Chapter E. For all persons.

4. What is your age in years completed?

E. Population information for all persons

Before enumerating each of the members of the household, you should note the order number, the name and last name and relationship on the page that corresponds to each of them in the same order as chapter D (Question 28). After registering all of the persons, you should complete the information for each of them, beginning with the head of household, male or female.

Question 4: How old is the person in completed years?

The age of each person is one of the most important pieces of information for the analysis.

You register the age in years completed, which means, the number of years completed at the date of the interview and not the age that the person will soon complete.

[p. 35]

If the birthday of the person being interviewed is the day of the interview, you should consider as years completed those that the person completes on this day.

If you encounter twins or triplets, you should write the word twin or triplet next to the age.
