Interviewer instructions
Question 29:- Did [the respondent] have any live births during the past 12 months (since May 29, 2006)?
The respondent will be asked whether they gave birth to a child who is "born alive" during the 12 month prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 29 May 2006 - May 28, 2007 and the answer will be marked on the space provided.
To understand the concept "born alive" it is important to note the explanation given in question 26 - 28. Moreover, in question 29 children who are counted must be born during the reference period (the 12 months prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 29 May 2006 - May 28, 2007). Sometimes respondents may tell all of their children without taking in to an account the given reference period. Therefore it is crucial for the enumerator to explain all these concepts to the respondent.
If the respondent gave birth to a child during the last 12 months prior to the census date, the number of children will be filled and marked on the space provided. However, if they didn't, code "0" will be given to the respondent and the code will be shaded on the questionnaire. Most of the time women give birth only once in a year so fill code"1" but in condition when a woman gives birth to a twin children during the reference period code "2" will be assigned.
Even if this question is asked for women aged 10 years and over, for those aged 50 and above years, this question must not be forwarded.
