Interviewer instructions
7.5 Block V.A. Reporting vital events
This block is used to record whether there is a Family Card in the household and to measure the level of awareness of the population in reporting births, deaths and relocations to the village office.
Question 509: Household member or former household member who moved out of the village in the past year
Ask if there is any member or former member of the household who has moved out of the village in the past year. Moving means leaving the village with the intention to reside in another village for an indefinite period of time. Specifically, it is not necessarily the case that if a person moves out of the village he will no longer be considered a member of the household. A household which has a member who is temporarily away, even though for more than 6 months, is not considered to have a moving-out event in accordance with the civil registration system rules. Moreover, to be away temporarily a person may only need a letter of travel rather than a letter of relocation.
[p. 78]
If there is a moving-out (relocation) event, then circle code "1" and continue to the next question. If no one has moved out, circle code "2", and go to Q 512.
Question 510: Reporting moving-out event to the village office
Ask if the move was reported to the village office. If every move was reported, then circle code "1". If there were multiple events and only some of the moves were reported, then circle code "2". If none of the moves was reported, circle code "3", and go to Q 512.
