Interviewer instructions

P22) Births since the (Korite)
This question applies only to women aged 12 to 54 years, that is, those who were born before 1977 and after 1933.

Record the number of live births of each gender that the woman has had during the period from the Korite to the date of your visit in the household. A child is said to be born alive when he or she has shown any sign of life at birth (cry of the child, breathing, heart beating, etc.).

Do not forget the births that were followed by a death, that the women tend to omit, for voluntary or involuntary reasons, because or taboos or prohibitions inherent in various superstitions.

If the woman has had no live births, write "0" in the box for males and "0" in the box for females.
