[Questions 1 to 12a]
Question No. 1: What kinship or relationship do you have to the head of the household?
This question is asked to know the kinship or relationship between the head and the other members of the household.
Kinship: it is the tie that members of a particular census household have to the head. This may be based on consanguinity, affinity or custom ties, adoption, and work, among others.
Data from the first person on the questionnaire will always correspond to the head of household and should not be used to fill the data of another household member.
Mark with an "X" in the circle agreeing with the respondent's answer. If you are interviewing the head of household, mark the circle [circle 01] and do not ask this question
In cases of children who cannot answer for themselves or of any person who is not present at the time of the visit, ask this question as follows: What kinship or relationship does [Name of the person] have to Mr. (Mrs.) [head of the household]?
[p. 118]
With this question it should be kept in mind that:
Head (Circle 01): refers to a person recognized as such by the rest of the members of the home.
In the case that there is no agreement between the members, the person who has the economic responsibility should be considered as the head of household. When there are many who contribute economic responsibility, consider as head the person who contributes the most. When the home is formed by unrelated members, consider as head the oldest person in the home.
When the person recognized as head of household is absent, one who satisfies the requirements of the definition, in other words, one who is recognized as "head" of the household or who upholds any of the conditions in their absence will be considered to be head.
Spouse of the Head (Circle 02): refers to the wife or companion if the head is male or the husband or companion if the head is female. This relationship permits any type of matrimonial relation, that is to say that the pair can be married civilly, ecclesiastically, or [consensually] united. In the same household you can find more than one spouse; write them down as such.
Son (daughter) (Circle 03): refers to the children born of the marriage or the consensual union, as well as to adopted children or children raised there.
Son and daughter-in-law (Circle 04): refers to the spouse of the children of the head.
Grandchild or great-grandchild (Circle 05): Mark this circle if it concerns the children of the children of the head or the grandchildren of the head.
Father or mother of the head (Circle 06): refers to the mother or father of the head. Mark this circle, even, when it concerns the father or mother of the head who raised her or adopted her.
Mother or father-in-law (Circle0 7): refers to the father or mother of the spouse of the head.
Other relatives (Circle 08): Include siblings, brothers and sisters-in-law, godfathers, cousins, godsons and daughters; both of the head or the spouse, etc.
In the corresponding line, write down the relationship that the respondent has with the head of the household.
[p. 120]
Domestic service (Circle 09): Refers to domestic servants. These are persons working at the household being enumerated, doing domestic chores and who receive payment in cash and / or in kind for their work; examples: domestic employee, gardener, driver or chauffeur, cook, housekeeper, majordomo, among others.
