Interviewer instructions
P01. All members of the household
On reaching the household you should establish all members of the household who slept at the household the night before you arrived. These members are referred to as "Present members". List their names serially starting with the head of the household. After these members have been listed ask the respondent if there are other household members that usually stay in the household but did not sleep in the household prior to your arrival, herein referred to as Absent Members. If there are, then list their names, (See definition of "Present" and "Absent" members on page 8). Then list the names of visitors who slept in the household last night. Please note that in this case, age sequence does not matter. However, for the listing of present members, it will be convenient if the listing is ordered starting with the spouse, eldest son/daughter, other relative and non-relative. If more than 8 members are present in the household, use a Continuation Sheet. All usual members of the household absent should be listed if they have been absent for less than 6 months.
Write two names for each household member in the spaces provided, starting with the first name followed by the surname. If a small child has no name, write "Baby" as the first name, e.g. "Baby Phiri". Remember to include all visitors (who spent a night in the household) or a servant (if he/she lives in the household). Record information of visitors on questions P2 to P8 only.
List all the household members first before starting individual questions (P2 onwards). All information about members of the household should be provided by the head of the household or the most responsible person in the household.
When asking questions, start with the person on P1 who is a head of the household and ask questions P2 to P27. Ask questions P28 to P29 for men and women aged 12 years or older and ask questions P30 to P33 for women age 12 years or older. For men and women younger than 12 years, go to the next person. When you finish with persons, ask about dwelling units (DUs).
