Question No. 21: How many of your children are currently alive?
Read the question and, according to the person's response, record in the box, using digits, the number of children reported.
[There is a picture of question 21 in this section of the Enumeration Form.]
If the person reports that they don't currently have any children who are alive, then record "0" in the box.
Remember that: You should take into account all of the children, whatever their age and sex may be, and whether they live with her [the mother] or not. Stepchildren and adopted children are not included in this question.
