Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Individual information</span>
<br />After collecting the introductory and household information of data sheet 1, there are questions for individual information collection on the right side of the page. To write individual information, a row has been allocated for each member of the family. Sequence and rules for information collection have been put accordingly. In line with this, ask the question and fill the information. The response of each individual question should be written in the respective column.</p>
<p><span class="em">Column 5: what is the age of [the respondent]?</span>
<br />While writing the age of a person in the enumeration form, write the completed age in years.
<br />The age of a person means the time spent from the birth to the till date. It is common practice to indicate the time in years, months, and days. While writing the age, write only the completed years by a person. E.g. If Kamala is now 13 years, 6 months, and 29 days, then only write her age as 13 years. For children born some time ago or who have not reached 1 year, then write "00".</p>
<p>Some parents might not know their children age. It is common if we ask what the age is of..., we generally get the answer "don't know". It is also common that while responding, some respondents give the answer for the age with the figure ending either "0" or "5". Such response might differ from the real age. With wrong answer, the result of the enumeration also comes wrong. Similarly to collection of other information, the age of each person should be written correctly. </p>
<p>If the respondent could not say the exact age, then we can identify the age by comparing the age difference with other members. Similarly, if a person was born at or around the time of some major events of the past, these events might be the basis for identifying age. E.g.: What was your age at the time of mega earthquake in 1934? What was your age when there was people's revolution in 1951? What was your age at the first general election of 1959? Or, how many years after the general election you were born?
