Interviewer instructions

Filling-in questions on mortality and fertility

Question 14
In order to have correct information on women's fertility, interviewers should interview directly women in the sample, who are in reproductive ages from 15 to 49 years old (those who were born between April 1, 1939 and March 31, 1974). Please do not ask indirectly via their husbands or other household members.

Question c: Number of your children that are not alive
This figure reports the number of the respondent's biological children who are not alive at the time of census (died before April 1, 1989); including newborns who were born alive and died a few minutes, or a few days after their birth.

The definition of a newborn alive is a child who was born under these conditions:

The mother was pregnant over 28 weeks (7 months)
Having signs of living after being born:

Crying
Breathing
Heart is slowly beating

The mother naturally delivers the baby or had a C-section.

Notes: Interviewers should pay attention to the number of newborns that died after a few minutes or days of their delivery, and for whom the mother did not filed a birth certificate and/or dead certificate. Abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth are not considered as birth or dead.
