Interviewer instructions

Questions only for women who are age 14 or older
This series of questions will only be asked of women age 14 or older. For the case of all of the females younger than 14 and all males of any age, you will annul the questions from 19 to 25 by making a diagonal line through each of the boxes.

Question 21: Of these children, how many are still living?
Here we count all of those children, male and female, who are alive on the date of the census, where or not they lived with the mother.

Notes:
a) The number of deceased can never be greater than the number of live-born children noted in question number 20.

b) In question number 20, the informant could have omitted or forgotten the children who were born alive and died and when question number 21 is asked, it reminds them of these children, therefore you will correct the information previously noted in question number 20 and write the correct information.
