Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">4.2. Part B: individual characteristics</span></p>
<p><span class="em">B08: age (on the last birthday)</span>
<br />For every person in the household who has not been able to give date of birth in B07, record their age in complete years. This is the age on their last birthday. If, for example, on the day of the interview, an individual tells you that he will be 25 years in two weeks, that is, after the date of the survey, the recorded age will be 24. Generally speaking, the person must have celebrated their Xth birthday to be aged X years. If the person has not already celebrated their Xth birthday in the current year, their age is equal to (X-1) years.
<br /><span class="pg">[p. 35]</span>
<br />If a given member does not know his or her age or date of birth, you must insist on determining it, even if you have to settle for an estimate. To do so, you can refer to significant historical events occurring at a date that may correspond to the person's date of birth; you can also use other methods of estimating age. There are two methods of estimating age using the historical calendar:</p>
<div class="i1">- If you are not in front of the individual investigated, and the respondent claims that the person surveyed was born on the same day as the occurrence of an event appearing on the historical calendar then the age is given directly with the help of the historical calendar;<br />- On the other hand, if the respondent remembers a given event, ask them about their age when the event occurred. It is then up to the AR, with the help of the historical calendar, to estimate the age of the respondent.</div><p>Before registering the estimated age, make sure that the person surveyed deems it acceptable.
<br />For persons aged nine years or younger, the age will be recorded preceded by two zeros; For example, we record: '001', '002', '003', '004', '005', '006', '007', '008' and '009' for children aged 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, 7 years, 8 years and 9 years respectively.
<br /><span class="ital">For children under one year old, the registered age will be '000'</span>.
<br />Record the declared or estimated age in past years.
<br />With the PDA the age is automatically generated after the date of birth is recorded.
