Interviewer instructions
Question 18. For women (aged 15 and over)
The question is to be asked of women at the age of 15 years and over, both married and not married.
For persons under 15 years of age this question is usually not to be filled in. But if a woman interviewed gave birth to children, the answers to following questions should be recorded for her either.
c) How many of them live separately? Specify boys and girls.
In the reply to this question the number of children is to be stated, who at the census moment live separately from their mother, i.e. who are not members of the household (e.g., because of their leave for training or separating into an independent household, etc.).
In separate boxes the number of boys and girls is to be entered.
If all children ever born live together with their mother, in item "c" the numeral "0" is to be placed.
