3.3.4 Section VII: Persons in the census household

The first seven questions sets in this section refer to family relationship, age, sex, current marital status, ethnic group, death of mother and disability.

Questions 8-12 refer to the person's migration and ethnic characteristics. Only questions 11 and 12 are for persons aged three and older.

Questions 13-15 refer to literacy, level of education and attendance at school and are intended for persons aged seven and older.

The four following questions (16-19) refer to the person's type of economic activity, principal employment, branch of activity, and occupational category. They are also intended for persons aged seven and older.

The last five questions (20-24) cover fertility, and are intended only for females aged 12 and older.

The housing form has enough space to record a maximum of ten person, and so the section is repeated an equal number of times. The information about each person who spends the night in the homeless shelter should be written in the same order as they were listed in section V, "list of persons."

If the homeless shelter has more than ten persons, use an additional form.

Section VII is designed to allow you to record the complete information about one person. Write the person's order number in the grid space according to the list in section V. Spell out completely the first names and complete surnames of each person.

10. Previous permanent residence
The place of previous permanent residence is the municipality and department in which the person resided immediately prior to moving to the municipality in which he/she is living at the time of the census.

This question is for people who specified a number of years in the previous question set. Ask, "In what municipality and department, or country, were you living before moving to this municipality?"

[p. 52]

If the person was residing in a municipality other than that of his permanent residence, write the name of the municipality and department in the appropriate spaces.

If the person was living abroad write the name of the country in the appropriate space.

Leave the grid spaces on the right side of the box blank; they are for office use only.

If the person is less than three years old end the interview and go on to the next person.
