Section 2 Migration

Question 8[a] - Usual residence-all persons

The response positions for this question are laid out in four fields
[1] This address
[2] Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago
[3] Abroad
[9] Not stated
Please note the skip instructions.
If the response is 1 i.e. This address, skip to question 9. If 2 i.e. Elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago, go to question 8[b], as directed on the questionnaire. For persons whose usual residence is abroad, you are to skip to question 9. Use the "Not stated" box to refer to persons who refuse to state their usual residence, before skipping to question 9.
Although most persons will have no difficulty in stating their place of usual residence, some confusion is bound to arise in a number of special cases where persons may appear to have more than one [1] usual residence. These cases might include persons who maintain two or more residences, students living in school away from their parental home, members of the armed forces living at a military barracks but still maintaining private living quarters away from the installation and persons who sleep away from their homes during the working week but return home for a few days at the end of the week. To avoid such problems take the place where the individual sleeps most nights of the week as his/her usual residence.
