Question pretext

Question post text

IF NONE, RECORD '00'.

Interviewer instructions

Fill in the number of sons and daughters who live with the respondent. If she has only sons living with her, write '00' in the boxes for daughters, and vice versa. Remember that we are only

interested in the respondent's OWN natural (biological) children and not foster children, children of her husband by another woman, or children of a relative. Note that it is never correct to record '00' in the boxes for both sons and daughters since women who have no children living at home should not be asked Q. 203.
