Question 30. Where was [the respondent] born?
For census purposes, a person's place of birth refers to the place in which the mother of that person lived when he/she was born, even if the person was born in a hospital, clinic or house outside of the mother's residence.
This question has three possible answers:
- If the person replies that he/she was born here, in this municipality, fill in code 1 and then skip to question 34.
- If the person replies that he/she was born in another municipality, fill in code 2 and continue with question 31.
- If the person replies that he/she was born abroad, fill in code 3 and then skip to question 32.
- For example: If the informant replies that Manuel was born in La Vega Hospital and her mother lived in Cotui, then Manuel's place of birth is the municipality of Cotui.
