Abstract
Household surveys tend to employ the term "head" as a guiding principle, without explaining the concept of headship to the informant. Using the 1995 National Family Planning Survey (Conapo), this article analyzes the factors associated with the designation of heads of household, for both men and women, and those linked to headship on the basis of individuals' roles as income contributors and decisión-makers, commonly identified as attributes of the head of a household.
