Interviewer instructions

<svar a="all" v="BO92A404"><span class="h3">Question 4. How old are you in completed years?</span><br /><br />Age is one of the most important pieces of data in the Census because of its relationship to other characteristics contained in the Form, for example, when people's age is related to their level of instruction, or when one takes into account the number of children that women have had in relation to their age.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 38]</span><br /><br />Therefore, it is necessary to make the greatest effort possible to get good quality information. Age should be recorded in number of years completed and not in those that are going to be completed.<br /><br />For those younger than one year you should record 00. For people who are 98 or older, 98 will be recorded.<br /></svar>
