P- 15: How long has [the respondent] been living continuously in (name of the current place of residence)?

A person can live in the same district from birth without moving. Others may move from district to district, changing residence over time. For those who move, it is possible to keep coming back to the same district. What we are interested in is the length of their present unbroken or continuous residence in this district. Enter the number of completed years in the first two boxes and the number of months in the next two boxes. For those who have not completed a month yet, enter 00 in the boxes for years and 00 in the boxes for months. If the period that the household member has been living continuously in the current place of residence is the same as that of the head of the household, shade the small box provided and do not enter anything in the boxes for years and months.

Example:
Suppose you are in Chinsali District and you come across a person who was born in Serenje District and

lived there until 1991. This person then went to live in Chinsali District where he/she stayed up to 2000, after which he/she moved to Mansa District and then returned to live in Chinsali District in June 2004 where he/she is living up to now. His/her continuous period of residence in this district is from June, 2004 to October 2010 that is 6 years and 4 months. Enter Shade 06 and 04 in the respective boxes. You are not to consider the period of his/her previous residence in the district, eg, the period from 1991 to 2000.
