15. Relationship to the household head
(Enter as "guests" those who do not stay in this house permanently.)
____
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (11-42)
This section includes questions (questions 11-42) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted.
Whether or not the household head is at home, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from question 11 to question 42). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section is identical to the one written in in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, also write down all the characteristics of the other household members at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write onto the dotted line in printed letters, in order of their ages, the names surnames and all the characteristics of those, who, while being present at home, are not household members. Answer questions with a box, by placing an "X" into it.
Question 15: What is your degree of kinship to the household head?
(For those not living in this home continuously, write "Guest")
Write down the kinship relationship to the household head of the members of the household for which the census is being conducted. In obtaining answers about the degree of kinship, pay attention to the following guidelines
- Among those belonging to the same household who are at home at the time of the census, clearly denote the kinship relationship to the household head of those related to him/her by kinship. For example: After writing "H.H.H." for the household head him/herself, for the others, write spouse, son, daughter, mother, father, daughter-in-law, grandchild, maternal uncle, and so on, according to the relationship.
- For people belonging to the same household, who have no kinship tie to the household head, write "None".
- For people not belonging to the household who are also being administered the census together with the household (whether a relative or not of the household head), write "Guest".
- For people such as a son, daughter, daughter-in-law visiting their father on census day, but who belong to a separate household write "Guest" regardless of the kinship relationship to the household head.
- For places where people are located at the time of the census that do not constitute a household (a military post, a jail, a hospital, a train, a boat, a bus, a terminal, a hostel, a school, a dormitory, etc.) enter "X" for this question.
