6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people

In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.

Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.


For people age 3 or older.
[Questions 12-20 are for persons age 3 or older]


16. Ethnic self-identification
A person is or is considered indigenous if he/she identifies himself/herself as such, for the fact of:

  • descending from native or ancestral populations
  • conserving the traditions or customs of the indigenous community to which he/she belongs


When asking the question, substitute her or him, according to how it corresponds; for example, about Sara you ask: "In agreement with Sara's culture, does she consider herself indigenous?" About Mateo the question would be: "In agreement with Mateo's culture, does he consider himself indigenous?"
