[Questions 30-35 asked only of females 14 years and over.]

33a. Number of live births during past 12 months

This section is comprised of six questions and the information is to be completed only for females 14 years or older.

66. Question 33 - Number of live birth / stillbirths

In this question one row is used for two closely connected question; one response position is to be marked on the left hand side for livebirths and another on the right hand side for stillbirths.

It is possible, although the rate of occurrence is low, for a woman to have more than one delivery in the 12 months preceding enumeration. The occurrence of one of these two types of events does not preclude the occurrence of the other. It is necessary therefore to ask about both live and stillbirths.

Remember that a stillbirth is a child which shows no sign of life on delivery.
