Question 25
Question 25 (A and B) is answered by women age 15 and older, regardless of their marital status.
Column 25A
How many children did you bear?
For the women of 15 and older (regardless the marital status at the time of the census) the number of the born children is written (not counting the dead born ones), regardless all the children are alive at the time of the census or not and whether they are members of that household or live separately. Adopted children, as well as the children from the previous marriage of the husband are not counted with the children of the given woman.
If the women bore no children, then number 0 is written in the column 25A.
