Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">42. Children born alive, 43. Deceased children, and 44. Children alive</span>
<br />These questions identify how many sons and daughters born alive each woman aged 12 years or older has had, how many have died and how many live today.</p>
<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Consider that a child born alive is someone who had some movement at birth, cried, breathed, heartbeat, or any other sign of life, even after this person died later. Therefore, record the total number of children born alive that woman have had.</p>
<p>Includes all children, whether or not they live or not in the home with the mother, they have got married, have emigrated, have been given up for adoption or have passed away.</p>
<p>Questions apply to women 12 years or older, whether they are married or single, even if they seem very young. Note that there exist teenager mothers.</p>
<p>Do not include abortions or stillborn as died or alive children.</p>
<p>Make sure the total of children who were born alive equals the sum of alive children plus the deceased children. If there is any discrepancy, comment with the informant and correct it.</p>
<p>Record "00" in question 42 when the informant mentions that the woman has never had children born alive; in that case continue with the next person or skip to Section IV "Other Income and Land".
