Interviewer instructions
P32 Number of Children Born Alive
Data on the number of children ever born alive to a particular woman is an aggregate measure of her lifetime fertility experience up to the moment the data are collected. Cross tabulation with other variables will enable computation of principal measures such as gross fertility ratio, the average number of children born alive to women who have reached the end of child-bearing period, the proportion of women who are childless by the end of their reproductive life, etc.
Information on the number of children born alive should be asked for all females 15 to 49 years old only. Number of children born alive should include all children born alive during the lifetime of the woman up to the census date. Exclude fetal deaths or stillbirths.
Born alive children should comprise all live-born children to the woman, whether legitimate or illegitimate, born of present or of previous marriages, and regardless of whether her children are living or dead, or might be living elsewhere at the time of the interview. Exclude fetal deaths or stillbirths; also adopted children and stepchildren.
The following definitions may help you in filling up this column:
1. Stillbirth -a birth in which the infant never showed any sign of life at the time of birth.
2. Adopted - a child or ward who is considered part of the family although may not be related by blood to the guardian.
3. Stepchild -a child of a woman's husband by a previous marriage.
Entry for this column should consist of 2 digits; thus, for women with 1 to 9 live-born children, prefix 0 .
Examples: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, etc.
In the case of a woman who has not given birth to a live baby, enter 00 in this column.
