Household

A household can consist of a single person living on his own (a one-person household) or of more persons living together, - in the latter case: in informal domestic relations.

Criterion for ‘informal domestic relations’ is, that mutual agreements have been made for the purchase of food and other living necessities and that everyone is using the main room of the house (the living room) and the kitchen together.

Persons with a variable address, who are not a member of one particular household, will be interviewed in the household where they are staying at the moment of interview.
Persons living (or who will live) in an institution (a prison, a mental institution, etc.) for at least a year outside of their household will not be considered a member of that particular household.
Children studying abroad will not be included in the household -and not included in the census.
