Question 7

Residence The enumerator should mark the respondent's residence as of midnight of 4 January 2000--the census moment. The administrative unit is the soum in the aimag and district in the capital. Persons who are counted as temporary absent in a particular soum or district and counted as a visitor in a recent place during the census days. There are three categories to define person's residence. These are:
1) permanent resident
2) temporary absent
3) visitor

(There are special instructions for those who have Mongolian citizenship and are enumerated abroad, soldiers and prisoners).

Permanent resident.

At the time of census, people who were living in the place of their usual residence will be considered permanent residents.

Those people who are living in a place more than six months whether they registered or not at that administrative unit will be considered permanent residents.

Also, people who are living less than six months but intend to live more than six months will be considered as permanent residents.

For example: People who came from the countryside to UB one month ago, but intended to live in UB six months and more than six months will be considered as permanent residents.
However, the enumerator should clearly explain to these people that they are enumerated as permanent residents only for the population and housing census.

This will not effect on their administrative registration status.

During the census, people who were not in their household and country belong to the following categories will be considered as permanent resident.

persons on holidays
watchman on duty
those people who work their jobs for several days like: railway workers, workers of air and auto sectors, post-man
people who went on vacation and traveled for less than a week and children who are in 24-hour kindergarten
persons temporarily out from their place of residence (went for fire wood, for cattle, for hunting etc)
went to military gathering
women and infants in a delivery hospital


Temporary absent

People who are not at their home during the census time and who are temporarily absent from the country for six and less than six months will be considered as temporary absent.
This category will cover the following group of people.

[p. 20]

temporarily or seasonal workers
people went on vacations or travelling more than one week
people who went to do industrial practice
people visited to other aimag and soum to meet with relatives and friends

Country name, which is living temporary absent person outside the country will be recorded in line of aimag and capital city and city name will be recorded in line of soum and district. See code from annex-5 of the instruction.

Visitor

People who have been living in the census enumeration area less than six months will be enumerated as "visitors" In other words, those people enumerated in their usual administrative units as "temporary absent" will enumerate in their temporary living place as "visitors". Also if people were in an airport, railway station, transportation station and other checking places and not have a "census enumeration certificate," they will be enumerated as "visitor".
