Interviewer instructions
Section 7 - Union Status and Fertility
5.76 General
This section is comprised of Question 7.1 - 7.14 and the information is to be completed only for females 14 years or older who are not attending primary or secondary school full-time. Part-time students at these schools as well as students of tertiary institutions are eligible for
[p.57]
answering these questions.
The questions in this section can be seen to be of a very personal nature and you must assure the respondent that this type of information is very crucial to population planning as they provide very useful indicators of family formation and population growth.
5.81 General
Questions 7.6 - 7.14 are related to the number of live born children a woman has had. These questions are to be asked only of women under 65
[p.58]
years old. Some women might tend to exclude children who were born alive but subsequently died. These children are not to be excluded from the count. A live birth is the product of a pregnancy which shows some form of life after expulsion even if it dies a few minutes after.
5.83 Question 7.8 Age of Mother at Birth of First Child
Score the age. Older women might have problems remembering but you must make an effort to get an estimate based either on the date of birth of the mother or the age of the first child and mother's age.
