Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.

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.
47. Date of birth, 48. Survival, 49. Identification of the last daughter or son, and 50. Age at death.
These questions ask about the last child born alive, such as the date of birth, whether the child is currently living, whether the child resides in the same housing unit as the mother, and, if the child is deceased, the age of the child at the time of death.
Please note that these questions only apply to women who have had one or more live-born children.

Read the question verbatim and note the date stated by the respondent.
