Name (P1), Relationship to HH Head (P2) and Overseas Worker (P3)
Data on the relationship to head of household identify the different types of family groups and their structures within a household. They provide an indication of the typical relationships among household members.
Write the names of the members of the household in column P1 and the codes corresponding to their relationship to the head of the household in P3. Be guided by the following:
1. Begin by asking the respondent: "Who is the head of this household?" Write the name of this person on the first line.
2. Next, ask the names of the other members of the household by asking, "Who are the persons usually residing here as of September 1, 1995?". Inform the respondent that you want to list the members in the
[p. 85 ]
order shown below. This list shows the possible relationships to the household head.
- Head
- Spouse of the head
- Never-married children of present marriage from oldest to youngest, regardless of sex
- Never-married children of head from previous marriage (if any) from oldest to youngest, regardless of sex Never-married children of spouse from previous marriage (if any) from oldest to youngest, regardless of sex
- Ever-married children of head/spouse and their families from oldest to youngest: son or son-in-law first, followed by daughter-in-law/ daughter and grandchildren
- Parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, parents-in-law and other relatives of the head or the spouse of the head
- Boarders (including relatives who are mere boarders)
- Domestic helpers (including relatives who are employed as domestic helpers)
- Non-relatives of head
If the head has more than one spouse living in the same household, list down the name of the first spouse and their children, followed by the second spouse and their children and so on, keeping the nuclear family together, if possible.
Write down the names of all household members in the order mentioned above.
Also inform the respondent that you need to list all household members who are overseas workers. An overseas worker is a household member who is currently out of the country due to overseas employment. He or she may or may not have a specific work contract or may be presently at home on vacation but has an existing overseas
[p. 86 ]
employment to return to. "TNT" workers are included if the household still considers them as members and if they mention their names when you ask about the names of household members. However, immigrants are excluded.
Take note that boarders are members of a household if they do not usually go to their respective homes weekly. However, if there are 10 or more such persons in the household, do not include them as members of the household with whom they board. These boarders will all be considered as institutional population and will be enumerated separately from the household.
You may sometimes encounter respondents who will insist that you include as member of the household a person who does not qualify as per our census concepts. To avoid antagonizing your respondent, include the person but write the necessary remarks. However, when you leave the household, line out the entries for that person and correct the line numbers. Example of persons whom your respondent would likely insist to be included in their household are students who attend school in Manila or another province or municipality and go home only at least once a month and therefore should be enumerated in the place where he/she is boarding and not in their parents' household.
When you are in doubt as to whether to include a person as member of a household or not, include but enter the necessary remarks/explanation at the back of the questionnaire.
3. In writing the names of the members of the household, enter the surname first, followed by a comma and then the first or given name and middle initial, if given. If the surname of a member is the same as the one immediately preceding him/her, just draw a horizontal line and a comma (__________,) in place of his surname and write the first name of the person as illustrated in the following example.
Example:
Santiago, Ismael
_______, Rodora A.
________, Teresa
De la Fuente, Jose
__________, Karmela
In some parts of the country, people do not have surnames. If you encounter such a case, just write the name as given.
4. As the respondent names the household members, ask the member's relationship to the household head and if the member is an overseas worker.
Write down the appropriate code for Relationship to HH Head in column P2. The code should be one of the 22 codes listed in the Codes Sheet.
If the member is an overseas worker, encircle " 1 " in column P3. Otherwise, encircle "2".
5. If a household has more than eight (8) members, you will need to use additional sheets of CP Form 2. To cue you on this, the shaded question "are there more than 8 members in this household?" found at the bottom of the page of CP Form 2 is addressed to you and should not to be asked of the respondent. If there are more than 8 members in the household, encircle 1 -- YES, and get another sheet for the household; otherwise, encircle 2 -- No. If two sheets of CP Form 2 are used, line-out the pre-printed line numbers on the second sheet and write on top the new line numbers. Thus, for the second sheet replace line number "01" with "09", "02" with "10" and so on until you list the last member in the household.
6. After listing all members of the household in P1, ask the shaded question "Are there any other persons such as small children or infants that we have not listed?" Check appropriate box. If the answer is yes, add his name on the list. If 2 sheets of questionnaires are being used, check the appropriate box on the second sheet only. Verify further by asking "Are there anyone who is usually a member of this
[p. 88 ]household but is presently away from home on business, on vacation, in school, etc.?" If another name is given, determine if the person is a member according to the rules on household membership. If he is, add his name to the list.
7. Draw a horizontal line across P1 after the name of the last household member and affix your initials above this line; afterwards draw an X-mark down to line number 8.
