D. Personal information

12. When you were born, in which commune or country did your mother live?

If you do not know the year, mark the period in which you arrived in Chile.

Questionnaire section D: "Personal information"
Interview each member of the household using one page for each person. The order in which you must conduct the interviews is the same as you entered on question 6.c. Therefore, person No. 1 will correspond to the head of household, while person No. 2 will be the person you entered on the second row, and so forth.
It is very important that you follow the order as entered on question 6.c for conducting the interviews in section D. This way, you will avoid leaving someone out without being recorded for the census.

[Questions 10-11, place of usual residence and place of residence in 2012]
You must bear in mind that questions 10, 11, 12 and 12a are open-ended. This means that you must wait for the response from the interviewee. Remember to use the stipulated type of print and numbering to complete the questionnaire.
A person is considered to be a habitual resident of a commune or country when the person has been residing in it at least 6 months in the last year or intends to remain for at least 6 months.

Important: There are communes that are in different parts of the country and have a similar name. For example: San Pedro de Atacama (Antofagasta region), San Pedro de Melipilla (Metropolitan region), San Pedro de la Paz (Biobío region). For this reason, it is very important that you record the exact and complete name (without abbreviations) of the commune or country in the box that appears below the category.
Do not confuse region and province with commune. For example, if the response is "Santiago," remember to ask if it refers to the commune or to the city.

[Questions 12-12a, place of birth and year of immigration]
This question seeks to identify the mother's residence at the time of the birth of the person you are recording.
In the case of persons who have entered the country more than once, consider only the year of the most recent permanent residence. In other words, if a person arrived in 2000 but has done some traveling between 2000 and 2016 that has not entailed changing habitual residence (less than six months abroad), you should take the year 2000 as a reference.
