3.3 Age
The age of the enumerated person is investigated through a dual question that solicits both the "Date of Birth", because it provides more precise information, as well as the Age completed in years. In this way, the cases in which persons to not know their exact date of birth can be avoided and the enumerator can identify the person by cohort "los cortes de edad". The concepts used in the treatment of these variables are the following:
-- Date of birth: This refers to the precise date (day, month, and year) on which the enumerated person was born.
-- Age completed in years: The period of time between the person's date of birth and the day of enumeration, expressed in whole years.
