Interviewer instructions
[Questions 29 and 30 were asked to women 12 years old or more]




Question No. 29: How many sons and daughters have you had born alive?

All those who upon being born have presented vital signs such as breathing, crying or movement even when they have died immediately after having presented these signs are considered as children born alive.

In this question information given by the female population 12 years old or older is requested without considering her civil or marital state, referring to the number of sons/daughters born alive she had all of her reproductive life to the date of the census.

[To the left of the text there is a picture of a woman and a baby.]

Read the question naturally, most of all when the enumerated dwelling has women of this age. If you note surprise, explain that in some dwellings there are women who have children at very young ages, and for this reason the question always has to be asked: When number of children born is less than ten, put a 0 in front of the number.
Write down in the corresponding spaces the number of sons and daughters that the woman declares and continue with question 30.
For women who have never had children, mark the circle 00 ("None") and end the interview with this person.

[p. 224]

Adopted children or stepchildren of women residents of the dwelling should not be counted. Only count biological children.
