Questions and instructions

Literal question

14. Age (completed years) _ _

Q14. Age (completed years): write the age of each member in English digits in the blank boxes. If the age of some member is less than 12 months then write 0 0. If the age of any member is 100 years or more then write 9 9. Age is a very important indicator. Many people do not have accurate perception about their age. Therefore, age stated by the respondent is to be probed with historical events, such as, war of liberation, flood of 1988, age at marriage, age of youngest child and corrections should be made where necessary.
