Question pretext
The following questions should be asked of all usual members of the household. That is, of all persons who usually live and eat together in the same house or compound and share the same housekeeping arrangement. A person is counted as a household member if he/she has been living here for 3 months or more.
Note that members of a household are not necessarily related (by blood/marriage) and not all those related persons living in the same house or compound are members of the same household.
Interviewer instructions
The ages of household members should be recorded in completed years. Write “00” if less than one year of age. For one reason or another, the birth date of an individual might be different from what it says on his/her birth certificate or registration card. For the purposes of this question, what matters is the true date of birth; therefore, there is no need to ask for birth certificates or any other legal documents.
If the respondent fails to recall an individual's date of birth, you might suggest that the respondent refer to a legal document and inquire whether or not this information could reflect the individual's true date of birth. If the respondent fails to recall, try to ask him/her to remember the age in uncertain cases by comparing or matching it to any historical event. EG: September 2009 tsunami. Sometimes the respondent apparently remembers that, he/she/other household member was born in coincidence with the event (occur at the same time). The age of an infant less than 1 year should be recorded as '00'.
