Question 305 to 308: The life survival status and parents' residence
This question is aimed at household members who are younger than 15, and to understand if the biological parents live in the same household. For household members age 15 or older, Column (6) to (9) are empty. Question: "Is your biological mother still alive?" The biological mother is the

mother who gave birth to the child. Record if the biological mother of the household member is still alive or has died by circling code 1 or code 2 in Column (6). If the respondent does not know, circle code 8.

If still alive, ask Question 306: "Does your biological mother live in this household?" If the answer is "Yes", ask her name. This person has to be recorded in the household member list in Column (2). Write the serial number of the biological mother in Column (7). If the mother does not live in that household, fill in "00". If the code in Column (6) is 2 or 8, leave Column (7) empty, and continue to P307 and P308. Ask if the biological father is still alive and follow the same procedures when filling in Columns (6) and (7).
