Question 7.- Where were you born?

[There is a picture of question 7 from this section of the enumeration form.]

[p. 42]

If the person being interviewed was born in the rural parish or head-town of the canton where they are being enumerated, mark the box in this rural parish or head-town of the canton.

If they were born in another part of the country, record the name of the rural parish or head-town of the canton, the canton, and the province. In no case should you record the names of: neighborhoods in the same city, towns, hamlets, premises (recintos), or estates in the same rural parish.

Don't confuse the term another place with another neighborhood in the same city or town which belongs to the same rural parish or head-town of the canton where the person was born. Explain that it refers to other cities or rural parishes.

Keep in mind that the information should be explicit and complete, since there are towns and rural parishes with the same name but which belong to different cantons and provinces.

Examples:

Rural parish: San Carlos
Canton: Quevedo
Province: Los Ríos

Rural parish: San Carlos
Canton: La Joya de los Sachas
Province: Orellana

Rural parish: Atahualpa
Canton: Quito
Province: Pichincha

Rural parish: Atahualpa
Canton: Ambato
Province: Tungurahua

Rural parish: Atahualpa
Canton: Santa Elena
Province: Guayas

If the informant was born abroad, record the name of the country and proceed immediately to record the year that they arrived in Ecuador, in Arabic numbers (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999... etc.)

[Section 4]

Step 11: Continue with the second part (questions 11 to 13) of section 4, information about the population / B : General characteristics.

[A copy of part of section 4B of the census questionnaire is omitted here.]

Tips:

Follow the order sequential of the questions.
Remember the leaps in questions 11, 12, and 13.
Question 11 must have all of the categories read, like this:

Where was (Marco Méndez)born: in this city? , in another place of the country? or in another country?
In this example the informant was born in Bolivia, immediately you must ask the year in which he arrived in Ecuador.

Question 12 must have the categories read, like this:

In what place does (Marco Méndez) habitually live?: in this city?, in another place of the country? , or in another country?
In this example the informant lives in this same city, or marks x, in category 1 and continues with the next question.

Question 13 must have the categories read, like this:

5 years ago, in what place did (Marco Méndez) habitually live?: in this city? , in another place of the country? or in another country?
In this example if the informant lived in another place of the country, mark x, in category 2.
Ask, In what Province?, in what county? and in what city or rural parish?
For the example, 5 years ago he lived in the province of Guayas, Guayaquil county, and Guayaquil City; write down these names.

(A) You should not register anything in the fields for the use of INEC.

Remember that if you are enumerating a child under 5 years of age, you should not ask question 13, just mark x in option 4 and continue with the next question.
