Interviewer instructions
G. Housing conditions and ownership of properties
These questions are about tools used in house construction, services available in this household (such as water, toilets, electricity), the total number of bedrooms used by the household, and ownership of properties. The head of household is asked these questions. If the head of household is absent, try to get another member of the household to answer these questions on behalf of the head of household.
Usually, if a household is using more than one house, all questions about the material used to construct the house and the electricity used in the house are to be asked for the main house where most household members live.
For Census purposes, a house is a building used by people for living. Workshops or store, places where people do not live, are not involved.
Note: Questions about house are to be asked to private households only. For collective households such as schools, hostels, camps, hospitals, etc. these questions should not be asked because they are not relevant.
Question 34: What energy do you use for lightning?
In this question we want to know the kind of energy used for lighting, especially at night. This information will help us know the total number of people using different kinds of energy for lighting. It will also help to establish the level of electricity supply in the country. Shade the codes according to the answers given by the respondent.
