A live born person is one that cries upon birth even if he/her dies minutes later. This question must be asked of all the women 12 years and older, without considering marital status. In order to collect this information, keep in mind that:


You must consider the total number of live born sons and daughters of all the matrimonies or unions that the women has had, such as those had while being single and inclusive of those given up for adoption.

This includes all the live born sons and daughters, independently of whether they have passed away, live with the mother, or are married, united, or live abroad.

Do not forget to request this information from single and adolescent women.

Do not include the adopted sons and daughters.


For the women that have never had children or children that were not born live, fill the option corresponding with "none" and go to the next person.
