Questions 17, 18, 19 and 20, which refer to fertility and death characteristics, should be asked only of women 15 years of age and older.

Question 17. How many children born alive have you had in all?

It is imperative to emphasize the question in the sense that it refers to all children born alive, and does not distinguish between those that may have died and those that are currently alive.

Take into account the fact that informants tend to omit those children who died shortly after birth.

If the answer to this question is none, continue directly to question no. 21.
