Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Fertility status of married women in fertility age [columns 20-21]</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Column 21: did [the respondent] give birth to an alive child in the last 12 months?</span>
<br />(Only to the married women aged 15-49)</p>
<div class="i1">Yes</div><div class="i2">Sex<br />[] 1 Boy<br />[] 2 Girl<br /><br />Year _ _ _ _<br />Month _ _</div><span class="pg">[p. 72]</span></p>

<p>The purpose of this question is to collect information related to fertility of married women aged 15-49 years old. If the married women aged 15-49 have given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months (if the enumeration day is 2068/03/04, then from 2067/03/05 to 2068/03/04), such information should be filled up in the related area. </p>

<p>Details about alive birth have been put in the description of column 20. Even if a child died immediate after being born or at later time, this should be considered as alive birth and must be included in the counting. However, if the child was already dead in the womb and it was stillbirth, such birth should not be counted here.</p>

<p>If the woman counted had given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months, circle the reference 1 'yes'. Then write all other information of that living child (e.g. sex of the child, birth year, and month) in the related box of the table. In the heading of sex, if the child is boy, circle the reference 1 and if the child is girl, circle the reference 2. Similarly, if the year the child was born is 2067, write only 67 and write the month in number (e.g. 10 for <span class="lang">Magh</span> month). Write the year and month in separate related boxes. In that one-year period, even if a woman gave live birth to twins or three children, identify whether they are boy or girl and write information of them separately in a sequence with their birth year and month (see the example below of column 21). If there are not enough space to write, take the next page. </p>

<p>If there were no alive children born in the last 12 months, circle the reference 2 'no' and go to the question of column 22.
