Question 1 to Question 7: Ask about all household's usual residents

Question 6: To what ethnic group does [the respondent] belong?
If the respondent is Kinh, the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "1".

If the respondent is not Kinh, the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "2". After that, write down the name of the respondent's ethnic group on the printed line, and use the "List of ethnic groups in Vietnam" in Appendix 10 to choose the code corresponding to that ethnic group to fill in the 2 boxes.

[Graphic example omitted]

For a person who is a biological or adopted child of a married couple where the husband's ethnic group is different from the wife's one, then the ethnic group of their child is defined by an agreement of his/her parents. In case his/her parents did not reach an agreement, his/her ethnic group is taken according to his/her father's ethnic group (the Civil Law).

For ethnic groups that follow the matriarchy, record the ethnic group for the child according to that of his/her mother.

For the child of an unmarried woman, his/her ethnic group is recorded according to his/her mother's ethnic group. In case there is a man who recognizes the child as his child and agrees to record his name in the child's birth certificate, and this is accepted by the mother, then the ethnic group of the child is recorded according to the ethnic group of the father.

For a foreigner whose ethnic group is Vietnamese, then his/her ethnic group is recorded according to his/her original nationality.

[pg.35]

For example, if a person whose original nationality is American, then write down "American" in the space on the printed line.

Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form

Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.

Question 6: What ethnicity does [the respondent] belong to?
If DTDT answers other ethnic group, DTV asks and records the name of the ethnicity commonly used in the locality (ethnic branch) and the name of the main ethnicity on the solid lines, and relies on the "List of Vietnamese ethnicities" in Appendix 2 to enter the appropriate code. Record like the following example: DTDT declares that the ethnicity is "Trieu Chau." DTV writes "Trieu Chau (Hoa)" and then records the ethnicity code as "04".

Some cases of ethnicity identification:

- For people who are biological or adopted children of parents not of the same ethnicity, the ethnicity of the child is identified according to the agreement of the parents. In case the parents cannot agree, record the father's ethnicity (according to the provisions of the Civil Code).

- For matrilineal ethnicity, write the name of the child's ethnicity according to the mother's ethnicity.

[p.45]

- For an illegitimate child, the child's ethnicity is recorded according to the mother's ethnicity. In case the illegitimate father acknowledges the child and agrees to declare his name on the child's birth certificate, and at the same time this is accepted by the mother, DTV records the child's ethnicity according to the father's ethnicity.

- For foreigners who have obtained Vietnamese citizenship, DTV records their ethnicity according to their original nationality in the form of Vietnamese transliteration. For example: New Zealand, America or the United States of America.

For example: For a person whose original nationality is American, DTV writes "American" in the blank box then records code "55" (foreigner).
