HOUSEHOLD REGISTER

______

Please can you give me the details of all the people who live in this household?

When I say household I mean a person or group of persons who usually cook, eat and live together. These people may or may not be related by blood, but make common provision for food or other essentials for living and they have only one person whom they regard as head of household. If someone has not lived with the household continuously for at least six months during the past 12 months he/she is not regarded as a household member for the purpose of the survey.

  • Record exact age of all males and females in the household in the grid below in order of oldest to youngest (including babies & children).
  • Record the name and gender next to the age of each member of the household.
  • Record respondent selected for interview from KISH table in column provided.
  • Only respondents 18 years and older qualify for the interview.
