Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form

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.

Test 3 (KT3)
The test question is intended to identify people 15 years of age or older (born before April 2004) to inquire about marital status; for people under 15 years old, DTV asks for the general information of the next person.

Question 20: What is [the respondent]'s current marital status?
The question is intended to collect information about DTDT's current marital status (i.e., at the time of census on April 1, 2019). A person's marital status can only fall into one of the following five categories:

- Unmarried: The status of a person who has never been married or has never lived with a person of the opposite sex as a spouse.
- Married: The status of a person currently recognized by local law or custom as having a spouse or living with a person of the opposite sex as a spouse.
- Widowed: The status of a person who is not currently remarried after their spouse has died.
- Divorced: The status of a person who was once married, but is currently divorced (decided by the court) and is not currently remarried.
- Separated: The status of a person recognized by local law or custom as having a spouse but is currently not living with their spouse as husband/wife.

Note: It is necessary to distinguish between a couple who are separated and people who live away from their spouse for reasons such as working or a business trip away from home (even working abroad) for a long time. These people still have the status of "Married".
