Questions and instructions
In what month and year were you born?
Q, 105 and Q. 106 must be asked independently of the information on the Household Questionnaire. Even if the respondent was already asked about her age in the Household Questionnaire, still her date of birth on the Individual Woman's Questionnaire must be asked again.
If the respondent knows her date of birth, write it in the appropriate boxes for MONTH and YEAR. Convert the month into numbers. For this, January is “01”, February is “02”, March is “03”, etc. Write the complete year of birth in the four boxes for YEAR e.g., 1954 would be written “1954”.
If she does not know her month of birth, encircle “98” for DON'T KNOW MONTH and ask her for the year of her birth. Try under all circumstances to obtain at least the year of birth. If the respondent is unable to baptismal certificate that might give her date of birth. Only when it is absolutely impossible to even estimate the year of birth should you circle “9998” for DON'T KNOW YEAR.
