Age
Interviewer instructions
Write the age of every member in completed years. “Age in completed years” refers to the age of a person in number of years fully completed. For instance, a person whose age is 15 years 11 months should be written as 15 only. Do not write months.

Use the “Lopta Conversion Table” to ascertain the exact completed age of a person if the person cannot report his age in years or date of birth.
The age of infants less than one year old should be recorded as “00”. Make sure that special care is taken to include all children and infants (even if one day or less than one day old as of the Census Night).

What to do when a person does not know his/her age?

For such a person use any of the following methods to estimate his/her age:-
(i) Ask the Lopta of a person and determine the age of the person by using the Lopta Conversion Table.
(ii) Sometimes the age can be ascertained with reference to the age of a family member or a neighbour.
(iii) Do not leave out the age of any member listed in the household. Ask the head of the household or any knowledgeable person about the exact age of an absent member. If in doubt, use the Lopta Conversion Table or determine the age with reference to the age of a family member or a neighbour.
