Interviewer instructions

P07. Living in this town or village since birth: Has (name) been living in this town or village since birth?

You should ask this question only of those persons who answer 'Yes' in P05 (i.e. born in this town or village). You should note that persons who have temporarily been absent from their place of birth or who are normally absent for periods less than one year (e.g. seasonal workers who return after a season and students in boarding schools elsewhere or traders absent for short periods) should be regarded as having lived in this town or village since birth. When a person answers 'No', you should probe further to get the right response.
