Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">6.9 Section IX. New residents</span></p>
<p><span class="em">Question 22</span>
<br />The purpose of this question is to find out the main reason why a person arrived.
<br />Instructions:
<br />- Before asking the question, enter the line number of the person who arrived. If there are not enough lines to record all the people who arrived, use another questionnaire to record them.</p>
<p>Response option
<br />01 Work
<br />In this option classify:
<br />People whose main reason for joining the household was to find a job or to improve their work status, which was only possible in another location.</p>
<p>02 Education
<br />People who have joined 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 />The people joined the household when they established a conjugal relationship with one of the residents of the selected home.</p>
<p>04 Separated or divorced
<br />Those who joined the household did so after breaking their conjugal relationship.</p>
<p>05 Health problems
<br />People who have arrived in the household with the intention of addressing health problems.</p>
<p>06 Reunite with family
<br />People who have joined the household because they decided to be with the rest of their family.
<br />Includes cases of adoption.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p.146]</span></p>
<p>07 Public insecurity
<br />The members of the household joined 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 Birth
<br />People who have joined the household for this reason.</p>
<p>09 Was omitted
<br />Those who were not entered as members of the household one or more prior interviews due to error.</p>
<p>Before recording the person as omitted, be sure it is really an omission, by asking when the person arrived. Compare the date of the interview against the date of the trimester in which they were supposedly omitted, as it could be a new resident.</p>
<p>10 Other reason
<br />Those who have joined the household for reasons other than those considered in the preceding options: the spouse did not want to leave the paternal home, a person of advanced age or a sick person who had no one to care for them in their home of origin.</p>
<p>Those who have left another household after having suffered or committed acts of violence against the members of that home, which is why they joined this one.</p>
<p>Those who have joined this household after losing or not having their own home, either because they recently formed a family, their financial situation did not allow them to pay, at least, the rent for their own place to live.</p>
<p>When assigning this code, you will have to specify the reason on the line provided for that purpose.</p>
<div class="i1">- Sequence to follow. If you assign code 08 irth, end the interview for this person; if you assign any other code, go to the next question.</div>
