Column (11): Residency status
After determining the residency situation of the household members, the census agent must circle the corresponding code:
Notes: A permanent state agent who was recently positioned in a locality shall be counted as "resident."
Night workers such as guards, doctors, etc. who spent the night preceding the census agent's visit at their work location shall be counted as "Present Residents" in their household. They shall not be counted at their work location.
13. Location of previous residence - In which township did [the person] live (for a least 6 continuous months) before settling down here?
Questions 1 [order number] to 12 [residency status] apply to all persons to count in the household.
12. Residency situation
The inhabited sites that you must visit refer to any location where at least one person resides permanently. The notion of residency situation is linked to that of habitual domicile and to that of the duration in the household or outside of the household relative to a reference duration of 6 months [relative to the date of the census].
Thus, a person shall be considered as a "resident" in the household if they have been living in it:
Habitually since 6 months or;
Since less than 6 months but with the intention of remaining for more than 6 months.
Example:
This variable allows classifying individuals based on their stay in the household.
The modality codes of the variable residency situation are:
A resident is considered a Present Resident if he spent the night preceding the first visit of the census agent in the household. However, a baby born on the day of the census agent's visit must be considered a present resident even if he is still being nursed by his mother who is also considered a present resident of the household.
[Page 56]
A resident is considered an absent resident if he did not spend the night preceding the first visit of the census agent in the household. Such absence must not exceed 6 months.
Is considered a visitor, any non-resident person having spent the night preceding the first visit of the census agent in the household; the total duration of their presence in the household must not exceed 6 months.
A person registered as "absent resident" at the first visit will keep this status even if they return to the household during the counting period. They may however answer themselves to questions regarding them. Similarly, a "present resident" will keep the same status even if they travel after the first household visit. Thus after the first census agent visit, it becomes impossible to update the list of household members.
Circle the modality code of the residency situation of the counted person.
Attention: All students living in dorms or going to school elsewhere and having spent the night preceding your household visit must be considered visitors.
NB: Residents detained in jail or at a police station or brigade shall be counted in their ordinary household. However, prisoners shall be counted in their collective households. Those accompanying the sick who are non-residents shall be considered in the collective household while those accompanying residents shall be considered in their household.
The field corresponding to the following cases, by sex, should be marked with an X:
5. Residential status ____
P05. Resident status
[] 1 - RP if the person typically lives in the household and spent the preceding night in the household
[] 2 - RA for persons that typically live in the household, but were absent the preceding night
[] 3 - VIS for visitors
[] 4 - EM for emigrants
P05. Resident status
[] 1 = RP (present resident)
[] 2 = RA (absent resident)
[] 3 = VIS (visitors)
2. Full name of the person ____
For filling in these statements, please carefully read the following instructions: usual member may be divided into two categories: (i). those who slept in the house occupied by the household on survey night i.e. those who were present on survey night and (ii) those who were away and so were absent on survey night. Please note that persons on night duty (e.g. doctors, nurses, policemen, watchmen, prison wardens etc.) who would have normally slept in the house but for doing on night duty should be treated as usual members present in household on survey night.
[p. 17]
40.1 Visitors (i.e. guests of any member of household) who slept in the house on survey night are called visitors to household present on survey night.
40.2 In statements 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 of Form B Part 1, you have to fill in some particulars of usual members of household present on survey night, visitors to household present on survey night and usual members of household absent on survey night respectively.
42. Statement 1.1 usual members present on survey night
In this statement you should list out all usual members of household present on survey night. You should write down first the name of the head of household (refer definition given earlier in paragraph 41 Chapter 2). If the head of household was absent during the reference night, find out who was responsible for the household in the absence of the head of the household and record his or her name, provided this person slept in the household on survey night.
42.1 In entering the names in statement 1.1 it would be better if some system is followed. After entering the name and other particulars of the head of household, you should cover the near relations such as wife or husband of the head of the household, sons and daughters, each son's wife and children, each daughter's husband and children, then other relations such as brothers, sisters, mother, father, etc., of the head of the household, then domestic servants, if any etc. Such a system of listing and entering of particulars will ensure that omissions are avoided, particularly of small children. It will also help in crosschecking replies regarding age.
42.2 A word of caution: you should ask probing questions regarding relations such as unmarried sisters, parents, domestic servants, and children. Otherwise the head of the household may not indicate that there are such persons as usual members of the household present on the Survey night. Please make repeated enquiries about infants and very young children because they are often liable to be out of the count.
Column 5: living situation:
Mark, for the members of the household, if they are present or absent:
-A for absent residents
P5. Situation of residence
[] 2 Absent
c) Filling in pages 2 and 3
1. Columns P1 to P14: The whole population
These columns are to be filled in for all the members of the household: residents and visitors.
Ask the head of the household or the person who answers your questions to give you the names of all present and absent residents (for less than six months) of the household. Classify them under column P2 in the following order:
- Unmarried children of the head of the household whose mother does not live in the household
- Spouse of the head of the household followed by his or her unmarried children beginning with the oldest.
Where the head of the household is a polygamist, each of his wives must be followed by her unmarried children beginning with the oldest, if they are members of the household.
- Relatives of the head of me household or of his spouse(s): ascendants (father, mother, grandparents), descendants (grandchildren, great grandchildren) whose parents are not members of the household; collaterals (brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, cousins)
- Persons not related to the head of the household or to his spouse(s): friends, lodgers, house servants, employees who are members of the household
All these persons who are related or not to the head of the household will be followed if necessary by their spouse (s) and children if the latter are members of the household
If after such classification, the head of the household realizes that he has forgotten a resident member of the household, write down his name after the other resident members.
Once all the residents of the household have been listed, ask if there are visitors in the household. If so, also classify them as in the previous case.
After this inventory of the members, first fill in columns P1 to P5 for all the members and, as from column P6 fill in, line by line, the individual questions for each of them.
Column P5: Status of residence.
Note that this column concerns only resident members of the household. You should encircle one number for each member depending on whether he is present or absent.
Encircle 1 for present residents or 2 for absent residents. This column has already been filled for visitors.
As such, a person is considered a "resident" in the household if they have habitually lived there for 6 months or for less than 6 months but with the intention to stay more than 6 months (example: a newly married woman; a civil servant newly appointed and joined by his family). This variable allows us to class individuals based on their stay in the household.
The Codes of the terms of the living situation variable are:
A resident is considered a Present Resident if he spend the night before the first visit by the survey agent in the household. Nevertheless, a baby born the day of the visit by the surveying agent should be considered a present resident member of the household even if he is still in the hospital with his mother who is also considered a present resident in the household.
A resident is considered absent if he did not spend the night before the first visit by the surveying agent in the household. This absence should not exceed more than 6 months.
All non-resident individuals having spent the night before the first visit by the survey agent are considered visitors. The total length of his stay in the household should not exceed 6 months.
A person registered as an "absent resident' on the first visit keeps that status even if he returns to the household over the surveying period. This person can answer the question regarding himself. Similarly, a person with the status of "present resident" keep this status even if he travels after the first visit to the household. Thus after the first visit of the surveying agent, it is impossible to update the list of members of the household.
People working at night have the status of present resident if they spend the night before the first visit of the surveying agent in their place of work.
N.B. Residents being held at any type of police station will be surveyed in their normal household. Conversely, prisoners will be surveyed in their communal household. Those accompanying ailing non-residents will be surveyed in the communal household whereas those accompanying residents will be surveyed in their normal household.
If a resident slept in the dwelling the night prior to the census day, he is marked as Present, whether present or not at the time of enumeration.
If the resident did not sleep in the dwelling the night prior to the census day, he is marked as Absent, whether present or not at the time of enumeration.
Residents considered to be absent:
The following residents are not considered to be absent and are not included in the census form of their respective families:
If any of these persons slept in the dwelling the night prior to census day they are recorded as Non-residents.
Students who are living in another city or town, in country or abroad, for more than 6 months are considered to be Present Residents or Absent Residents in the place where they study.
Non-residents:
Non-residents are all of those who slept in the enumerated dwelling the night prior to the census day and who are not usual residents in the dwelling.
[p. 46]
Important note:
All those born before 12 midnight the night prior to the census day and all those who passed away after 12 midnight the night prior to the census day should be enumerated.
The name entered in the first line of column 15 is always the name of the head of the household. Hence in the first line in column 17 "head" will be entered and the remaining spaces under this column will be filled with the relationship each conventional member of the household has to the head. For example if the wife of the household head is registered next to the head then "wife" will be entered in column 17. If the head has more than one wife and his wives are members of his household, then when filling their relationship with the household head "first wife" is entered for the first wife, "second wife" for the second wife,?,etc. has to be entered in column 17.
When children's relationship with head of household is filled serial numbers of their father and mother have to be entered in combination. For example when the relationship of a son/daughter of the head and spouse with the head is filled, it has to be entered as "son or daughter of 01 and 02." For a son/daughter of head only, "Son/daughter of 01", etc. will be entered.
The following are used to fill this column for relatives. The head's father, spouse's mother, the head's brother or sister, heads father in law, head's mother in law, head's brother in law, head's sister in law, , ?, etc. With regard to non-relative members of the household, relationships to head of the household are expressed and entered as: house maid, cow boy, friend, dependent, etc. After the relationship of the household members with the head is correctly entered in the space provided in the column, the appropriate code is entered in card column 33 by choosing from the list of relationship codes given at top of the column. Types of relationship and their codes are given as follows.
15. Residence status
Before collecting information about household members, the definition of head of household and usual household member should be well appreciated. Therefore, the concept of household given in section 2 of chapter two should be appropriately understood.
A. Usual member of a household
A person is said to be a usual member of the household if he/she lives at least six months of the year continuously with the household. In addition, a person is considered to be a usual member of the household if he/she has the intention to live with the household forever even though he/she lived with the household less than six months. Persons who left their household temporarily for less than six months are considered as usual member of their households. However, persons are not considered as usual members of the household if they left their households for six months or more, or who left their households for less than six months but have the intention to leave for more than six months.
The following members of the household are considered usual household members:
B. Visitors
A visitor is any relative or non-relative person who is not a usual member of the household but spent the census night in the household.
C. Head of household
A head of household is a person who is a usual member (male or female) in the household acknowledged as head by the other members. If a man has two or more wives who live in separate households, he will be enumerated as head of the household with his oldest living wife (first married) if he is recognized as head. Other wives will be enumerated with their households as head or member of the households.
Column 13: Serial number of members of the household and visitors
The questionnaire has space to list up to ten members of a household. If the number of the members of the household is greater than ten, it is necessary to use an additional questionnaire. In this situation, the serial numbers given in column 13 (01-10) are corrected as 11, 12, 13, etc. until all members and visitors are listed.
Column 15: Residence status
The residence status of all members of the household and visitors should be asked and the appropriate code entered in the space provided. Three types of residence and their codes are given below.
3. Residence status
The following members of the household are considered as usual household members.
.
Orphanages, Boarding school students/ inmates of correctional facilities and other collective quarters.
Inmates of orphanages, Boarding school (including universities and colleges, which have lodging facilities), correctional facilities and other collective quarters (example: home for aged, monasteries ... etc.) should be enumerated as a member of the collective quarters during the census. However, person who are detained temporary in police station or in other temporal prison place should be counted as usual members of their households regardless the length of the time in these places.
B. Visitors
A visitor is any relative or non-relative person who is not a usual member of the household but spent the census night in the household.
Question 3:- Residence status
The residence status of all members of the household and visitors should be asked and the appropriate code should be shaded. The choices of the codes are given below.
5. Residence status
[] 2 Resident and absent for less than 6 months
[] 3 Persons who are visiting

The following persons or classes of persons should be counted as absent persons:
If an entire household is temporarily absent on Census Night, a Form E must be completed for the household. The Form E procedure ensures that members of the household who spend Census Night elsewhere in Ireland are enumerated at the location where they spend the night. See Section 4.2, page 45.
1.11 Present and absent persons
The census counts persons where they are on Census Night. Situations will arise where some or all persons in a household are absent from their home on Census Night.

Section 2 - Characteristics
5.20 General
Question 7 to 14, which comprise Section 2, provide some basic characteristics about the individual and are to be answered for all members of the population except those exempted as special cases. Special Cases are always handled by Special Census Takers and instructions for identifying and handling these Special Cases are given in Part 6.
5.25 Question 11 - Usual Residence - (a) Local or Foreign, (b) Parish in Jamaica
[Image omitted here]
This question, which is required for all persons except those enumerated as special cases, should be asked thus:
(b) If other household member or visitor: "Does (name of individual) live in this dwelling, by that I mean, does (name of individual) reside here all or most of the time?"
If the answer is "Yes" then score the answer at 11 (a) - This Household. When usual residence is not in the dwelling but elsewhere in Country, you will score against 11 (a) - "Elsewhere in Jamaica".
If the answer is "No", then you will have to apply the instructions, given to you at paragraph 3.14 concerning the definition of usual residence.
When usual residence is not in the dwelling, but elsewhere in Jamaica, you will first score against 11 (a) - Elsewhere in Country. For 11 (b) you will have to find out the parish in which the individual being enumerated usually resides. It may be the same parish in which you are working or it could be in another parish.
[p.41]

2. What is (the respondent's) residential statue?
The first two columns must be completed before entries are made anywhere else in the questionnaire.
107. Column 2: Present or absent
Members of the household and visitors are present if they spent the census night in the household. This includes members who ought to have slept in the household and were away on night duty such as nurses, night watchmen etc. or at a wake.
Absent members are those who did not spent the night in the household. These are usual members who were elsewhere in Lesotho, in the RSA or outside Lesotho and RSA.
For a member of the household please refer to paragraph 70.
Please code according to list.
11. What is (the respondent's) residential status?
80. Column 11: What is (name's) current residential status?
P8. What is the situation of residence of [the respondent]?
[] 2 Absent resident
[] 3 Visitor (go to the next person)
A resident is a person who has spent 6 months or more in his current place of residence, or who intends to stay there even if the amount of time he has already spent there is less than 6 months. If this person spent the night prior to the enumerator's visit in the town of the census he/she would be written down as: present resident [R.P.].
If the person did not spend the night prior to the enumerator's visit in the town, write down RAI if he/she was absent but in another place in Mali, or RAE if he/she was absent and outside of Mali in another country.
Comments: Do not enumerate absent residents who left the household more than six (6) months ago.
5. Housing Status
The fixed reference [time] for gathering information about the housing status is the night before the enumerator's visit to the household. The different categories of resident and visitor can be distinguished by referring to the night before the enumerator's visit. Refer to the definitions of Resident and Visitor given in the Concepts and write:
For absent residents, indicate as follows:
- RAE for any absent resident who is in a foreign country outside of Mali (Ivory Coast, Senegal, Guinea, France, etc...)
[The page may be cut off]
[Page 24]
Absent residents who left the country more than 6 months ago are not enumerated.
For visitors, indicate as follows:
- VE = for visitors from someplace outside of Mali.
Special cases:
- Civil servants who have just been transferred to a new place will be enumerated as present residents [RP] in the new place.
- Women who have left to give birth at their parents' will be indicated as visitors at their parents'. In the husband's house they will be indicated as RAI if the parents are in Mali or RAE if the parents are outside of Mali.
- Boarding school students; hospital residents; the incarcerated; and members of religious orders living in a convent will be enumerated in those institutions, which are called institutional households.
Housing Status for Nomad Households
All nomad households grouped together outside of their normal nomad corridor are considered present residents [RP] even if their stay is for fewer than 6 months.
Nonetheless, a member of a nomad household, as in the case described above, is considered as an absent resident [RA] if he lives outside of the household. In the same way a single individual who lives outside of his household will be recorded as a visitor in the place where he is enumerated (the place where he is seen). It should be clarified that the households living in their normal nomad area will be treated as sedentary households; only the geographical framework changes.
5. Residence status
[] 2 RA
[] 3 V
5. Column P5: Residence status
The reference date for collecting the data on the situation of residence is the night preceding the visit of the census enumerator in the household.
The various categories of resident, and the visitor status, will be determined according to this reference night. Then, refer to the definitions of Resident and of Visitor given in the concept section, and circle the number located before the letter corresponding to the situation:
[] 2 RA (Resident Absent)
[] 3 V (visitor).
Special Cases:
- The civil servants newly transferred to a new place will be enumerated as R.P. (code 1) in that place.
- Wives who left to deliver at their parent's homes shall be counted as Visitor in their parent's household, and R.A. to their husband household, then circle number 2.
- Pupils and students who live in boarding schools, hospitalized persons, convicts and people in re-education centers (jails, Bollé Center etc.), monks living in convents, will be enumerated in these institutions, as part of the institutional households.
Situation of Residence for Nomadic Households
Any nomadic household, grouped in a given location outside of his normal nomadic route will be considered as RP (code 1), even when the duration of stay is shorter than 6 months.
However, a member of a household in the case noted above will be considered R.A. if he or she lives outside of the household. Likewise, an isolated member of a household living outside of his or her household will be considered as a visitor in his or her place of enumeration (where he or she will be seen).
It should be specified that households living in their normal zone of nomadism will be treated as sedentary households, only the geographical area changes [sic].

[] 2 Usual residents in the household who did not spend the preceding night in the household.
[] 3 Visitors.
Resident Absent (RA)
A resident absent is a person who usually lives in the compound, but who was absent on the night preceding your visit in the household, and for a duration of less than 6 months.
However, the women who just left their household of origin (that of their parents) to join the household of their husband, the persons who are sent away for service, and these who just moved away will not enumerated as Resident-Absent (RA) in the household that they just left. Indeed, they do not belong to this household any longer, but to that they have joined, and in which they will be enumerated as Resident-Present (RP). Similarly, the household members who are absent for 6 months or more will not be enumerated in the household, whatever is their intention.
In conclusion, if the duration of the absence is longer than 6 months, you must not enumerate this person. This will generally be the case of women who left their usual residence (their village) for more than 6 months, and who will be found in urban areas where they work as maids. Similarly, if a person has moved, or if he or she was sent away for service, you shall not enumerate him or her in his or her household of origin, and this whatever the duration of his or her absence.
A usual resident, who has not spent the night preceding the visit of the census enumerator in the household, but who is present at the time of the interview is enumerated as Resident-Absent (RA).
The visitor (VIS)
A visitor is a person who is not a household member, but who spent the night preceding your visit in the household. A visitor, who stayed for 6 months or more shall be considered as "Resident-Present" (RP).
Note: The visitor is recorded after the other household members. After skipping a line, one will give the sequential number "00".
A child under 6 months of age, born or not in the household from parents who are visitors is also a "Visitor" and shall be recorded as such.
B08. Residence status
Circle: 1. RP, for resident present (see definitions and concepts);
Circle: 2. RA, for resident absent;
Circle: 3. VIS, for visitors and travelers.
Note: Enumerate as Resident Absent (RA) in the household persons such as: fishermen in the sea, flying staff in air companies or sailing staff in ship companies. Enumerate as Resident Present (RP) the servants who spent the night in the household. Persons who are traveling for a duration less than 6 months are counted as Resident Absent (RA); after 6 months of absence, they are no longer enumerated, and therefore shall not be recorded on the household form. Polygamous men who do not have a fixed residence (visiting husbands) are enumerated as resident (RP or RA) in the household of their first wife, and visitor (VIS) if they spent the night at the home of any of their other wives.

N. B: Identify as a resident absent from the household (RA), fishermen at sea, the navigating crew of airlines or maritime companies, and as RP [resident present] domestic servants who spend the night in the household. Persons travelling for a period of less than 6 months will be identified as RA; beyond 6 months, they will not be counted at all and therefore will not have to be recorded on the household questionnaire. Polygamists with no fixed residence are counted as residents (RA or RP) with the first wife, and as a visitor (Vis) if they spent the night with one of the other wives.
