31. What is your relationship with the household head?

The kinship relationship that the person being interviewed has with the head of the household will be registered.

In the case where there are children in the household, you must keep in mind that the option "Child of both" or "Child of the spouse" is only possible if the head and the spouse are found present. If the person declares spontaneously that it deals with an adopted child, record it in the same way as the biological children, in the category that corresponds (of both, of the spouse, and of the head).

[p. 36]

It is necessary to verify the consistency between the different relationships and ages:
  • For "Child of both", there should not be a difference of fewer than 14 years [between the child and] the head and his/her spouse
  • For "Child of the head", there should not be a difference of fewer than 14 years [between the child and] the head
  • For "Child of the spouse", there should not be a difference of fewer than 14 years [between the child and] the spouse
  • For "Grandchild", there should not be a difference of fewer than 30 years [between the child and] the head


In the category "Domestic worker", record those cases in which the person permanently lives in the household, that is to say, the cases known as "Domestic worker with bed" and who do not have another household of reference.
