6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people

In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.

Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.


For women age 12 or older
[Questions 36-41 are for women age 12 or older]


39. Date of birth, 40. Survival, 41. Age at death
The questions investigate some facts about the last daughter or son born alive, like the date of his/her birth, if he/she lives currently, and in the case of death, the age when he/she died.

Remember that these types of dates can be sensitive. Support the informer with, if necessary, related events like: baptism, intervals of the ages of the children, births of children or relatives, lactating periods, and other events that are useful.

In question 41 "Age at death", record only one response in days or months or years.
