[Questions P30-P33 were asked of women age 12 years or older]




P30. Number of children ever born alive
Ask the respondent the number of children she has ever born alive ("Born alive" means that they must have shown a sign of life, e.g. crying at birth) during her lifetime. Enter the number of males in the first box and females in the second box and then shade the appropriate digits.

If there are more than 9 females or males, just write 9.

If the respondent has never had children in her lifetime, write 0 in the "Male" box and 0 in the "Female" box.

The number should be written irrespective of whether children born to the woman are no longer staying with her and may be dead but they were born alive.
