4.6. Section E: For women aged between 15-49 (ask women directly)
The purpose of section E is to collect information on the fertility of women aged between 15-49 years. They will be interviewed about giving live births, age at first birth, and last birth. Surveyors should ask these questions directly to women. In case the target female interviewee is not at home, the surveyor can ask the head of the household instead.
Question Q29, Q30, Q31: Number of live births
Refers to the total number of children born including those who are alive and those who have died. Children who are still alive may be staying with their mothers or elsewhere. Adopted children, loved ones, children of fiancées, or cousins born by other people are not counted.
Write the number of live births for each question below:
Q30: How many children are currently living with others?
Refers to the number of children who stay at other places such as living with relatives in other places, in boarding schools, given to other people to take care of, or children who have their own family. Please ask more carefully because the child who lives in another place is not considered a member of the household because the name of the child is not listed in the family book of the household. So, the head of the household may forget to include the name of the child in the family book.
