Interviewer instructions
<svar v="EC01A439 EC01A440 EC01A441 EC01A442 EC01A443"><span class="em">Only for women 12 years or age and older</span><br /></svar></p>

<p>The group of questions from number 24 to number 27 should be asked of women 12 years of age and older.</p>

<p>These questions allow us to know the components of demographic change. When asking these questions, take special care when you interview women under 18 and single women. Explain briefly that this information is important for measuring the levels of fertility and mortality, and for that reason it is necessary to obtain it from all women 12 years of age and older.</p>

<p><svar a="all" v="EC01A443"><span class="em">Question 27.- Is your last son or daughter born alive living?</span><br /><br />[There is a picture of question 27 from this section of the enumeration form.]<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 57]</span><br /><br />This question refers to the last son or daughter born alive. It is common for mothers to consider the last one to be the son or daughter who is living with the mother; indicate that this information refers to the son or daughter born alive, even though they may have died a short time after having been born or may be living in another place.<br /><br />If the response is <span class="em">yes</span>, mark box 1. Otherwise, mark box (2), <span class="em">no</span>.<br /><br />[There is a drawing of a crying baby, with box 1 checked.]<br /></svar>
