Filling-in questions on mortality and fertility

Question 14
In order to have correct information on women's fertility, interviewers should interview directly women in the sample, who are in reproductive ages from 15 to 49 years old (those who were born between April 1, 1939 and March 31, 1974). Please do not ask indirectly via their husbands or other household members.


Question e): month and year of the most recent birth
Fill in the month and year of the youngest child for mothers who have several children.
If the child is her first child (she only has 1 child), fill in this question.


Question g): is the child still alive?
This question is only for the most recent birth in question e) in order to collect information if this child is dead or alive at the time of census on April 1, 1989. This question is also for children who were born alive and lived just for a few minutes or days.

In a case of one child (normal birth), fill in the box "alive" if the child is still alive at the time of census. If the child is dead, fill in the box "dead".

In the case of twins:

if both children are still alive, fill in "2" in the box "alive"
if both children are dead, fill in "2" in the box "dead"
if one child is dead and the other is alive, fill in "1" in the box "alive" and "1" in the box "dead"
in case of triplets: similar to the above case
