Data on the number of children still living serve as an indicator of the mortality of live-born children.
The entry in this column refers to the live-born children reported in P33. Ask the question in P33, "How many of these are still living?".
Enter in this column the number of children who are still alive as of census date, 12:01 A.M. of May 1, 1990 whether such children are presently living with the household or not. Prefix 0 to entries less than 10.
In no case should the number in P34 exceed that in P33. If it does, verify from the respondent. It is possible that the respondent got mixed-up in reporting the number of children.
Thus, if a woman has an entry of 03 in P33, the same number should be reported in P34 if all' 3 children are still living as of census date.
