V. EXPLANATION OF CONCEPTS

MARITAL STATUS The distribution of the population by marital status was performed according to the legal status having existed at the census moment. According by: — never married is the person who has not yet married; — married is the person whose legal marriage was not dissolved by a final judgement, whose spouse is alive without regard to whether he/she does or does not live together with his/her spouse, i — widowed is the person who didn t remarry after the death of his/her legal spouse; — divorced is the person whose marriage was dissolved by a final judgement and who did not remarry. The data of persons living separately without a judgement are included in the data of the married. The marital status of persons cohabiting without legal marital relation (in consensual unión) was alsó established on the basis of the legal status. FAMILY STATUS The family status is the relationship or another /economic/ relation of the persons living in the family to the husband in the case of a married couple and, to the father and, respectively, to the mother in the case of a family consisting of one parent and child/ren/. Persons living together with their legal spouse are qualified as husband and wife, respectively. Cohabiting partners are a man and a woman living together without being legally married, independently of their marital status. Father or mother is a person who lives with his/her child or children without a spouse or cohabiting partner. Child is — regardless his/her age and marital status — the offspring (even out of marriage) of a member of the given family with the family status of husband, wife, cohabiting partner and, respectively, father or mother, inclusive of the adopted and foster child. (In the case of the processing of the household and family data, the child can be only never married.) Ascendent is the parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, father-in-law, mother-in-law of persons whtfee family status is husband, wife, cohabiting partner, father or mother, if the ascendent lives without a spouse (cohabiting partner) in the household. Other relatives are - except the ascendents — persons being in kinship with the members of the family but forming no separate family. Non-relatives are persons who live with the family but are not in kinship, but only in somé economic relationship with the members of the family (e.g. a child under state care placed at the family, persons having concluded a contract relating to support for life, home helps). "Other relative" and "non-relative", respectively, is the family status of persons living in a common houshold, provided there are at least two of them, even in the case if there is no family in the household. Lone is the person who lives alone in a separate household. A person living in an institutional household is living far from his/her permanent residence in an establishment maintained by public institutions, enterprises, factories etc., serving for the common accommodation or board and lodging of five or more persons (nursery, children's home or students' hostel, educational establishment college, workers' hostel, lodging of employees, social home etc.) and not in a priváté household. 253
