Interviewer instructions

In this column should be recorded the relationship of each individual to the head of the household by using the codes set down in the form. The respondent may not sometimes be the head of the household. This point should be verified before recording the code, because what is required is the relationship to the head of the household and not to the respondent.

Description

Definition

Head of the household is the individual who is responsible for managing the household's affairs socially and economically. It can be the father, mother or the eldest brother. The head of the household is not necessarily the economic provider; the son may be the only person with a paid employment in the household, but management of the household is undertaken by the father. In such a case the father is the head of the household.
