Women age 15 or older
The questions in this part should be asked to all women age 15 or older, whatever their marital status.


Question 29. How many children born alive have you had altogether?
Born alive is understood to be those who at the moment of birth showed signs of life (crying, breathing, moving). If they died after birth, they equally should be considered as born alive.

The question refers to all children born alive had by the enumerated mother through her whole life, including those had with other possible partners different than the current one.

Once you have received an answer, you should fill in the box that is below the indicated number. Mark "None" if that corresponds. In that case, finish the enumeration of this person and continue with the next member of the household, if necessary.

If a woman had children born alive, fill in the corresponding box and continue with the next question.
