37. Total number of children still living
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 37: Total number of children still living
Ask the following questions, if the woman has previously indicated that she has had at least one child born alive: "Of all the children born alive that you have had in your life, how many are alive now?" "How many boys?" "How many girls?"
As before, using double digits, enter the number of boys still living in the "male" grid and the number of girls still living in the "female" grid.
