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 512: Household member or former household member who moved into the village in the past year
Ask if there is any member or a former member of the household who has moved into the village in the past year. The moving-in event in this case is the reverse of that of the moving-out event. To be considered a person who has moved in, the person must intend to stay permanently or for an indefinite period. It is not necessarily the case that if a person moves into the village he will be considered a member of the household. Having guests or visitors who stay in the
[p. 79]
household more than 6 months does not necessarily mean that the household has a moving-in event in accordance with the civil registration system rules.
The rule about temporary visitors has not been adopted as a general rule by the civil registration system. In some areas there are rules that require that a guest must be reported to the head of the neighborhood association; however, this may be required more for neighborhood security than for recording vital events in the civil registration system.
If there is a moving-in event, circle code 1, and continue to the next question. If there is no moving-in event, circle code 2, and go to Q 515.
Question 513: Reporting a moving-in event to the village office
Ask if the move was reported to the village office or if the report has been processed so that the person has been recorded as a local resident. If every moving-in event was reported, circle code "1". If there were multiple events and only some were reported, circle code "2". If none of the events was reported, circle code "3", and go to Q 515.
