Interviewer instructions
Question 3: Date, month, and year of birth
Ask date, month, and year of the respondent's birth. Fill in the date, month, and year in the box provided. If the respondent only knows the year and month of birth, write down year and month whereas the birth day is a line (--) in the available place (not in the box). If only the birth year is known, the two others are lines (--).
If the respondent only knows another calendar system, then the information obtained is changed to agree with the Christian calendar. In this handbook is enclosed a conversion [table] between the Java, Sunda, and Islam calendars (Appendix 3 and 4).
If the respondent knows the date, month, and birth year based on one of the three kinds of calendars above, the information is noted completely on the top Block VI. Use conversion I in Appendix 3 to convert the date, month, and year information into the Christian calendar.
