Interviewer instructions
122. <span class="em">Columns: A31 and A32: Fertility for females 12 - 50 Years</span></p>

<p>122b. <span class="em">Column A32: Children surviving</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Q: How many of these children are still alive?</span>
<br />Like in column A31 above, this column must be completed for the females aged between 12 to 49 years. What is needed is the number of children still alive among those children born alive since last independence day to a woman aged 12 to 49 years.</p>

<p><span class="ital"> Example: Maungo and Mmantsheledi are eligible for A27 to A30 as such the latter is coded 04 and 02 in A 27and 02 and 01 respectively to show that she has 4 male and 2 female children and 2 males and 1 female children respectively. The number of children who are living with Maungo, those not living with her and those dead in columns A28, A29 and A30 respectively add up to those in A27. However all Mmantsheledi's children are not living with her hence codes 00 in question A28. Furthermore Mmantsheledi is eligible for question A31 and A32 as her age is within the range 12 to 49 years and she gave birth to her last child early this year, which means that she has had a birth since Independence Day last year.</span>
