Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Question 13. How many children did you give birth to?</span>
<br />The question should be asked only to females of 15 years or older (married or single). Put down the total number of born children (disregarding the number of still-born children) regardless of whether those children are alive at the present moment or not, whether they belong to the female's household or live separately.
<br />Adopted children and children in care, as well as husband's children from the former wedlock are not registered in the number of children born by the given female.
<br />If a female does not have any children, "0" is recorded.
<br />Females younger than 15 years should not answer the question.
<br />If in one of the dwellings of your counting area you meet a person temporarily staying in the Russian Federation and permanently residing abroad, who at the enumeration point of time was present in the area, he/she should be enumerated in List B, Form S, and Form V should be completed for him.
