<br />This question has 4 parts, A, B, C and D.
<br />For all females 15 years of age and older (born in 1965 or before)</p>
<div class="i1">A. How many children have you given birth?<br />B. Have any of your children died?<br />C. Do any live somewhere else?<br />D. How many live here with you?</div><span class="em">Question 16A and B</span><div class="i1">A. What is the date of birth of your last born child?<br />B. Is the child still alive?</div><p>Note the child may be in this household, may be elsewhere or may be dead.
<br />If the child is in "this household" then you should write in Question 16A the date of birth as given in Question 4.
<br />If the child is living elsewhere or is dead you must establish the date of birth for Question 16A. You may have to use your notable events book. If the child was born during the last few years try to get the month of birth if at all possible.
<br />As the "last born child" may not be living at this moment you must always ask if this child is still alive.
