Interviewer instructions
6.7 Block VII. Women age 10-54 who ever married
This block is only asked to women aged 10-54 years old who ever married in order to obtain information on marriage, number of children born alive, children currently alive and deceased children. The characteristics are very useful to count the total number of births and the number of stillbirths. Try to interview the mother in question.
Block VII is filled in after the characteristics of all household members are recorded into Block V and Block VI. In a set of SUPAS95-S there are 4 pages of Block VII that are in pages 26-29. Write the characteristics of ever married women age 10-54 first on page 26, then on page 27 and so forth. If in one household there are more than four ever married women aged 10-54 years old, use an extra page.
For Block VII, read the questions that are printed in small letters.
Question 703: Month and year of the first marriage
Ask the month and year of the respondent's first marriage based on the Roman calendar. If the respondent only remembers using another calendar, use the conversion guide. Fill in the month and year of the first marriage in the provided place.
If the respondent cannot remember the month and year of the first marriage, the month is coded "98" but the year should be considered based on P304.
