Question No. 20: How many children born alive have you had in total?
Read the question and wait for the response. Then, record in the box, using digits, the number of children reported.
[There is a picture of question 20 in this section of the Enumeration Form.]
Remember that:

A child born alive is considered to be a child that, upon being born, showed some sign of life, such as breathing, crying, or moving, even though they may have died shortly thereafter.
If the person reports that they haven't had children, record "0" in the box and conclude the interview with this person.
Stepchildren and adopted children are not included in this question.
