In most cases it will be obvious who is the head of the household. Usually it is the person who is the chief bread winner or the one who makes major decisions for that household. In any event the person recognized by the members of the household as the head will be accepted as such for census purposes. It is to be noted that the head may be of either sex. Avoid any bias in sex when determining headship.

In the case of a group of unrelated persons sharing a dwelling on an equal basis, take that member of the group as the head whom the others acknowledge as such.

A person who manages a guest house or similar establishment that caters for less than six [6] guests is considered the head of that household.

You are to include, as members of the household, inmates of clinics, hospitals, prisons, etc. who would have been inmates for less than six months as at census day, 12th May, 1980.
