G. Information of the people
169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.

When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.

In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."

I. General characteristics of all people
The questions included in this chapter are for knowing the distribution of the population by sex, age and civil state; their territorial distribution and movements made within the country in the last 5 years.

You should ask the questions in this chapter to all people who are to be enumerated in the home.

218. Question no. 7 is: "In what locality or place did you begin living habitually when you were born?"

With this question we look to get information about the locality or place that constituted the first habitual residence of the person being enumerated. It is, generally, the home of their parents at the moment of birth of this person. Consequently, the place or locality of the hospital, sanitarium, or private house where, eventually, the mother moved for the birth of the enumerated person should not be written down.

219. To register the information corresponding to this question, follow the same criteria as for no. 6 (paragraph 214)

220. While enumerating Mr. López in Tranqueras, who always lived there, he declares to have been born in Rivera, where his mother moved with the purpose of receiving adequate medical assistance.

When you ask the question "In what locality or place did you begin living habitually when you were born?", Mr. López should respond:

[Below the text are two forms, one of which has a box marked "Tranqueras"]

221. Mr. Pereira declares that he was born in the city of Durazno and lived there for 10 years, then moving to the department of Canelones, where you are enumerating him.

Read question No. 7 and write down the department and locality corresponding to this example.

[p. 65]

222. If a person who you are enumerating was born in this country, go directly to question number 8; but if they declare to be born abroad, you should ask the year of arrival in Uruguay to live here.

Mr. Rojas was born in Santiago, Chile and arrived in Uruguay in the year 1941. Make the corresponding notations in the Census document.

[Below the text are two forms, one of which is filled out "Chile, 1941"]

Question 9. In what locality or place did you begin to live when you were born?

We look to obtain information about the locality or place that constituted the first habitual residence of the enumerated person.

[p. 25]

Generally it was the same place where their parents lived at the moment of their birth.
Consequently, do not consider here a place or locality where the hospital, sanitarium or private house was found where the mother moved for the birth of the enumerated person.

To write down this question, the same procedures and criteria for Question 7 are followed.

If the enumerated person was born in Uruguay and is age 3 or older, go directly to the following Part "For all persons age 3 or older". If born in Uruguay and younger than 3, you will leave the questions of the parts that follow blank and of to enumerate the next person.

If an enumerated person declared to have been born abroad and has habitual residence in Uruguay (Question 7), you should ask the following question:

J. Migration

For everyone in the household

MI2. Where did you go to live immediately after birth?

This question seeks to obtain information about the locality or place that constituted the first habitual residency of the person interviewed. Generally this deals with the same locality where his mother was living at the moment of his birth. Consequently, you must not note here the locality where the hospital or sanatorium was located or where the mother was moved for the birth of the interviewed person. For example, many mother residents from Canelones went to hospitals in Montevideo to give birth, if the question was asked more simply, where was he born?, many people would respond "in Montevideo" and the response would be erroneous, according to the objectives planted at the beginning.

If the person constituted his first habitual residency in the same locality or place in which he is being interviewed, circle the corresponding code (1).

If the person was living in another locality or place when he was born, note the name if it is in the same department of the interview. If the person was living in another locality or place when he was born, but a different department than that of the interview, you must note the name. Below, record the name of the locality or place. If he was born in another country, register the name of the country of birth.

8.5 Migration

This module is formulated for everyone.

The objective is to identify the migrations that the people have had throughout their lives. Migration is understood to be a change of habitual residency from a place of origin to a place of destination that outreaches the limits of the geographic division (locality, department, or country).

In which locality or area did he/she go to live after birth?

This question refers to the locality or area that constituted the first habitual residence of the person (in the case of having been born in the exterior, you should only record the country). Generally it deals with the same locality where his mother was living at the moment of birth. Consequentially, you must not note here the locality where the hospital, sanitarium, or private house where the mother gave birth is found.

[p. 97]

Select the option

In this locality or area. If the person's first habitual resident is in the same locality or area in which he/she is being interviewed.
In another locality of this department: If the person went to reside in another locality or area of the same department in which he/she is being interviewed.

Select the name of the locality from the list that the system displays.
If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant as to whether the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
If the informant responds that it was an urban area, ask him/him if that locality is known by another name and search for the said name in the list.
If the locality is known by another name or the name is not on the list, select the option "other." This option will only be used in very exceptional cases.

In another department: If the person went to live in another locality or area of a department different than that in which he/she is being interviewed.

Select the name of the department.
Select the name of the locality from the list the system displays.
If the name of the locality is not on the list, consult the informant about where the place was in a rural area. If it is so, mark the option "rural."
