Interviewer instructions
40. In what month and year was your first child born?
Ask the question and note the month and year in which the first of the son or daughter was born.
Note that the two digits correspond to the month, for example, "08" if born in August. If the person can't provide information about the birth date, note "00".
Do not forget to fill in the four digits corresponding to the year. If the person who answers can't provide information about the year of birth, enter four zeros ("0000"). It is important to register it this way if the person doesn't remember or know the birth date, since the change of century can provoke confusions at the moment of processing the information. For example, if you only note two zeros ("00") it won't be known if the person was born in the year 2000 or if the person couldn't provide information about the birth date. The information will have to be taken for lost.
41. In what month and year was the last child born?
The same. If through the interview it emerges that the person only had one son or daughter born alive, do not ask the question and circle the code "9999".
