P03 - Relationship to the head
[figure omitted]

Shade only one box to state the exact relationship of each person to the head who is entered on the first row, e.g. "2" for spouse, "3" for son or daughter, "4" for son-in-law or daughter-in-law, "5" for grand-child, "6" for father/mother of head, "7" for other relatives of head and "8" for non-relative of head.

The entry must be in relation to the head and not to any member in the household. Thus, the wife of a married son living with his father who is the head, should be reported as "daughter-in-law" and not as spouse and box "4" should be shaded instead of box "2".

Note: Step children and adopted children should be classified as sons or daughters
