Interviewer instructions
Question 15
-- How many total children born alive has the woman had?
The total number of children born alive, including those that passed away immediately after birth, is recorded here.
In order to answer this question, it is important to be aware of the following concept:
Child born alive:
A child who, when born, breathed or showed any other sign of life, even if passing away immediately after birth. If the child did not show any of the previously mentioned signs, it is considered to be a child born dead and is not counted in the number of children born alive.
If the informant has had one or more children born alive, clearly write the number in the space provided and proceed to question 16.
If the informant has not had any children born alive, fill in the "none" oval and skip to question 18.
The total number of children born alive should refer to all children born alive, of any age, that the woman had up until the time of the interview, whether they live with her or not and including those who have passed away.

Description
Definition
This variable indicates the number of children born alive.
NOTE: The data for this variable appear to be faulty. Far too many women report zero children born. Many of those women report they had children born last year. We include the variable only for the possibility that some researcher might figure out a way to make use of these data.
