11. Number of children

This question is only for women who are 12 years old or more.

If the informant answers that the woman has not had any son or daughter born alive, write he answer in the questionnaire and continue with question 12. Civil Status.

If the answer is that the woman has had a son or daughter born alive, ask for the total number of children who were born alive and the total number of children who are still alive.

Remember that this question is about all of the sons and daughters that were born alive, without taking into account whether they live with the mother or not. Be sure that the total of sons and daughters that the enumerated woman has had is equal or greater than the number of children that she currently has; clarify this with the informant and correct any errors.
