Interviewer instructions
VI Civil State
With this section, the distribution of the population according to its current civil state, number of unions (marriages or free unions), age of the first union, and average time in the first union are known.
This section is applied to all people 12 years old or older.
6.4 Age at the first break up
Relating this question with 6.3, the average duration of the first union of those people who united one time who have separated, divorced or become widowed, whether remarried (formed another union) or not is mean to be known. Because of this, this question applies to those who:
Those who currently are widowed, separated or divorced.
Those who currently are married or in a union with more than one union (2, 3, etc.).
For this reason a box appears in the question of the questionnaire with this indication.
The age at the first break up is understood to be the number of completed years that the person was when widowed, divorced, or separated for the first time.
Write down the declared age in the corresponding space.
In this question the following aspects are presented:
It is necessary to emphasize that this age is that which the person was when the dissolving or break up of the first union took place.
[p. 118]
Before answers like "it lasted 6 years with him or her." Add this amount to the answer from 6.3 (age of the first union) and make this result known to the informant in order to confirm if this age is true.
Example
If in 6.4 they answered, "I spent 6 years with him," and in 6.3 you know that the person married at 20 years; then to calculate the age that the person had when separated, add 20 (age of the first union) + 6 (years spent with the pair), which give 26 is the result, which is the age the person was when separated, that is, the answer to question 6.4.
Only to confirm, ask "Then (Name) was 26 years old when separated or divorced?"
When all possibilities of getting the information are exhausted, not even an approximate age, write down code 99 "Does not know."
