Whom to Enumerate
As in past population censuses, enumerators in POPCEN 2007 were
provided with guidelines on whom to list as members of a household. This will

to be included in the enumeration or excluded from it. Furthermore, this will
ensure that there is no omission or duplication in the enumeration of persons and
households during census-taking. The following are the guidelines in determining
household membership:

last departure. These include overseas workers who are on vacation in
