Interviewer instructions
8.7 Duration since last live birth (Col 27-28)

The reason for asking the duration since occurrence of last live birth is to determine the duration spent by a married women after last live birth. This question will be asked from all the women who are married at the moment or widowed or divorced. This question will be asked in such a way.

"What is the duration since last live birth of Mrs. X/Y?"

This duration actually consists of the period when a last live birth boy or girl occurred to a married women and period will be counted up to the date of enumeration, irrespective of whether he [the child] is alive at the time of enumeration or not and he [the child] is living as a member of the household or living somewhere else. If after the last live birth the women became pregnant and miscarried then this period will not be counted and the duration will be counted from occurrence of last live birth. Intervening duration will be written in completed years or months. If, at the date of enumeration, the age of last live born baby was 5 years and 6 months then this duration will be 5 years seven months. Five will be written in the years box and 7 will be written in the months box. If the age of the baby is less than one year (e.g., 8 months and 10 days), then his age will be considered as 8 months. A dash will be filled in Col. 27 and the digit 8 will be entered in Col. 28. If no baby has ever been born to that woman then a dash will be put in Col. 23-28.
