Numbering of households
a) Definition
There are two types of households: ordinary households and collective households.
Ordinary households: An ordinary household is defined as a group of individuals, who may or may not be related, who recognize the authority of the same individual, called the "head of the household," and whose resources are partly shared. They live in the same building. Note: A household may be comprised of a single person.
Special cases for ordinary households: Domestic servants are only household members when they sleep and eat there. A group of single people sharing a dwelling is considered: a household if they recognize the authority of the same person, who is the head of the household; separate households if they do not.
Collective households: a group of people who live under particular conditions. These individuals are often not bound together by family ties. Collective households are found in the following establishments: barracks, hospitals, boarding schools, university residence halls, hotels, insane asylums, orphanages, prisons, monasteries, convents and other religious communities, and living quarters on temporary work sites, etc. Note: In university residence halls, married students who live with their families are surveyed as ordinary households.
