Ever Married Women Who Are 10 Years or Older
[p. 142]
Questions number 219, 220 and 221 are asked to women who have ever married who are 10 years or older. If Q203 has a code 2, Q204 (age) 10 or older, and Q215 has codes 2, 3 or 4, then Q219, Q220 and Q221 must be asked. If not all requirements are met, then Q219, Q220 and Q221 should not be asked and should be left BLANK (Don't enter code 00).
The information which will be collected from every female household member who has ever married aged 10 or older is: has she ever given birth to a baby born alive, number of children still living, number of children who have died and whether she has given birth to a child after 1 January 2009. Information about number of children born alive who are still living and number of children who died must be recorded in detail classified by sex and whether or not the living children live in this household or a different household. Stillborn children are not included in this question.
Question 221: Children Born Alive since 1 JANUARY 2009
Ask the household member if she has ever given birth to a child born alive since 1 January 2009. The enumerator should be very careful in asking Q221 because this question if very similar to Q219. It must be noted that the time period being considered for Q221 is from 1 January 2009, to the time of the enumeration, not the life of the respondent.
[Note within graphic box:] Every female member of the household aged 10 years or older and has ever been married is asked:
a. Have you ever given birth to a child?
b. How many children do you have?
c. Have you given birth since 1 January 2009?
