Interviewer instructions
5.7. Section F: Fertility
This section is to be asked only of women aged 12 to 50 years (born between and including 1957 and 1995) listed on the flap.
(P-44) Total children no longer alive:
a. How many of (the person's) children are no longer alive?
b. How many were boys?
c. How many were girls?
As this is a sensitive question, care should be taken when asking it.
Confirm that the total of b. and c. matches a. If there are any discrepancies, probe.
The total for P-42 plus P-43 plus P-44 cannot be greater than the total for children ever born alive in P-41.
