32. How many children (female or male) have you ever given birth?
Female _ _
Male _ _
33. How many of these children are still alive?
Female _ _
Male _ _
Whatever the age and gender of the children to whom the woman gave (live) birth, and regardless of whether they are living in that house or not, the number of living children is to be entered in numeric form separately into the "Female" and "Male" sections, respectively. In situations where it is only female or male children that are alive, a "0" is to be entered either into the female or male box, depending for which of these [genders] there are no children.
For women among whom none of the children they had given birth to had survived as of the time of the census, "0" is to be entered both into the "Female" and "Male" boxes.
Attention! The gender-specific total numbers obtained in the answer to question 33, should be equal to or less than the total numbers in the responses to question 32. (The number of a woman's surviving children, is equal to or less than the number of children she gave birth to).
