The metadata shall report the number of all homeless persons. The numbers of primary homeless persons (persons living in the streets without shelter) and of secondary homeless persons (persons moving frequently between temporary accommodation) shall be shown where this distinction is possible.
A description of the methodology and data sources used to produce the data on homeless persons shall be provided.

The metadata shall report on the relevant legal basis in the Member State concerning opposite-sex and same-sex marriages, the minimum age for marriages, opposite-sex and same-sex registered partnerships, and the possibility to divorce or legally separate.
Economic topics
The metadata shall report on any country-specific application of the rules listed in the technical specifications for the topic ‘Current activity status’ in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/543.

Place of usual residence one year prior to the census
Where the census in the Member State collects information on the topic ‘Previous place of usual residence and date of arrival in the current place’, the metadata shall describe any methodology used to report on the place of usual residence one year prior to the census.

The metadata shall specify whether the census in the Member State applies the ‘housekeeping’ or the ‘household-dwelling’ concept to identify private households. The metadata shall report on the method used to generate households and families.
