7. In what rural parish or city did you habitually live 5 years ago (in November of 1985)?

Question 10.- Five years ago (in November of 1996), in what rural parish or head-town of the canton were you usually living?

[There is a picture of question 10 from this section of the enumeration form.]

If the informant states "I've always lived here," "since I was born," or "always," put an "x" in the box "in this rural parish or head-town of the canton." Otherwise, if they were living in another part of the country, record the name of the rural parish or head-town of the canton, the canton, and the province to which it belongs; if they were living in another country, record the name of the country.

[p. 44]

Record the province. That way, you will avoid confusion later on. Don't confuse the term another place with another neighborhood in the same city or town which belongs to the same rural parish or head-town of the canton where the person lived. Explain that it refers to other cities or rural parishes.

Record the name of the rural parish or head-town of the canton, the canton, and the province. If they lived abroad, record the name of the country.

[There is a drawing of a man from the U.S., with the appropriate information filled in for this question on the enumeration form.]

Step 11: Continue with the second part (questions 11 to 13) of section 4, information about the population / B : General characteristics.

[A copy of part of section 4B of the census questionnaire is omitted here.]

Tips:

• Follow the order sequential of the questions.
• Remember the leaps in questions 11, 12, and 13.
• Question 11 must have all of the categories read, like this:

• Where was (Marco Méndez)born: in this city? , in another place of the country? or in another country?
• In this example the informant was born in Bolivia, immediately you must ask the year in which he arrived in Ecuador.

• Question 12 must have the categories read, like this:

• In what place does (Marco Méndez) habitually live?: in this city?, in another place of the country? , or in another country?
• In this example the informant lives in this same city, or marks x, in category 1 and continues with the next question.

• Question 13 must have the categories read, like this:

• 5 years ago, in what place did (Marco Méndez) habitually live?: in this city? , in another place of the country? or in another country?
• In this example if the informant lived in another place of the country, mark x, in category 2.
• Ask, In what Province?, in what county? and in what city or rural parish?
• For the example, 5 years ago he lived in the province of Guayas, Guayaquil county, and Guayaquil City; write down these names.

• Remember that if you are enumerating a child under 5 years of age, you should not ask question 13, just mark x in option 4 and continue with the next question.
