[Questions 20 and 21 were asked of women age 15 or older who had children born alive.]
20. Of your children born alive,
When you ask the question "How many total children born alive have you had?," it refers to all children born alive during the life of the enumerated woman up to the day of the census, whether legitimate or natural, from a marriage, current union or any other previous state. Because it concerns children born alive, stillborn children should not be included, but those who were born alive and died soon thereafter should be included.
If a woman had any children, you should continue the interview.
On the contrary, that is to say, if she did not have children, write down "0" (zero) in question No. 19; do not ask questions No. 20 and 21; cross them out with a diagonal line and go to the next person.
Question No. 20 is:
How many currently live abroad?
How many have died?
Pause between questions, with the purpose of getting the answer and writing it down in the corresponding place.
When a woman tells you that she has children who live abroad, ask how many of these children are men and how many are women [males or females].
Only if the answer to any of the questions is none, write down "0" (zero).
You should always ask the question as they are worded in the document, never imply an answer.
