Fifth block: fertility and mortality characteristics (for all women 15 years of age and older)</span><br /><br />Questions 21-24 are designed to obtain information to allow estimations of levels and trends in fertility, mortality, and population growth.<br /><br />The adequate investigation of this question requires that the enumerator be delicate and extremely diligent in the request for information. Questions 21-24 should be presented to all women 15 years of age and older, irrespective of their marital status. If possible, these questions should be presented directly to each woman. Women sometimes forget to declare children born alive who have passed away, children who are alive but living in another place of residence, and also newborns. This should be kept in mind to avoid omissions.<br /><br />It has been verified that certain enumerators suppose that unmarried women do not have children and therefore do not present the pertinent questions to them. This is inadequate and leads to the collection of poor quality data.<br /></svar></p>
