head of the household Explanation: E.g. "The head of the household is that person in the household who is acknowledged as such by the other household members. If the household members are not able to nominate the head of the household, the oldest member of household is considered as household head. In one-person households, the only member of the household is the head of the household." http://www.unescap.org/esid/psis/population/popin/profiles/i... |

| Reference: huisoudste Reference information: http://ikgastuderen.com/StudentenWoordenboek.html "- Huisjongste, degene die als laatste in het huis is gekomen - Huisoudste, degene die als eerste in het huis is gekomen" ------------- http://www.delta.tudelft.nl/nl/archief/artikel/de-engelenbak... "In èchte studentenhuizen bestaan ze nog: de huisoudste en de huisjongste. Wie zijn vroegere huisgenoten 'overleefd' heeft, slijt zijn laatste dagen gerieflijk. Maar nieuwkomers wacht het lot van huissloof. Teun Vercauteren (zesdejaars mijnbouw) en Pieter Bedaux (eerstejaars bouwkunde), bewoners van studentenhuis De Engelenbak aan de Oude Delft, vertellen over het leven aan de beide uiteinden van het hiërarchale spectrum." ---------------- |
