Interviewer instructions
1. Relationship
We are interested in finding out the relationship that exists between the head and the rest of people who make up their household; for example: wife, son, grandfather, sister-in-law, godmother, friend, among others.
You should always ask about the relationship with the head of household and not with the informant, unless the informant is the head. Remember that there should only be one head of family and that this person can be a man or a woman.
For the first person of the list, do not read this question, only confirm that this person is the head and circle code 1. For the rest of the residents, mention the name of the person about whom you are going to ask.
[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a related drawing]
If they did not declare a head of household, ask the relationship to the first person on the list and circle code 1 for this person.
When the relationship to the head is other than spouse, companion, or child, write the relationship that they report on the line Other, for example: father, niece, granddaughter, brother-in-law, godson, among others. Do not write down proper names: "Sandra's aunt," "Manuel's grandmother," etc. Also write in this space non-family relationships with respect to the head. For example: not related, friend, no family relationship, etc.
[P. 65]
If on this question they report the relationship as "guest" or "border," record the person as such and continue asking about the data for this person.
When they use the word "companion," find out if they refer to a relationship between a couple. if so, circle code 2. If they are work, study, or living companions write friend or no relation under the option other.
When domestic servants live in the household, write down the name of the occupation that they have in the dwelling, for example: domestic employee, servant, nanny, housekeeper, gardener, driver or other. If there are also family members of those domestic servants, write, for example: son of the servant, mother of the doorkeeper, husband of the servant, or the relationship which corresponds to them.
