Interviewer instructions
Section 5: Fertility
[Females ages 14 to 49]
5.91 General
This section is comprised of question 5.1 through 5.11, and the information is to be completed only for females ages 14 to 49. The questions are of a very personal nature and you must assure the respondent that this type of information is very crucial to population/planning, since it provided very useful indicators of population growth. Be very careful when asking the questions from young women. In all instances, you must assure the parents and the youth how important these questions are to the study of and planning for issues related to reproductive health among young people. Reassure them of the confidentiality clause regarding Census data collection
These questions are related to the number of live-born children a woman has had. Some women might tend to exclude children who were born alive but subsequently died. These children are not to be excluded from the count. A live birth is the product of a pregnancy that shows some sign of life after expulsion, even if [the child] dies a few minutes after.
5.94 Question 5.4: Age of mother at birth of first child
Score the age. Some women might have problems remembering but you must make an effort to get an estimate. This estimation could be based on the date of birth of the mother and the date of birth or age of the first child.
