Interviewer instructions

This question asks how long the woman has been living in the locality where she is living at the time of the interview, i.e., her current place of residence. Here, “living continuously” means without having moved away from a locality. For example, if the respondent has been away from her home only on visits, these periods should not count as having lived away. If she has moved from one dwelling to another within the same neighborhood, it also does not count.

If she has always lived in her current place of residence (that is, she has never lived in any other locality since she was born), select 'SINCE BIRTH.' If she is a visitor, select 'VISITOR'. If either 'SINCE BIRTH' or 'VISITOR' is selected, the two code boxes should be left blank.

If she has lived in other places, ask her to count how many years she has been living continuously in her current place of residence (how many years have passed since she moved to this locality). Record her answer in by selecting 'MONTHS' and 'YEARS' then entering the duration in the boxes.

Example: If the answer is “three and one-half years,” you will select 'YEARS' and write '03', then select 'MONTHS' and write '06'. If the answer is less than one year, enter the duration in the boxes for months.
