Interviewer instructions
Question 19. What is the total number of live children you have given birth to?
With this question, the goal is to obtain information about all of the sons and daughters who were born alive, born to each woman during their lifetime, including those who live with the woman, those who do not live with the mother and those who have died. Take into account that a child born alive is one that took a breath after birth, cried, or moved, even if the child died soon after being born.
It is indispensable that you emphasize that the question refers to all of the children born alive, since some women (who have had several children), tend to omit the children who died a few hours or days after being born.
After you are sure that you have the total number of children born alive, write the number in the corresponding space.
When they tell you that they have not had any children who were born alive, mark the box None and continue with question 23 about civil or married state.
This question should always have an answer for women 15 years old or more.
