B. Questions for all the people
This part involves all people who slept in the household the night before census day. The questions in this part are also found in the short questionnaire.
The questions in this part must be asked to every person following the order set. You must follow the flow of questions as arranged and read the question as written in the questionnaire. For more explanation, refer explanations in part 3.7 (how to ask questions).
Part "B" of the questionnaire contains the following questions:

Questions 1-4: Person number, name, relationship, and gender
The first step in filling this part is getting the list of all people who slept in the household the night before Census day and their relationship to the head of the household. It is better if you list the names in the order explained below to get the real situation of the household. You must list starting with the head of the household and shade in the space provided, then other members of the household who slept in the household the night before Census day. If there are more than six people, indicate in the space provided that extra questionnaires are used. After listing all the household members, continue interviewing the head of the household the remaining questions using the first questionnaire.
In order for you to get a correct list of all people in the household, you must know the meaning of a household.
For Census objectives, household is a person or people who live together and eat together. This is not the same as family. A family is for people who are related but household is people who live and eat together, even when they are not related. For example, three people who are not blood related (example, friends) but live and eat together; they will be regarded as a household although they are not a family.
At times it is difficult to know who is to be included in the household and who is to be left out. The following examples elaborate this situation:

• A man who has two wives who live in different places. Although the man will claim to live in both houses he will be enumerated in the house he slept the night before the census day.
• It is possible that a woman who said that the husband is the head of the household and later realized that he did not sleep in the house the night before census day though he lives there. If the husband did not sleep in the household the night before census day, he will not be listed in that household. Therefore, the wife will be the head of the household, for census purposes.

[p. 24]

• Sometimes, a person may be eating in one household and sleeping in another. This person will be listed in the household he slept in the night before census day.
• A person who lives alone will be listed in a private household of his own.
• A house maid: she/he will be listed in the household she/he slept in the night before census day.

Note: every person listed in the household must have slept in that household the night before census day.
When the respondent is listing the names of members of the household, write those names in column 2 of the Census questionnaire: [write] one person's full name in each line.

Start with the head of the household, meaning the one who is responsible for the household or the one recognized by the members as the head of the household or the leader of the household. Shade each line on column "1" that matches every member of the household.
Start by asking "who is the head of the household" and then write his/her name in column "2" of the questionnaire. Then, ask and list down the names of all the people who slept in the household the night before census day.
It is important to list the names in an acceptable order to get the real picture of the household. Start with the name of the head of the household - who is either a man or a woman - then the husband or wife, children, and other relatives. Then, finish with the ones who are not his/her relatives. Most of the time, children are forgotten or left out intentionally, thinking they are not important. All the people who slept in the household the night before census day must be listed. Make sure all the infants are listed. If he/she is not given a name yet, write "child of [name of the mother]".
[p.25]
When writing the names in question "2", shade to show everyone's relationship to the head of the household in question "3" and their gender in question "4". This will simplify your work.
The following codes are the ones used in showing the relationship of members to head of the household:
Relationship

Where people are not blood related, but they have joint responsibilities in managing the household, take one as the head of the household and another as "other person", using code number 7. In institutions like hospitals, boarding schools, or prisons where there is no head of the household, they should be listed as students, prisoners, patients, etc. The first to be listed is the one who will be given the relationship code number "1" which is for the head of the household and the rest will be given relationship code "7" which is for "other people". Make sure you shade the appropriate space.
Note: Write the relationship of the listed person to the head of the household using codes provided. Be careful when shading the relationship codes, especially when the one answering the questions is not the head of the household. When that happens make sure the relationship you are shading is of the members and the head of the household and not with the one answering the questions.
[p. 26]
For example, if the one interviewed is the wife of the head of household and says that "Changumi" is her son who she had with another man, then the relationship of "Changumi" with the head of household will be of code number "7" meaning "other person" and not of biological child.
Make sure that you understand their relationship before writing in the questionnaire.
