Section III: Questions related to households and dwellings
Questions 1 to 12 in this section are to be asked of the household head or someone able to answer in his/her place.
The definitions of household and household head are provided below:
Household [housing unit]: Social entities made up of one or more persons, whether bound by kinship or not, living in the same dwelling or in a portion of the same dwelling, participating in the provision of service or management to the household, who make no distinctions among themselves in terms of their income or expenses.
A household may consist of one or more people.
Pursuant to the definition of household provided above:
Those, who despite being relatives and living in the same dwelling, do not contribute in providing services or to the management of the household, and those separating their income and expenses,
are considered to be a discrete household.
However, people living in the same house not sharing any kinship ties -- a student, a worker, etc. -- are to be considered as belonging to the same household. That person, from among these people declaring himself/herself to be the household head, or the one who is the oldest, or whoever is named in the rental contract of the dwelling they are living in, is to be regarded being the "Household head".
Household head: The household head is that person, from among members of the household who is the one generally responsible when it comes to the household's income and expenses and who is actually in charge of managing the household.
