Interviewer instructions
61. Total number of live born children (column 14), number of living children (column 15). For all the women born before 1962, regardless of the marital status, the total number of live-born children up to the census moment will be recorded, regardless of whether they are living or are dead at census enumeration date (column 14) and how many of them are alive at census moment (column 15). The number of children will be written in the corresponding box with two digits (before figures from 1 to 9 will be added 0, for example: 01, 02, . . . . 09).
[pg. 41]
The number of live born children should comprise all live born children regardless if they are alive or not and only the ones alive at census moment in column 15.
For both categories, all the children born in the present or prior marriage, or outside the mother's marriage, regardless if they are living or not on the mother's household will be considered.
The fetal deaths, the children of the husband from other marriages, the adopted children and the children on the placement care of alternative families will not be taken into consideration.
These characteristics will be not recorded for the women who never had a live born child, for females under 15 years of age (irrespective of if they had or not live born children), as well as for all male persons.
For the women aged 15 years and over, who did not state due to various reasons, the number of children, or for whom the enumerator could not record the answers, the enumerator will insert the code 99.
