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 4 (KT4)
The test question is intended to identify people aged from 15 to 39 (born from April 1979 to March 2004) to proceed to Question 21; for people aged 40 and over, DTV asks Question 23.

In case the month of birth cannot be identified (the month of birth in Question 4 is recorded as "98"), DTV proceeds to Question 21 for people born between 1980 and 2004.

Question 22: How old was [the respondent] according to the solar calendar when getting married for the first time?
The question is only intended for people who do not remember the year of their first marriage (Question 21, select code "9998").

The question is intended to collect information about the rounded solar age of DTDT at the first marriage. Therefore, when DTDT answers about their age at first marriage, DTV has to ask "Is it according to the lunar calendar or solar calendar?." If DTDT answered that it is according to the lunar calendar, DTV must subtract 01 to get the age according to the solar calendar (because the age according to the lunar calendar is usually 1 year more than the solar calendar).

In case DTDT cannot remember his/her age at the first marriage, DTV can use relevant records, and documents (for example: marriage certificate) or discuss with other members of the household to inquire about the age of DTDT at the first marriage.
