Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Columns P24 to P27 for All Females 15 to 49 Years old</span>
<br />Columns P24 to P27 are to be accomplished only for females 15 to 49 years old. For all other members, leave these columns blank.
<br />Questions P24 to P27 are designed to collect necessary information for deriving fertility indicators. The fertility indicators are indispensable bases for studying population growth and changes in population's age structure, and their possible implications on the economic and social needs of the population.</p>
<p><span class="em">P25-Number of Children Still Living</span>
<br />Data on the number of children who are still living are used in the calculation of mortality indicators.
<br />Ask the respondent the question in P25: "How many childen are still living?" The answer to this question refers to the number of children still living out of the total number of children ever born reported in P24.
<br />Enter in this column the number of children who are still alive as of census date, May 1, 2010 as of 12:01 a.m., whether such children are presently living with the household or not. Prefix "0" to entries less than 10.
<br />In no case, however, should the number in P25 exceed that in P24. If it does, verify from the respondent which of the entries in P24 and P25 is correct. It is possible that the respondent got mixed up in reporting the number of children born alive and children still living.
<br />If all children born of a woman are still living as of census date, then the entry in P25 should be equal to the entry in P24. For instance, if a woman has an entry of "03" in P24, the same number should be reported in P25, if all three children are still living as of census date.
<br />If the entry in P24 is "00", enter also "00" in P25.
