Column (27): Survival of births occurred since January 1st, 2001
The census agent shall ask the following question: "How many of these living births had since January 1st, 2001 are still alive?" Report the number indicated by infant's gender in the appropriate box.
29. How many [children] are still alive?
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.
If the answer is No, meaning that the woman declared having had a living birth since January 1st 2012, ask her the following question:
Q: "Where is this child?"
If it is conformed that this child is born alive since January 1st 2012, then:
Ask her the sex of this child and write down "1" in one of the boxes opposite from "M" or "F" depending on the child's sex.
Remember that there will be a correction regarding the answers given previously for questions 26 and 27; in light of new data, please make any necessary corrections.
If the answer to question number 26 "M" is higher than 0 and/or number 26 "F" is higher than 0, then this woman has already had born alive children in her life; ask her the following question:
A32. How many of these children are still alive?
122b. Column A32: Children surviving
Q: How many of these children are still alive?
Like in column A31 above, this column must be completed for the females aged between 12 to 49 years. What is needed is the number of children still alive among those children born alive since last independence day to a woman aged 12 to 49 years.
Example: Maungo and Mmantsheledi are eligible for A27 to A30 as such the latter is coded 04 and 02 in A 27and 02 and 01 respectively to show that she has 4 male and 2 female children and 2 males and 1 female children respectively. The number of children who are living with Maungo, those not living with her and those dead in columns A28, A29 and A30 respectively add up to those in A27. However all Mmantsheledi's children are not living with her hence codes 00 in question A28. Furthermore Mmantsheledi is eligible for question A31 and A32 as her age is within the range 12 to 49 years and she gave birth to her last child early this year, which means that she has had a birth since Independence Day last year.

The number of children who are living with Maungo, those not living with her and those dead in columns A28, A29 and A30 respectively add up to those in A27. However all Mmantsheledi's children are not living with her hence codes 00 in question A28.

Of the children born to you alive in the last 12 months how many are?.?
P44. Living elsewhere?
You are about to start a new topic so you have to prepare the respondent by informing her that you are now going to ask her questions about children and child bearing. Remember these are questions to be asked to females 12 years and older and not for husbands to answer for their wives. Questions on fertility are to be asked only to those females who are 12 years and older and they involve only their own children. If the female is a usual member present or a visitor, fertility questions have to be asked to them personally. If they are not around, a call back has to be made until they are found and information is collected. If the enumerator cannot find the female respondent even after making at least three visits, the enumerator should inform the supervisor.
