Interviewer instructions
Child born alive
It is every newborn child who shows signs of live after birth, like moving, breathing or crying.
If when being born the baby shows any of these signs and a little later died, it is a child born alive. Therefore, it should be included in the number of children had and excluded from the number of surviving children.
