For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.
Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.
44. Live-born children, 45. Deceased children and 46. Surviving children
These questions ask how many live-born daughters and live-born sons each woman aged 12 and older have had in total, how many of them have died, and how many are currently living, whether or not they live with the mother.
A child born alive is one who at birth had some movement, cry, breath, heartbeat, or any other sign of life, even if he or she later died.
The questions apply to all women aged 12 and older, whether they are married or unmarried, even if they appear very young. Take into account that there are teenage mothers.
Deceased children
Question 45. deceased children applies only to women who have had live-born children, read verbatim: "Of the daughters and sons who were born alive to (name), how many have died?". Write down the amount indicated by the respondent.
You should consider that the number of deceased children must be equal to or less than the number of children born alive.
