Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.
The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.
Question 2: How is [the respondent] related to the head of the household?
Relationships with the head of the household include:
- Spouse: A person who is recognized by local law or custom as having a wife (or a husband), or living with a person of the opposite sex as a spouse. If a person has 2 or more wives (husbands) living together in 1 household, these people are all identified as the wives (husbands) of the head of the household.
[p.42]Note: If the head of the household has 2 or more spouses living together in 1 household, these persons are all identified as the spouses of the head of the household.
- Biological children: A person born by the head of the household.
- Paternal/maternal grandchildren: A grandchild of the same bloodline as the head of the household, born by the biological child (son or daughter) of the head of the household.
- Parents: The person who gave birth to the head of the household, the parents of the spouse, the father-in-law/mother-in-law of the head of the household, or the adoptive parents of the head of the household or the spouse.
- Other family relationships: A person who has a family or biological relationship but is not the spouse, biological child or parents of the head of the household. For example: Adopted child, stepchild of the spouse, grandparents, brother/sister, aunt/uncle, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, etc.
- No family relationship: A person who is not related by blood, marriage, adoption, or family/relatives to the head of the household. For example: Friends, employees, tenants, domestic helpers, etc.
For example: A family has 4 people, including 2 adults who are both soldiers, their eldest child is 10 years old and the second child is 5 years old. In this case, DTV recorded Question 2 as follows: the eldest child is "The head of the household" and the second child is "Other family relationships."
