Question 6: To what ethnic group does [the respondent] belong?
If the respondent is Kinh, the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "1".

If the respondent is not Kinh, the enumerator marks (x) in the small box next to code "2". After that, write down the name of the respondent's ethnic group on the printed line, and use the "List of ethnic groups in Vietnam" in Appendix 10 to choose the code corresponding to that ethnic group to fill in the 2 boxes.

[Graphic example omitted]

For a person who is a biological or adopted child of a married couple where the husband's ethnic group is different from the wife's one, then the ethnic group of their child is defined by an agreement of his/her parents. In case his/her parents did not reach an agreement, his/her ethnic group is taken according to his/her father's ethnic group (the Civil Law).

For ethnic groups that follow the matriarchy, record the ethnic group for the child according to that of his/her mother.

For the child of an unmarried woman, his/her ethnic group is recorded according to his/her mother's ethnic group. In case there is a man who recognizes the child as his child and agrees to record his name in the child's birth certificate, and this is accepted by the mother, then the ethnic group of the child is recorded according to the ethnic group of the father.

For a foreigner whose ethnic group is Vietnamese, then his/her ethnic group is recorded according to his/her original nationality.

For example, if a person whose original nationality is American, then write down "American" in the space on the printed line.
