Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">6.8 Section VIII. Permanently absent</span>
<br />The purpose of this question is to find out the main reason why a person left.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Ask this question in all cases in which you have detected that a member of the household is no longer there, which may occur at any time, from the second to the fifth interview.<br />- Before asking the question, enter the line number of the person who left. If there are not enough lines to record all the people who left, use another sociodemographic questionnaire to record them.</div><p>Response option</p>
<p>01 Work
<br />In this option classify:
<br />People whose main reason for leaving the household was because they had found a better job or wanted to find one or improve their work status, which was only possible in another location.</p>
<p>02 Education
<br />People who have left the household because the campus where they went to school was in another place, such that they had to change their place of residence.</p>
<p>03 Married or common-law
<br />People who left as members of the household to establish a conjugal relationship and left the selected home.</p>
<p>04 Separated or divorced
<br />Those who have left the household because their conjugal relationship has been broken.</p>
<p>05 Health problems
<br />People who have had to leave the household to go live in another location to address their own health problems, or simply because they decided to isolate themselves due to the illness they suffer. Includes illnesses such as drug addiction, alcoholism.</p>
<p>06 Reunite with family
<br />People who have left the household in question, because they had to go live with the rest of the family.</p>
<p>Includes cases in which a person left because they were adopted or taken in by another household, regardless of the reason.</p>
<p>07 Public insecurity
<br />The members of the household left it because they considered the home or environment in which they lived to be unsafe or toxic for their personal and social development: assault, robbery, kidnapping, gangs, drug addiction; environmental contamination, the presence of natural or man-made disasters, etc.</p>
<p>08 Death
<br />People who have ceased to be members of the household for this reason.</p>
<p>09 Other reason

<p>People of advanced age who have left the household because they decided to go to a nursing home or another person's home and even those who have been sent by a third party to this type of establishment or to another place.</p>
<p>People who had personal problems with any or all of the members of the household, for example, people who left the household because they experienced aggression inside or outside of their household. For example, a child who decided to escape the home because they were mistreated by their parents.</p>
<p>Exclude from this option those cases in which the reason for having left the household was a marital conflict, as this is classified in option 04.</p>
<p>People who had to leave the home due to problems in their community, for example, a young person who committed a robbery in his neighborhood and had to flee.</p>
<p>When assigning this code, you will have to specify the reason on the line provided for that purpose.</p>
