Interviewer instructions
<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>Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.</p>
<p>[Figure omitted: image with text]</p>
<p>For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.</p>
<p>Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.</p>
<p><span class="em">47. Date of birth, 48. Survival, 49. Identification of the last daughter or son, and 50. Age at death.</span>
<br />These questions ask about the last child born alive, such as the date of birth, whether the child is currently living, whether the child resides in the same housing unit as the mother, and, if the child is deceased, the age of the child at the time of death.</p>
<p>Please note that these questions only apply to women who have had one or more live-born children.</p>
<p><span class="em">Date of birth</span>
<br />Read the question verbatim and note the date stated by the respondent.</p>
<p>[Figure omitted: image with text] </p>
<p><span class="pg">[p. 399]</span></p>
<p>Record the month with two digits and the year with four digits. Do not consider the last child if they suffered fetal death, i.e., stillbirth.</p>
<p>If necessary, support the respondent by remembering the date with related events, such as baptisms, age intervals of children, births of children or relatives, breastfeeding periods, and other useful events.</p>
<p>This question is presented to the census manager as follows:</p>
