<span class="h2">15.3 Section III. People characteristics</span></p>
<p>In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.</p>

<p>A child born alive is one who at birth had some movement, cry, breath, heartbeat, or any other sign of life, even if he or she later died.</p>
<p>The questions apply to all women aged 12 and older, whether they are married or unmarried, even if they appear very young. Take into account that there are teenage mothers.</p>

<br />Question 45. deceased children applies only to women who have had live-born children, read verbatim: "Of the daughters and sons who were born alive to (name), how many have died?". Write down the amount indicated by the respondent.</p>
