Question 19: Children Born Alive

This question is asked with the purpose of determining the total number of daughters and sons born alive by each woman in her whole reproductive life, without her marital state or union being important and being able to know the contribution of fertility to the increase of the population.

[To the right of the text is a form.]

To collect this information keep in mind that:

a. A child born alive is one who when being born breathes and shows any other sign of life, independently if it dies moments after having been born. For practical effects a child born alive is one who cries during the birth even when dying minutes later.

b. The sum of all daughters and sons born alive from all marriages or unions that the woman has had should be considered, even those born when single.

c. It will include all daughters and sons born alive, independently if they have died, if they live with the mother or if they live abroad.

d. Do not forget to request this information also to single women and adolescents.

e. Do not include adoptive children.

f. If the total number is less than 10, always add a zero to the left.

For women who have never had children, mark the circle corresponding to "None" and go to the next person.
