Interviewer instructions
G. Information of the people
169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.
When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.
In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."
I. General characteristics of all people
The questions included in this chapter are for knowing the distribution of the population by sex, age and civil state; their territorial distribution and movements made within the country in the last 5 years.
You should ask the questions in this chapter to all people who are to be enumerated in the home.
218. Question no. 7 is: "In what locality or place did you begin living habitually when you were born?"
With this question we look to get information about the locality or place that constituted the first habitual residence of the person being enumerated. It is, generally, the home of their parents at the moment of birth of this person. Consequently, the place or locality of the hospital, sanitarium, or private house where, eventually, the mother moved for the birth of the enumerated person should not be written down.
219. To register the information corresponding to this question, follow the same criteria as for no. 6 (paragraph 214)
220. While enumerating Mr. López in Tranqueras, who always lived there, he declares to have been born in Rivera, where his mother moved with the purpose of receiving adequate medical assistance.

222. If a person who you are enumerating was born in this country, go directly to question number 8; but if they declare to be born abroad, you should ask the year of arrival in Uruguay to live here.
