Question 20: Children Currently Alive

This question along with the previous has the purpose of obtaining estimations of mortality in childhood.

[To the right of the text is a form.]

Because of this, after having written down the total number of daughters and sons born alive, the total number of them who are currently alive is investigated.

Write down the response in the space corresponding to the total number, if it is less than 10, always add a zero to the left.

If none of the children survive, mark the circle "None".

Before making the annotation remember that:


a. They are the daughters and sons currently alive, from the total number of children declared in question 19.


[p. 75]


b. All children alive at the census moment are taken into account, independently if they live in the same home as the mother, for reasons of work, study, marital state or because they live outside of the country.


[Below the text is a picture of mother and children.]

[Below the picture is a form.]


c. The total number of children currently alive never will be larger than the total number of children born alive. If this condition is not satisfied, request from the woman any clarification that would be necessary.
