Interviewer instructions

This question refers to pay supplements that the respondent or her spouse received
from their firm or social organizations or other organisations due to the use of contraceptive
methods. For example, pay supplements for abortion, IUD insertion, sterilisation. These
supplements may be provided in cash or kind or in any other forms such as paid time off-work
due to their application of contraception methods (salary, social insurance…).. Attention should
be paid that the interviewer asks the husband about these supplements if the husband applies
contraception methods instead of his wife.
