differs according to the occupation status of the head of household. In fact:

If the head of household has a monthly salary his revenue corresponds to his net salary as well as his other potential sources of income;

If the head of household does not have a monthly salary:

If he is a temporary salaried employee: his revenue corresponds to his daily salary multiplied by the number of days worked during the month;
If he works on the job [meaning on specific projects when need]: his revenue corresponds to the sum of his daily gains during the last month;

If the head of household is an employer or an independent:

If he is an independent worker and an employer, his revenue corresponds to his total monthly income minus the total amount of expenses [intermediary consumption, personnel fees, taxes, investment expenses, etc]
If he is a farmer, ask him to give you an estimate of the total amount of sales on his overall production [sold production and personal consumption] minus the amount of expenses invested for production.
If the head of household made no income during the previous month, write down "00000000;"
If the income from last month was not declared, write down "99999999."

NB: the registration of income in the boxes reserved to that effect shall be done from right to left.
