Only for women who have had daughters or sons who were born alive
[Applies to questions 21-23.]
21. Of these, how many are currently alive?
____ Total daughters and sons who are currently alive
D. Only for women 12 years of age and older
Questions 20 to 23 should only be asked of women 12 years of age and older, including unmarried women. These questions are not asked when the person being enumerated is a man. Instead cross out part D of the Form with a diagonal line.
These questions are of great importance for the demographic analysis. Take special care to ask them verbatim without excluding unmarried women.
Question 21. Of them, how many are currently alive?
In this question the number of living children that the woman has at the time of the census will be recorded, including those that don't live in the home. The answer should be written clearly in the corresponding boxes. If the person being enumerated doesn't know with certainty if all of her children are alive (for whatever reason), clarify this in observations.
