Interviewer instructions
32. Number of Children, 33. Deceased Children, 34. Surviving Children
With these questions we want to know the total number of daughters and sons born alive for women 12 completed years of age and older, as well as the total number of deceased daughters and sons and the number of daughters and sons who are currently alive, even though they may not live with the mother.
[Depictions of these three questions on the enumeration form]
You should ask these questions even though the woman may be single or very young. If necessary, you can tell the informant that in some states in the country women begin having children when they are very young.
Consider as a child born alive those children who, upon being born, showed some movement, crying, breath, heartbeat, etc., even though they may have later died.
When they report abortions or stillborn children, don't count them in the total of daughters and sons or in deceased children.
