Place of birth means where a person was born: indicate district if it is in Nepal and country if it is in another country. Birth may take place in a house, hospital, nursing home or other places like the ones mentioned above. For the purpose of enumeration, the place of birth refers to the usual place of residence of the mother during the birth of a person. If it is in the native country then the district should be recorded, or if it is in another country then the name of the country should be recorded. Even though the place of birth is in hospital, nursing home or other places like the ones mentioned above, which is used for the facilities, the place of birth should be the usual place of residence of mother at that time.

In the counting process, the birth place of all persons of all ages (infant, child, young, old) should be mentioned. If the birth place of a person is in Nepal, then mention the name of the current district of that place e.g. if the place of birth is in the currently living district (at the time of enumeration) then encircle code 1 to denote the same district. If place of birth is in the other district then encircle code 2 and specify the current name of the district of that place, e.g. Dolakha, Kailali, Bajhang etc. For denoting the place of birth as rural (VDC) or urban (Municipality) at the time of birth, encircle code 1 if it was VDC or 2 if it was municipality. If the place of birth is another country then encircle code 3 and specify the name of the country where the birth took place e.g. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Germany etc.

Note:

1. The question on place of birth should be canvassed for all persons (infant, children, young and old) and the place of district or country should be specified.
2. For the person whose place of birth is in the currently living district - or having encircle code 1 of this column - there is no need to ask column 5 of this Schedule.

Column 16: where is the birthplace of [the respondent]?

[] 1 This district
[] 2 Another district

[] 1 VDC
[] 2 Municipality

[] 3 Foreign country

Birthplace means where a person was born (this district, another district, or foreign country). Ask the person concerned whether he/she was born in this district, another district, or foreign country. If he/she was born in this district, circle the reference 1, if born in another district, circle the reference 2, and write the name of the district where he/she was born, and then also circle either the VDC or municipality where he/or she was born. If the person was born in any foreign country, circle the reference 3 and write the name of the country.

[Image is omitted]

If a person was born in this district (enumerated district), there is no need to ask such questions as how long [the respondent has been] living here (column 17) and what is the main reason to live here (column 18). In this situation, jump to the column 19 (Where [the respondent] was living five years ago?). However, if the person was not born in this district, but in another district then write the name of the other district and again ask whether if the birthplace was a VDC or municipality. If the birthplace was a VDC, circle the reference 1 and if it was municipality, circle the reference 2. If the person was born in another district (circled in reference 2) or in foreign country (circled in reference 3), then ask him/her how long he/she has been living here (column 17) and what is the main reason for living here (column).

Things to be considered while completing column 16:

- Ask the question related to birthplace to all persons (children, youth, and elderly people) and if the birthplace is another district or country, specify the name of such district or country.

- A person's place of birth might be anywhere - own home, hospital, maternity care center, nursing home or places with similar facilities. But for the purpose of enumeration, the place of birth means the place where his/her parents were usually living when he/she was born, and accordingly if it was this district, circle the reference 1, if it was another district, circle the reference 2 or if it was another country circle the reference 3.

[p. 67]

- If the birthplace was in another district, circle the reference 2 and write the name of the district of the birthplace (e.g. Dhading, Kailali, Jumla, etc.). Also identify whether the place was a VDC or municipality at that time, and if was a VDC, circle the reference 1 and if it was a municipality, circle the reference 2.

- If the birthplace was another country, circle the reference 3 and write the name of the country (e.g. India, China, America, Canada, Australia, England, etc.).

- For people who checked reference 1, i.e. the people who was born in the current living district, do not ask the questions related to column 17 and 18.
