Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.

Test 6 (KT6)

In case the month of birth cannot be identified (the month of birth in Question 4 is recorded as "98"), DTV proceeds to Question 34 for women born between 1970 and 2009.

Question 34: Have you ever given birth?
Women who have given birth are those who have given birth to a live child (i.e., at birth, the child had at least one of the following vital signs, such as: crying, breathing, heart still beating, throbbing placenta, etc.), excluding cases of stillbirth (i.e. death in the womb). DTV needs to interview DTDT slowly and carefully, especially women of school age and unmarried.

In the case of surrogacy (according to Article 94, Marriage and Family Code of 2014), the child born is the shared child of the husband and wife through surrogacy; surrogate mothers are not treated as if giving birth to their own children; Women who ask for surrogacy are treated as if giving birth to their own children.
