Interviewer instructions
Place of birth
46. In this census, the birthplace of a person is the place of usual residence of the person's mother at the time of his or her birth. For instance, if a woman is living in Blantyre with her employed husband and the child is born in a Blantyre hospital, you will take Blantyre as the district of birth of her child. If the mother went to her parents' home in Mzimba for the birth you should still take Blantyre as the district of birth. Similarly, you will not take Thyolo just because the mother went to Malamulo Hospital from Blantyre for the birth. She is not normally resident there and the district of birth is Blantyre. If a child whose parents are foreigners is born in Malawi, you should take the town or district in which the mother was resident at the time of the birth as the place of birth.
47. For persons born in Malawi, you are required to find out the name of the TA (Chief), STA (Sub Chief) or town of birth within the district of birth which has been reported. For persons born outside Malawi, you should ask only for the country in which they were born.
