Question 16: Relationship to head of household
If a person is not related to the head of the household (by blood or by marriage), you must assign him/her the code "8 - SP (no relationship); this person may be a friend, colleague, protégé, or simple acquaintance staying in the household, an apprentice, etc.
In any other case, this is a person who has some relationship to the head of household. However, you are not to transcribe the answer obtained as is, because only seven possibilities are available to you to indicate the nature of the relationship:
[p.32]
(a) "2 = EP" Code "2" represents the bond of marriage between the head of household and his/her spouse. All wives of the head of the household are assigned code 2 = EP. If the head of household is a married woman and her husband lives in the household, the spouse is assigned code 2 = EP.
b) "3 = FL" Code "3" is reserved for the children of the head of household, i.e. the sons and daughters of the head of household.
Attention! Your brother's children or your sister's children are not your children; they are your nephews or nieces. Nor is an adopted child your son or daughter. These two cases should not be included in code 3 = FL.
c) "4 = PM" Code "4" is strictly reserved for the father and mother of the head of household. A maximum of two people may be assigned code "4" in a given household.
(d) "5 = FS" Code "5" is reserved for the brothers and sisters of the head of household. These are people born to the same father and/or mother as the head of household.
Attention! Take care not to confuse brothers/sisters with first cousins, who are the children of the uncle or the aunt.
(e) "6 = NN" Code "6" is reserved for nephews and nieces of the head of household, i.e. the children of a brother or sister who share the same father and/or mother as the head of household.
Attention! The children of the first cousin are not the nephews/nieces of the head of household.
f) "7 = AP" Code "7" is reserved for all other relatives of the head of household: uncle, aunt, cousin, grandfather or grandmother, great-uncle, children of a first cousin, etc. Similarly, all relatives by marriage fall into this category: son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, spouse's uncle or aunt, etc. The children of the spouse of the head of the household are not the sons or daughters of the head of the household, but stepsons or stepdaughters; they, too, are classified in the category "Other relatives of the head of the household" under code "7." The same is true of adoptive children. From all the previous elements, you can determine the code corresponding to the answer to be recorded in the workbook.
