Q: "Have you/has [the respondent] had any live births during the period from January 1st 2012 until today?"

If the answer to question number 26 ["born alive children"] = "00," this woman has never had any born alive children in her life and as a result, she has not had any living birth since January 1st 2012. Ask the question anyway but under the following form:

Q: "Do you confirm that you have not had any living births since January 1st 2012?"

If the answer is yes, then write down "0" in each one of the small boxes situated opposite of "M" and "F," which symbolize the sex of the children who would have been born alive since January 1st 2012, in the section reserved to the registration of this woman's data.

R25 and R26 only apply to female between age 15 and 50.

R26. Fertility between Nov 1, 1999 and Oct 31, 2000
This question asks if the female respondents have given birth to children during the 12 months before the census.

36. Live births in the last 12 months

Women who are visiting the household are not concerned by this section of the questionnaire.

Question 36: Live births in the household during the last 12 months (March 1987 to March 1988)

Ask the question, "Have you had any live births during the last 12 months, meaning since March 1987 until today?"

Write the number of male children in the male column and the number of female children in the female column.

Note: Only the live births of the resident females surveyed should be considered; stillbirths and adopted children must not be counted.

36. Live births in the last 12 months

Women who are visiting the household are not concerned by this section of the questionnaire.

Question 36: Live births in the household during the last 12 months (March 1987 to March 1988)

Ask the question, "Have you had any live births during the last 12 months, meaning since March 1987 until today?"

Write the number of male children in the male column and the number of female children in the female column.

Note: Only the live births of the resident females surveyed should be considered; stillbirths and adopted children must not be counted.

38. Live births within the last 12 months

Questions 36, 37, and 38 pertain to live births. Thus the questions must be asked of all female residents 12 years of age or older. By live birth, we mean all children born alive, that is, any product of conception that has manifested any sign of life (screams, crying, breathing, heartbeat, etc.) after complete extraction of the body from the mother. Stillborn children, however, which should not be counted for these purposes, are children who died before the complete extraction of the body from the mother (dead fetus), called stillbirths.

Question 38: Live births in the household in the last 12 months
Ask the following questions: "Have you had any live births since the month of November 1997?" "How many boys?" "How many girls?"

Note: You must enter the live births that have occurred in the household in the last 12 months prior to the date of your visit. This largely avoids the telescoping effect.

For example, if you were to visit a household on November 30, 1998, you would record the births of the last 12 months dating back to November 30, 1997. An interviewer visiting another household on November 21, 1998, would record the births dating back to November 21, 1997, etc.

Enter the number of births of males using a single digit in the male coding grid, and the number of births of females using a single digit in the female coding grid.

17. Fertility (Only for women 15 years of age or older of whatever marital status)

Letter a) of question 17 refers to the total number of children born alive to each enumerated woman 15 years of age and older. Not taken into account is whether they are alive or not at the time of the census or the age of death. A child born alive is any child that had shown any sign of life (cry, scream, breathing) after the complete separation from the mother's body. It is not necessary to consider the duration of the pregnancy or the amount of time the child was alive; it is sufficient that the child had survived for an instant after the separation from the mother. It is also not necessary for the umbilical cord (bellybutton cord) to have been cut; it is sufficient for the entire body of the child to have been expelled or extracted from the womb. Therefore, children born without life (dead), abortions, or miscarriages are not counted.

Letter b) of question 17 refers to the total number of children alive at the time of the census; that is, those that are alive at midnight of January 8-9 of 1970. Therefore, those who passed away before and those born after the "census moment" are excluded.

Letter c) of question 17 refers to the children born alive between the January 1 and December 31 of 1969 to all of the enumerated women from 15 to 49 years of age.

It is important that the questions be presented carefully in order to avoid erroneous answers.

In these columns all women aged ten years and over will be asked the number live birth they have given and the number filled in these columns.

Before entering any data in these columns, it is important to understand the definition of "live birth". Live birth means a newborn baby has life as the time of birth. In general number of babies born live does not include abortion or still birth.

Columns 37 - 39: Total number of children ever born to [the respondent]?

For women ten years and over who has never had children born to them "00" will be entered in the card columns under columns 37, 38 and 39.

Column 37: Living at Home

Number of children by gender living with the household their mother is a member of will be entered in card columns 68 and 69 under column 37. Code "00" will be entered in card columns 68 and 69 for women aged ten years and over if the children do not live with them.

Column 38: Living elsewhere

In column 38 card columns 70 and 71 number of children living elsewhere will be entered by gender. If the children born to the woman do not live elsewhere then "00" will be entered in this column and in card columns 70 and 71.

Column 39: Dead

Number of children dead by gender, if any, will be entered in column 39 card columns 72 and 73. However if there are no children dead "00" will be entered in this column card columns 72 and 73. When filling this column it has to be noted that children dead means those who died after they were born.

Asked for women aged 10 years and above
[Questions 34-38 were asked of female residents' age 10+.]

Total number of children ever born alive

Births in the last 12 months
38. Have you given live birth during the last 12 months?

Column 34 - 37: The total number of children ever born alive

This question is going to be asked for female member of a given household who are aged 10 years and above regarding the number of children they have ever born during life time
pg 81
(which includes children who are living with them, children who are dead and children who are living in other places). Nevertheless, Females whose age is less than ten years and members who are males of any age are excluded from being asked this question.

Before forwarding the question to the respondent, the enumerator should understand the concept of being "born alive". Being "born alive" means without considering the number of months the fetus stayed in its mother's womb, if the child breaths at the time of birth or if he/she shows life before or after the umbilical chord is cut; such as when the child experiences a heart beat, umbilical chord beat, crying, muscle movement etc?, it is only under this condition we come to say that the child is "born alive." What should be noted here is that if the child shows life even for a very little time and die soon no matter how long the pregnancy lasted, the child will be considered to be "born alive". However, in situation when the fetus dead in the womb and abortion cases are not taken in to an account.

Traditionally, some mothers consider their adopted children as their own biological children, so due attention must be taken while asking the question to the respondent. What is required to collect is the information regarding the number of children ever born by their biological parents. For this purpose three separate questions (questions regarding children who are living with their parents, who are not living with them and who are dead) are built to collect the required information on the number of children ever born by a given respondent. This method helps parents to remember their entire biological children; so we can get the exact information on the number of ever born children. But adopted children are not counted and therefore enumerators should take care while collecting the information.

Column 38: Births during the last 12 months
Did you have a live birth during the last 12 months? If yes enter the number of live births, otherwise enter '0'.

The respondent will be asked whether they gave birth to a child who is "born alive" during the 12 month prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 11 October 1993 - October 10, 1994 and the answer will be recorded on the space provided.

To understand the concept "born alive" it is important to note the explanation given in columns 34 - 37. Moreover, in column 38 children who are counted must be born during the reference period (the 12 months prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 11 October 1993 - October 10, 1994). Some times respondents may tell all of their children without taking in to an account the given reference period. Therefore it is crucial for the enumerator to explain all these concepts to the respondent.

If the respondent gave birth to a child during the last 12 months prior to the census date, the number of children will be filled on the space provided. However, if they didn't, "0" will be written in the space provided. Most of the time women give birth only once in a year so write "1" but in condition when a woman gives birth to a twin children during the reference period "2" will be written.

[Questions 26-29 were asked of long form respondents 10+.]

29. Did [the respondent] have any live births between 29 May 2006 and 28 May 2007?

The respondent will be asked whether they gave birth to a child who is "born alive" during the 12 month prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 29 May 2006 - May 28, 2007 and the answer will be marked on the space provided.

To understand the concept "born alive" it is important to note the explanation given in question 26 - 28. Moreover, in question 29 children who are counted must be born during the reference period (the 12 months prior to the date of enumeration i.e. from 29 May 2006 - May 28, 2007). Sometimes respondents may tell all of their children without taking in to an account the given reference period. Therefore it is crucial for the enumerator to explain all these concepts to the respondent.

If the respondent gave birth to a child during the last 12 months prior to the census date, the number of children will be filled and marked on the space provided. However, if they didn't, code "0" will be given to the respondent and the code will be shaded on the questionnaire. Most of the time women give birth only once in a year so fill code"1" but in condition when a woman gives birth to a twin children during the reference period code "2" will be assigned.

Even if this question is asked for women aged 10 years and over, for those aged 50 and above years, this question must not be forwarded.

P20 Number of children born in the last 12 months: How many children has (name) born in the last 12 months? (If 4 or more, mark 4) _ _

P20 Number of children born in the last 12 months: How many children has (name) born in the last 12 months? (If 4 or more, mark 4)

Write the number of children born in the 12 months preceding the Census, (i.e. from 25th March 1999 to 26th March 2000). Except for multiple births (twins, triplets) the number should be zero (0) or one (1).

[P20c was asked of females age 12-54.]
P20c. Children born in the past 12 months.
How many children has [the respondent] born alive in the past 12 months?

Question P20c is to be asked of only females aged 12 to 54 years old who have had a live birth in the 12 months preceding Census Night. The number of births must be recorded by sex. It includes children born alive within this period but who have since died.

If any female respondent aged 12 - 54 had a live birth within the reference period, record the number of births by sex in the appropriate box/boxes. You should record this in the correct column number of the respondent. If no children were born alive by any female respondent aged 12 - 54 during the 12 months before Census Night, record 0 in the boxes provided for such respondent.

5.62 Question 36 - Number of Live Births/Stillbirths During Past 12 Months

[Image omitted here]

In this question, one row has been used for two closely connected questions. One response position is to be marked on the left hand side for Live Births - Question 36a, and one, on the right hand side, Stillbirths - Question 36b.
It is possible for a woman to have more than one delivery in the same 12 month period. However, the rate of occurrence of this is very low. It is necessary, therefore, to ask about both stillbirths and live births.
It is in order to cope with recall lapses that each part of this question provides for different categories of deliveries, and these should be mentioned to the individual one by one. Attention should also be paid to obtaining accuracy in respect of the time interval during which births are to be included. Remember that the children included here must have been born between the dates 9th June, 1981 and 8th June, 1982 inclusive.

5.63 Question 36(a) - live births
Ask the question this way: "Did you (she) give birth to any live born children during the past year, that is, between 9th June 1981 and 8th June 1982?" If the answer is "No", score "0" under live births. If the answer is "Yes" follow up by asking: "How many live born children did you (she) have during that time? One, two, three, etc. (as is relevant)?" For one live born child score "1". For twins both live born, score "TW". For two children both live born but at separate births during the year, score "2".
For cases where the woman gave birth to three or more live born children during the year (including twins or otherwise) mark "3+". In cases where it has not been possible after all efforts to obtain the information, score "Not Stated" in the last response position on the left hand side.

[p.58]

5.64 Question 36(b) - still births
Ask the question this way: "Did you (she) have any still-born children during the past years, that is, between 9th June 1981 and 8th June 1982?"
Mark one of the response positions depending on the reply.

5.65 Question 36 - General
Remember that the left hand side of the row refers only to live-births and the right hand side to still births so that if, during the year, a woman had twins, for example, one child being live-born and one stillborn - you should record "1" under live-births and "l" under still-births.
Pay particular attention to the definitions of live-birth and still-birth given you by your instructor.

Simply, a still-birth is the product of a pregnancy of not less than 28 weeks duration in which the child shows no sign of life after expulsion. A live-birth is the product of a pregnancy which shows some form of life after expulsion even if it dies a few minutes after.

7.11. How many live births were there?

5.81 General
Questions 7.6 - 7.14 are related to the number of live born children a woman has had. These questions are to be asked only of women under 65

years old. Some women might tend to exclude children who were born alive but subsequently died. These children are not to be excluded from the count. A live birth is the product of a pregnancy which shows some form of life after expulsion even if it dies a few minutes after.

5.86 Question 7.11 Number of live births in Past Twelve Months
It is important to note that it is possible for a woman to have more than one delivery in the same 12 month period. The occurrence of this is however, very low.

Column 21: did [the respondent] give birth to an alive child in the last 12 months?
(Only to the married women aged 15-49)

The purpose of this question is to collect information related to fertility of married women aged 15-49 years old. If the married women aged 15-49 have given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months (if the enumeration day is 2068/03/04, then from 2067/03/05 to 2068/03/04), such information should be filled up in the related area.

Details about alive birth have been put in the description of column 20. Even if a child died immediate after being born or at later time, this should be considered as alive birth and must be included in the counting. However, if the child was already dead in the womb and it was stillbirth, such birth should not be counted here.

If the woman counted had given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months, circle the reference 1 'yes'. Then write all other information of that living child (e.g. sex of the child, birth year, and month) in the related box of the table. In the heading of sex, if the child is boy, circle the reference 1 and if the child is girl, circle the reference 2. Similarly, if the year the child was born is 2067, write only 67 and write the month in number (e.g. 10 for Magh month). Write the year and month in separate related boxes. In that one-year period, even if a woman gave live birth to twins or three children, identify whether they are boy or girl and write information of them separately in a sequence with their birth year and month (see the example below of column 21). If there are not enough space to write, take the next page.

If there were no alive children born in the last 12 months, circle the reference 2 'no' and go to the question of column 22.

[21] Have [the respondent] had any live births during the last 12 months?

(Only to the married women aged 15-49)

The purpose of this question is to collect information related to fertility of married women aged 15-49 years old. If the married women aged 15-49 have given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months (if the enumeration day is 2068/03/04, then from 2067/03/05 to 2068/03/04), such information should be filled up in the related area.

Details about alive birth have been put in the description of column 20. Even if a child died immediate after being born or at later time, this should be considered as alive birth and must be included in the counting. However, if the child was already dead in the womb and it was stillbirth, such birth should not be counted here.

If the woman counted had given birth to an alive child in the past 12 months, circle the reference 1 'yes'. Then write all other information of that living child (e.g. sex of the child, birth year, and month) in the related box of the table. In the heading of sex, if the child is boy, circle the reference 1 and if the child is girl, circle the reference 2. Similarly, if the year the child was born is 2067, write only 67 and write the month in number (e.g. 10 for Magh month). Write the year and month in separate related boxes. In that one-year period, even if a woman gave live birth to twins or three children, identify whether they are boy or girl and write information of them separately in a sequence with their birth year and month (see the example below of column 21). If there are not enough space to write, take the next page.

If there were no alive children born in the last 12 months, circle the reference 2 'no' and go to the question of column 22.

This question is presented to all women ages 15 to 49, irrespective of marital status.

Births during the last 12 months
[Questions 65 to 68]

Number of alive birth

22. Of these, how many were born in the last 12 months?

[Questions 24-25 were asked of women aged 15-49 who have given birth to live children.]

24. Of your sons and daughters born alive, were any born during the period between May 14th 1989 and today?

Question 24: Of your sons and daughters born alive, were any born during the period between May 14th 1989 and today?
Mark the corresponding circle agreeing with the response of the person. This question concerns the current fertility which is needed to know if the woman has had any child from May 14, 1989 to the date of the Census.
When the person answers affirmatively, the date of the birth of the son or daughter born alive should be marked in the corresponding space. (day, month and year)
If the response is negative, finish the interview and continue with the next person.

26. Of your sons and daughters born alive, were any born during the last 12 months?

Information about the variable fertility will be gathered for women 12 years old or older. In a strict sense, this variable, is the real frequency of births in the female population.
Information about the variable mortality will be gathered for all of those surviving of the sons/daughters born alive by women 12 years old or older. It is defined as: the permanent disappearance of all signs of life, whatever was the time that passed since the birth.
The gathering of information for this section in the census offers the opportunity of grouping information for estimating these variables to the national level in an economic way and principally to bring the vital statistics up to date.

Fertility

P32. How many children have been born alive to [respondent]?

Fertility indicators.

For all females 15 to 49 years old.
[Questions 24 through 27 were asked of females 15 to 49 years old]

P26. How many children were born alive to [the respondent] from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010?

P26-Number of Children Born Alive from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010
Data on the number of births in the last 12 months are used in estimating indicators of current fertility of women, such as total fertility rate and age-specific fertility rate.
Ask the respondent the question in P26: "How many children were born alive to from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010?"
The question refers to the number of children born alive to a woman during the last 12 months, from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010. Enter in this column the number of children born alive in the last 12 months preceding the census reference date. This includes the number of children born alive but are no longer surviving, and children born alive but living elsewhere.

An answer of two or more children born alive to a woman is unusual but possible. This is acceptable in cases of twins, triplets, and others, or if there was a short interval between two livebirths, say one was born May 2009 and the other in April 2010. Probe if the answer is correct by checking P5 for presence of children aged less than one year. If there is none, probe further by asking if the children reported are living elsewhere. It is possible that a respondent will erroneously include a stillbirth or miscarriage, or a child born before or after the reference period of 12 months.
Enter the actual number of children born alive in the past 12 months such as "1" for one child born alive, "2" for two children born alive, "3" for three children born alive, and so on. If no child was born alive to a woman during the last 12 months, enter "0".

18. Answer this question if the person is a female who is at least 15 years old and younger than 51 years old. Mark the "Yes" box if the person has given birth to at least one child born alive in the past 12 months, even if the child died or no longer lives with the mother. Do not consider miscarriages, or stillborn children, or any adopted, foster, or step children.

24. Has this person given birth to any children in the past 12 months?

24. Mark the "Yes" box if the person has given birth to at least one child born alive in the past 12 months, even if the child died or no longer lives with the mother. Do not consider miscarriages, or stillborn children, or any adopted, foster, or stepchildren.

24. Has this person given birth to any children in the past 12 months?

25. In the past 12 months, has this person given birth to any children?

Answer question 25 if this person is female and 15-50 years old. Otherwise, skip to question 26a.

P25. Mark the "yes" box if the person has given birth to at least one child born alive in the past 12 months, even if the child died or no longer lives with the mother. Do not consider miscarriages, or stillborn children, or any adopted, foster, or stepchildren.

Questions asked to persons of the female sex, of at least 12 years of age (P27 to P30)

The questions going from P27 to P30 aim at knowing:

P29: Live births in past 12 months

The census enumerator must ask the woman (or the single mother) aged 12 years or more about the children born alive (over the past 12 months), that is those who are aged less than a year, or children born between August 15, 2001 and August 15, 2002.

Write down the number of male children born alive during this period in box P29M.
Write down the number of female children born alive during this period in box P29F.
Write down (0) in the appropriate boxes if there was no live birth during this period.

[p.51]

Remark:
If there are children in boxes P29M and P29F, those could be broken down into two categories:

If the child lives in the household, he/she must appear in column P01 of the questionnaire. In this case one must verify that his/her date of birth is written in column P05.
If the child does not live in the household: the child may not reside with his own parents. In this case the census enumerator must write down in the remarks why this little baby does not appear among the household members. The child might have died. in this case this must appear in column P28M or P28F, since these numbers must be smaller than those in P27M and P27F.

[Question B43-B46 were asked of resident women age 10 years or older.]

B47 - B48. Births in the last 12 months

B47/48: births of the last 12 months
These two questions concern women aged 10 to 54 years old.
The question is to record the number of live births of each sex that the woman has had in the last twelve months. Remember that a child is born alive when he or she manifests any sign of life at birth (child's cry, breathing, heartbeat and so on).
It will be important to remember the births followed by deaths that respondents tend to omit for involuntary or voluntary reasons related to taboos or bans. If the woman had no live birth, record 0 in the ''male'' box and 0 in the ''female'' box.
NB: Do not leave an empty box, put the number of births according to sex.
If there is no birth, put 0 in the corresponding boxes.
Example: A woman who has had a male birth in the last 12 months: record 01 in the ''male'' box and 00 in the ''female'' box.
For a woman who has male twins, record 02 for male and 00 for female.

For a woman who has male twins, record 02 for male and 00 for female.

153. You must record particulars of the last child borne by the woman -- that is, in the last 12 months. You can do that by asking: "Did you bear a child in the last 12 months?" If "Yes", ask for the year and month. Record the year and the month in columns P34 and P35 respectively. If "No", record "00" in each of columns P34 and P35.

154. Some people will not know the exact date on which the last child was born. You must help determine the date and record the answer as accurately as possible. Ask for a birth certificate or an Immunisation card.

155. We are especially interested in those women whose last live birth took place during the year before the census. For births taking place in that year, it is important that you record both the year and the month.

156. Check that the date of birth shown in columns P34 and P35 agrees with the child's age as stated in column P5.

Females 10-54 years [Questions P38-P40]

Recent births (last 12 months)

P38. How many live births did [the respondent] have in the last 12 months?

Columns (P01) to (P20) -- These should provide particulars of all persons who slept in the household on census night. The questions therefore apply to all persons irrespective of age or sex, except P13 which applies to persons 5 years and above.

Columns (P38M) to (P40F) -- Particulars of most recent live birth (last 12 months).
178. These columns must be completed for all women aged between 10 to 54 years who have at least one live birth recorded in P34M and P34F.

179. If each of columns (P34M) to (P37F) contains "00", put a dash in P38M to P40F.

P38 -- Total births in the last 12 months
180. Ask "Did (name) bear a child in the last 12 months?" If the response is 'Yes', ask for the number of males and/or female children and record the answer in (P38M) and (P38F) respectively. If 'No', record '0' in each of columns P38M and P38F.

[p.35]

181. Some respondents may not know the date on which the last child was born. You must help determine the date and record the answer as accurately as possible. Ask for a Birth Certificate or an Immunization Card.

182. These questions are asked to women whose last live birth took place in the last 12 months before the census. For births taking place in that year, it is important that you get the exact month the child was born so that you do not include births that occurred outside the last 12 months.

183. Check that the child's information shown in columns (P38M) and (P38F) agrees with the child's age as stated in column (P5) if the child spent the census night in the household.

33a. Number of live births during past 12 months

This section is comprised of six questions and the information is to be completed only for females 14 years or older.

66. Question 33 - Number of live birth / stillbirths

In this question one row is used for two closely connected question; one response position is to be marked on the left hand side for livebirths and another on the right hand side for stillbirths.

It is possible, although the rate of occurrence is low, for a woman to have more than one delivery in the 12 months preceding enumeration. The occurrence of one of these two types of events does not preclude the occurrence of the other. It is necessary therefore to ask about both live and stillbirths.

Remember that a stillbirth is a child which shows no sign of life on delivery.

[Questions 38 and 39(a) were asked of those who had at least one live birth]

39. Numbers of live births/still births

39(a). How many live births did (N) [the respondent] have during the past twelve (12) months?

This Section will provide information on fertility of all females' 14 years and over. The census, moreover, seeks to obtain supplementary data of demographic interest than that provided from the Registrar's General Office.

The data collected are of even greater importance when cross-classified and analyzed by marital and union status, religion, ethnicity and other socioeconomic factors like occupational and educational attainment. Two examples of measures of fertility that can be obtained from the census are the ratio of young children to women of childbearing age and the number of children ever born to women. Additionally, fertility studies could be extended to population groups or communities within Trinidad and Tobago.

[p.58]

Fertility simply indicates the rate at which women of childbearing age are having children. This will have a direct impact on resource allocation in terms of medical, educational, health and training facilities.

Question 39 (a) - Number of live births past twelve (12) months

If the response in question 37 is none question 39(a) should not be asked. In all other cases, tick the appropriate box, which indicates the response, for example, one, two, etc.

Fertility simply indicates the rate at which women of childbearing age are having children. This will have a direct impact on resource allocation in terms of medical, educational, health and training facilities.

Question 37 - Number of live births ever had

You may wish to introduce this section as follows: - "now I would like to ask a few census questions on number of live births, age at birth of first live born child, of all female members of this household who are fourteen (14) years of age and over". Although the question may be sensitive, you should not ask the question in an apologetic tone or change your approach.

Should you do this, you will discourage response or cause the respondent to observe your hesitancy to ask the question. Act naturally and maintain the pace of the interview.

Note to interviewer: The information sought is not the number of children alive at the time of the census but the total number of live born children the woman ever had, whether currently residing with her, elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago or abroad. Included also, are those who were born alive but are now dead. However, still births are not to be included.

Remember a live birth occurs when a baby cries or shows other signs of life when born. If the respondent states none then enter _0 in the boxes provided. If "none" is entered for question 37 then skip to question 39(b), since the women may have had a still birth. If the number of live births is six (6), entry is recorded as _6.

30(a). Number of live births in the past 12 months

8.1. Children ever born

This refers to all children born alive (excluding fetal deaths) during a woman's lifetime, whether currently residing with her, elsewhere in Trinidad and Tobago or abroad. Also included are the children born alive, but who have died.

8.4. Live birth

A live birth means the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy; which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached; each product of such a birth is considered live born.

27. Children ever born (live born)

(a) How many live born children has (N) [the respondent] ever had and how many are males and females?

19. Have you had children born alive?

253. For question no. 15 "Of the following types of activities, which did you do last week?", you should read the list of possible answers, one by one and in the order that is presented in the Census document, waiting for an affirmative answer. When you get it, mark the corresponding box with an "X", and do not read the following alternatives.

[p. 73]

As you will observe, the series of possible answers is divided into two parts: A and B.

If a person being enumerated answers part A, you will ask the following questions from the chapter. On the contrary, if a person answers part B, you will not ask the rest of the questions from chapter III; cross them out with a diagonal line and go to chapter IV.

Taking into account the previous instructions, if a person answers within part A of question no. 15 you should ask questions no. 16, 17, and 18.

Mrs. de Gonzáles (28 years old) answers that during last week she only took care of the home. (Part B). Looking at the Census document, indicate what you should do to the following:

• Cross out questions no. 16, 17 and 18 and go to chapter IV.

• Cross out questions no. 16, 17 and 18 and go to chapter IV.

• Mark "Took care of the home only" for question no. 15, crossing out questions no. 16, 17 and 18 and going to chapter IV.

Question no. 21, "Of them, how many were born in the last 12 months?", refers to children born in the last 12 months before the "Day of the Census." If she answers none, write down "0" (zero).

Mrs. González., whom you are enumerating, tells you that she gave birth to a daughter three months ago. Make the corresponding notation for question no. 21.

[Below the text are two forms, one of which is filled out but illegible]

307. Make sure to ask the questions directly to the enumerated woman.

308. The companion of Rodríguez tells you that she did not have a child in the last 12 years. Register this case in the Census document.

Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.

Test 7 (KT7)
The test question is intended to identify women who have had the most recent birth within the last 12 months (April 2018 to March 2019) to proceed to Question 40; otherwise, DTV skips to test question 8 (KT8).

Question 40: Number of sons and daughters born to you from April 2018 to March 2019?
DTV asks to identify the number of sons and daughters born to DTDT within the past 12 months.

[p.69]

Question 40 is intended to identify, in addition to the most recent birth within the last 12 months (Question 39), whether DTDT gave birth to another child in the same year. Therefore, the information about the number of sons and daughters in Question 40 must be equal to or greater than the number of sons and daughters in Question 39.
