E. For women aged 15-49 years old (Directly ask female)

Number of children ever born alive

Q32. How old were you when you gave your first live birth?

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 Q32: When you gave birth to your first live child, how old were you?
The objective of this question is to know the age of the mother at the birth of her first child.
The surveyor must record the completed age of the woman at the time of the first birth (not counting the age at the beginning of the pregnancy) in the boxes for writing the age. You will need to record for a completed year of age. If they don't remember or don't know, write the code "99".
