Interviewer instructions
Section 7 - Fertility
This section is comprised of Questions 32 to 38 and the information is to be completed only for females 14 years or older who are not attending school (not including a tertiary institution full time)
5.58 Question 32 - Number of Live Born Children Ever Had
[Image omitted here]
[p.56]
Ask the question like this: "Have you (has she) ever had any live born children?" If the answer is 'Yes', ask "How many? It might help if you count first those which are now alive and add to that number the children born alive but who have since died. Do not count stillbirths in the number. I will enquire about this later." Score the number as described above.
In cases where it has not been possible after all efforts to obtain the information, score "Not Stated" on the top line relating to this question.
