Relationship
3. What is [the respondent's] relationship to the head of household?

Part A of the questionnaire

124. Columns A1-A6 collect the basic information about the persons in the household (name, relationship to head of household, sex, age, and citizenship). The sample questionnaire is shown on page 24.

127. Column A3: Relationship
Q. What is the respondent's relationship to the head of this household?
Enter the appropriate two-digit code in the shaded area under column A3 as follows:

The respondent may indicate that someone is the head's spouse even if the man and woman are not legally married. They may be living together without having gone through any form of marriage ceremony, whether tribal, civil, religious or other. Nevertheless, if the respondent indicates that someone is the spouse/partner of the head of household, you should enter code 01, even if later you are told in column A19 that the two individuals are "living together". A person may effectively be the spouse, in terms of the role that person plays in the household, even if legally that person is not married to the head of the household.
