Population and Housing Census 2008 - IPUMS Subset - Malawi

Abstract
---------------------------

IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system.

The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

Household

UNITS IDENTIFIED:
- Dwellings: No
- Vacant units: No
- Households: Yes
- Individuals: Yes
- Group quarters: Yes
- Special populations: Yes (Homeless)

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS:
- Dwellings: A dwelling unit may be defined as any structure; permanent, semi permanent or traditional where people live and sleep. It may be a hut, house, stores with a sleeping room or rooms at the back or sides, a shelter of reeds/straw such as those used by fishermen, or any other structure where people sleep.
- Households: A household consists of one or more persons, related or unrelated, who live together and make common provision for food. They regularly take all their food from the same pot, and/or share the same grain store (nkhokwe) or pool their incomes for the purpose of purchasing food. Persons in a household may live in one or more dwelling units.
- Group quarters: Collective household refers to a large group of people who live together and sharing common facilities such as kitchen, toilet, lounge, and dormitories. In such situation the residents may not have complete independent quarters that qualify as housing units as their living quarters during the census period.

分析单元
---------------------------
家庭

识别的单位：
- 住宅：否
- 空置单位：否
- 家庭：是
- 个人：是
- 团体宿舍：是
- 特殊人群：是（无家可归者）

单位描述：
- 住宅：住宅单元可定义为任何结构，无论是永久性、半永久性还是传统性，只要人们在其中居住和睡眠。它可能是一个小屋、房屋、带有睡眠房间或房间后侧或侧面的商店，或者是渔民使用的芦苇/稻草棚屋，或者任何其他人们睡眠的结构。
- 家庭：家庭由一个或多个，无论有无亲属关系，共同居住并共同提供食物的人组成。他们通常从同一个锅中取食，并且/或者共享同一粮仓（nkhokwe）或合并收入以购买食物。家庭中的个人可能居住在一个或多个住宅单元中。
- 团体宿舍：集体家庭指的是一群共同居住并共享厨房、厕所、休息室和宿舍等共同设施的人。在这种情况下，居民可能没有完全独立的住房单元，因为他们在普查期间的居住空间不符合住房单元的标准。
