Relationship to the household reference person (description) and relationship to the household reference person (column 8)

The text for the household reference person, entered in row 01, is already entered. The code of the relationship in column 8 is also already determined and entered.

If more than one person lives in the private household, the enumerator must determine for each person the relationship to the household reference person and enter in column 8 the code of the relationship. The list of codes for coding the relationship is on the last page of Guidelines for Enumerators.

Child (son/daughter) is entered by the enumerator for every child living in the household with one or both parents. The age of the child is no important. It is only important that the child has never been married or that the child does not live in a consensual union with another person. It is also not important whether the reference person is the child's biological father/mother, which means that the answer "child" is entered by the enumerator also for the child(ren) of the spouse or partner and for all adopted children.

If the entered relationship to the household reference person is not specially mentioned in the list of codes (e.g. aunt, uncle), the enumerator enters in column 8 code 12 (other relative).

[p. 25]

For persons who are not members of the household in which they temporarily live, the enumerator enters temporarily present and code 60 in column 8.

For persons temporarily living abroad for more than a year, the enumerator enters in column 8 code 61, irrespective of the relationship to the reference person.

A person temporarily living abroad while other members live in his or her household must not be entered as the household reference person.

If the entire household is temporarily living abroad, the enumerator enters all persons into the POM/GO List of persons in the household as other private households. For all household members code 61 must be entered in column 8. The already entered code 00 for the household reference person should be crossed and left of the field code 61 should be entered.


8 Relation to the household reference person

The data are copied by the enumerator from column 8 of the POM/GO List of persons in the household for all persons, irrespective of whether they are household members or they are only temporarily present in the household/dwelling.

For a person living in the household alone (a single household), the enumerator always enters code 00.

For persons who according to Guidelines for Enumerators are not entered into the POM/GO List of persons in the household (institutional households), the enumerator enters data directly on the P-3 Census questionnaire for persons so that the first person in the institutional household gets code 20 and all other persons in the institutional household get code 21.

For persons who are not household members and who according to Guidelines for Enumerators are not entered into the POM/GO List of persons in the household, the enumerator enters for all persons code 60 directly on the P-3 Census questionnaire for persons.
