Interviewer instructions
4.2.3 Household characteristics
These characteristics refer exclusively to single family [private] households.
The first two questions of this part of the ballot will be answered by the enumerator using simple observation, before introducing themselves to the occupants of the household; however, if there are any doubts, they can consult with the informant in the household.
3. Occupation of the household
What is the occupation status of the household?
a) Occupied household:
With people present:
This option will be marked when at the time of the household visit at least one person with the ability to provide information about the occupants of the house and the interview will be proceeded with.
Without people:
This is a household which during the time of enumeration is occupied, but at the moment of the census visit no one capable of providing information is home. Nevertheless, the enumerator will ask neighbors at what point they think that it will be possible to encounter the occupants and they will make at least two more visits.
