Interviewer instructions
Q27 "How many of those children are living with [the respondent] in this household?" Continuing with the same female respondent, ask question 27.
Write the total number of male children who are living with the mother in the household in the boxes under the column "male."
Write the total number of female children living with the mother in the household in the boxes under the column "female".
Remember to use two digits. If there are no male children living with the mother write "00" in the male column. Do the same for female children.
Shade in the numbers corresponding to the numbers written in the boxes.
Ask if any of these children living with the mother in the same household spent census night in the household.
If so, check that they are listed in question 1.
If the respondent had failed to identify any child who spent census night in the household, then you must write down their names in question 1 and go back to Q1-Q14 and gather information on the missed children after you complete questions 26 through 32.
Q28 "How many of those children are living elsewhere (not in this household)?" Continuing with the same respondent ask question 28.
Write the reported number of male and female children reported as living elsewhere in the boxes under the respective male and female columns.
Note that this question is split with the part referring to males in the first row and the part referring to females on the second row.
Remember to use two digits. If there are no male or female children living elsewhere write "00" in their respective columns.
Shade in the numbers corresponding to the numbers written in the boxes.
