Questions and instructions
How old is (NAME) as of his/her last birthday?
Write the two-digit code of the age in the boxes provided.
1. For persons aged 1 year to 9 years, prefix zero (0). For example, 2 years should be written as “02”, 3 years as “03”, and so on.
2. For children below one (1) year old, enter “00” in the boxes.
3. For ages 97 and above, enter “97”.
If the respondent cannot recall his/her age or the age of a household member, probe by relating the person's age to the age of other household members, or asking the grade/year of the person if he/she is attending school. Citing some important events in the past may also help the respondent in recalling his/her age or the age of the household member.
If all possible means have been exhausted and the respondent is unable to recall the age, ask her best estimate.
Note: Remember that there should always be an entry for age since this is used in identifying eligible women and men.
