6.4 Section P: Questions on population P01-P08

For all members of the household

Enter the name of the household members starting with the head of the household. Afterwards enter the name of the spouse, children (eldest to youngest), other relatives of the head and non- relatives. Remember to include a visitor or a servant (if he/she lives in the household).

- The respondent to the census questionnaire is most likely to be the head of the household. In the event that the head is not around, any knowledgeable adult member of the household will be the respondent.
- Start with first name followed by surname (Mary Phiri). It is not necessary to record all the names of each person. If a small child has no name, write "Baby" as its first name,
e.g. Baby Kantedza.
- Make sure that babies and the elderly are included.
P06 Place of birth
Select district or select the foreign country (See P06A for list of foreign countries) provided where the respondent was born. Thus, for an example, if a person was born in Lilongwe select Lilongwe as the district. In case the person was not born in Malawi, select "outside Malawi".

P06A Born in another country
Select the appropriate country of birth if P06 is "outside Malawi"
