PROBE FOR A NUMERIC RESPONSE.
This question is asked of all women who gave a numerical response to Q.614. Record the number of boys and girls preferred by the woman in the boxes provided under BOYS and GIRLS, respectively. If the woman says she does not mind the sex of the child, write the number in the boxes under EITHER. For example, if in Q.614 she says she would like to have six children, and in Q.615 she would like to have 2 boys, 2 girls, and two more of either sex, you would record “02”, “02”, “02”. If she would like to have two children (“02” in Q.614) and she would want two boys, you would record “02”, “00”, “00”. If she gives some other answer, encircle “96” for “OTHERS” under each box and record her exact words in “OTHERS”. You only need to record her other response under one box, but be sure to code the “96” under each box. For each box there must be either a number in the box (and this can be “00”) or the “96” must be encircled.
Remember that the total composition by sex in Q.615 should be equal to the total number in Q.614.
