(All persons)

8. A year ago

Where did [the respondent] live this time last year?

This question deals with the usual place where each person was living a year before the census. Proceed as follows:

[p.23]

For children who are under one year of age at the time of enumeration, enter 0000 (because this time a year ago they had not been born).

For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as last year, enter 0001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) last year, enter 0002.

For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the place (as described for A7), and also look up the appropriate code from the Village/Country List as above. Enter the code below the name of the place you have just written.

For a person who was living outside Botswana a year before the census, enter the name and code number for the country, prefixing the code by 77, e.g. if Lesotho, enter code 7703.

Remember, this is the usual place of residence a year before the census - even if on the same night one year ago they were temporarily away (e.g. visiting friends/relatives, in hospital).

In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 103, James, Anne and Molelo were all living in this household a year ago, so they are coded 0001 in column AB. Since Mimi had not yet been born a year ago, she is coded 0000. Anthony was living at the boarding school in Francis town a year ago, so he is coded as he was in column A7. David was living in Gaborone last year, so "Gaborone" is written in the unshaded area and the code 0101 is entered in the shaded area. Thembe was living in South Africa, and she is coded as she was in column A7.

Q: Where did [the person] live this time last year?

This question deals with the usual place where each person was living a year before the census. If a person was temporarily away from home a year before the census, record the place where the person was living, not the place the person was temporarily visiting. For example, if someone living in Kgalagadi was away from home visiting friends or relatives in Jwaneng, or if someone was in hospital in Jwaneng, do not record the place of usual living a year ago as Jwaneng. Use the code for Kgalagadi instead. If a child was attending boarding school in Lobatse, a year ago was with his family in Central district during the school holiday, then the child's place of usual living a year ago was Lobatse; he was merely visiting Lerala at this time a year ago.

For children who are under one year of age at the time of enumeration, enter 000 (because this time a year ago they had not been born).

For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as last year, enter 001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) last year, enter 002.

For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the district (as described for A8), and also look up the appropriate code from the Village/Country List as above. Enter the district code preceded by a "6", below the name of the district you have just written.

For a person who was living outside Botswana a year before the census, enter the name and code number for the country, prefixing the code by 7, e.g., if Lesotho, enter code 703. In cases where the place of usual residence was not known a year ago write 999.

Q. Where did the respondent live this time last year?
This question deals with the usual place where each person was living a year before the census. If a person was temporarily away from home a year before the census, record the place where the person was living, not the place the person was temporarily visiting. For example, if someone living in Kgalagadi was away from home visiting friends or relatives in Jwaneng, or if someone was in hospital in Jwaneng, do not record the place of usual living a year ago as Jwaneng, instead write Kgalagadi. If a child was attending boarding school in Lobatse a year ago and was with his/her family in Central district during the school holiday, then the child's place of usual living a year ago was Lobatse; he/she was merely visiting Central district at this time a year ago.
For children who are under one year of age at the time of enumeration, enter 0000 (because this time a year ago they were not born).

For a person who is living in the same housing unit now as last year, enter 0001. For a person who was living elsewhere in the locality (as indicated on the top of the questionnaire) last year, enter 0002.

For a person who was living somewhere else in Botswana, write down the name of the census district (as described for A8).

For a person who was living outside Botswana a year before the census, enter the name of the country on the unshaded space. In cases where the place of usual residence a year ago is not known, write 9999 and 7999 if it is known that the person was outside Botswana although the exact country where the person was at that time is not known. Similarly if it was known that the person was somewhere in Botswana even though the exact location is not known, the code to use should be 6699.
