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 6: What ethnicity does [the respondent] belong to?
If DTDT answers other ethnic group, DTV asks and records the name of the ethnicity commonly used in the locality (ethnic branch) and the name of the main ethnicity on the solid lines, and relies on the "List of Vietnamese ethnicities" in Appendix 2 to enter the appropriate code. Record like the following example: DTDT declares that the ethnicity is "Trieu Chau." DTV writes "Trieu Chau (Hoa)" and then records the ethnicity code as "04".
Some cases of ethnicity identification:
- For people who are biological or adopted children of parents not of the same ethnicity, the ethnicity of the child is identified according to the agreement of the parents. In case the parents cannot agree, record the father's ethnicity (according to the provisions of the Civil Code).
- For matrilineal ethnicity, write the name of the child's ethnicity according to the mother's ethnicity.
[p.45]- For an illegitimate child, the child's ethnicity is recorded according to the mother's ethnicity. In case the illegitimate father acknowledges the child and agrees to declare his name on the child's birth certificate, and at the same time this is accepted by the mother, DTV records the child's ethnicity according to the father's ethnicity.
- For foreigners who have obtained Vietnamese citizenship, DTV records their ethnicity according to their original nationality in the form of Vietnamese transliteration. For example: New Zealand, America or the United States of America.
For example: For a person whose original nationality is American, DTV writes "American" in the blank box then records code "55" (foreigner).
