[Section II was answered for all persons who selected living in occupied housing units in question I15]

P04. Relationship

Columns (P01) to (P20) -- These should provide particulars of all persons who slept in the household on census night. The questions therefore apply to all persons irrespective of age or sex, except P13 which applies to persons 5 years and above.

Column (P04) -- Relationship
87. Ask, "Who is this person to the head of household?" and ask further questions as necessary, making quite sure that you understand the relationship correctly before you make an entry. If you ask the question wrongly, you may for example have a situation in which a 'son/daughter' is recorded as 'father/mother'.

88. Enter the relationship of each person to the head of the household. Enter the code as appropriate (refer to code list) against the name of the person to signify his/her relationship to the head. There will be cases wherein respondents might want to include step or adopted children as their own children. Be tactful in making them understand that you are asking for their biological children and that all information they give you will be treated confidential.

89. There are cases when persons spent census night with a household but are not related to the members of that household. In such a case, enter the code "13" in the relationship column against the names of such persons indicating a "not related" case.

90. When you are sure that the list of names and relationships is complete and correct you may go on to complete the rest of the questionnaire.
