Section VI - Personal characteristics

32. In which country was [the respondent] born?

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.

Question 32. In which country was [the respondent] born?
This question must be asked to all members of the household that answered in question 30 that they were born abroad. Ask the informant for the country's name in which he/she was born and then record it in the corresponding boxes.
