A. First block: personal characteristics (for all persons)

This part of the census form is designed to study the composition of the population according to the following characteristics: relationship to the head of household, sex, age, marital status, maternal orphanhood, ethnicity, and disabilities.

Questions 1-8 are presented to all enumerated persons, without exception, following the specific instructions presented below:


Question 7: ethnic group

1. How to formulate the question

The enumerator should take into account, as a benchmark, the social assessment of the person in the place in which the enumeration is conducted to determine if the enumerated person is indigenous or not.

When enumerating a servant, the informant will be asked if the servant is indigenous or not. If there is doubt or the enumerated person is not a servant, the enumerator will fall back on the last option that will be to ask the person if he or she is ladino or indigenous. The answer given by the person is recorded.

2. How to record the data

If the person is indigenous, number "1" is circled, on the other hand, the number "2" is circled. If the informant cannot establish the ethnic group of the person, the category "9. unknown" is circled.
