Interviewer instructions
28.1. Number of children born alive in the past 365 days, Columns 36 to 39
28.1.2. Alive at present, Columns 38 and 39
Number of children alive at present means the number of children who have been born in the past 365 days and are alive at the time of enumeration. Ask this number and based on their gender write it in each of columns 38 and 39.
It is obvious that the number written in column 38 should be equal to or less than the number written in column 36 and the number in column 39 should be equal to or less than the number in column 37.
- Note that for those women who have given birth only to boys or girls in the past 365 days, if their children are alive, write the number in the appropriate column and if they are not alive at present, mark the column "--". In this case, the other column for the other gender will be left blank.
