Interviewer instructions
These questions are designed to determine the numbers of children born. This information is essential to policy makers in making estimates of the size of future populations of the country and the types of government services they might need. Because some of these questions deal with death of a child, some respondents may find it difficult to discuss these matters. Try to be sympathetic and patient with the woman who finds these questions to be sensitive.
This refers to those children that have been dead by now. Record here the number of children, by sex, who have died later.
