What is the kinship relation (Name) has with the head of the household or the person of reference?

Record the kinship that the person surveyed has with the head of the household or reference person.

  • head of the household or reference person
  • pouse or partner
  • on/daughter of both
  • on/daughter only of the head
  • on/daughter of the spouse or partner
  • on/daughter-in-law
  • father/mother
  • father/mother-in-law
  • brother/sister
  • brother/sister-in-law
  • grandson/granddaughter
  • other relative
  • other non-relative
  • domestic help or family thereof
  • member of a collective household

Keep in mind the following cases:

  • "son/daughter of both" or "son/daughter of the spouse or partner" is only possible if a head or reference person and the spouse/companion habitually reside in the household.
  • If it deals with an adopted child, register him/her in the same way as the biological children in the category that corresponds (son/daughter of both, son/daughter only of the head, son/daughter of the spouse or partner).
[p. 94]
  • For the option "domestic help" the people that live in the dwelling permanently are recorded ("domestic help with bed") and additionally, do not have another household of reference.
  • If it deals with a collective household, all of its habitual residents should be classified as "members of the collective household."
  • If you find households composed of a couple that is separated or divorced but continues sharing the dwelling and at least the food costs, include the ex-couple in the option "other non-relative." If there are children residing in the dwelling, they must be counted as "son/daughter of the head."
