Question No. 20. Total number of children born alive

[Below the text is a form.]

Mark with an "x" the box corresponding to "none" when a woman has not had any children born alive.

Write down in the box corresponding to "number" the total number of children born alive that the woman has had during her whole life. It does not matter if they live or not in the Household that is being enumerated of if they have died.

When for a particular woman one does not know or has no idea of the number of children born alive that she has had, leave the space blank. These cases are presented as an exception.

[p. 58]

Born alive: is a child who when being born breathes, cries or moves. If it showed any of these signs of life and then died it is a life birth. If upon being born that child does not show any of the signs mentioned previously, it is a still birth.
