A. Death (para. 57.)

Death is the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live birth has taken place (postnatal cessation of vital functions without capability of resuscitation) (This definition does not apply to foetal deaths).

B. Infant death (Glossary)

Infant death is death of a child under one year of age.

C. Children ever born (paras. 2.126.- 2.131.)

The number of sons and daughters should comprise all children ever born alive whether born of the present or a prior marriage and should exclude foetal deaths and adopted children.

D. Children living (paras. 2.132.- 2.133.)

The number of children, male and female, who are alive at the time of the census should include those living with the mother in the household and those living elsewhere, no matter where the latter may reside and regardless of their age and marital status. The identification of the natural mother of each child under 15 years of age in the same household, to be used in the "own children" method of estimating fertility, should be made by asking each woman who reports one or more of her children as being born alive and living in the household to identify these children in the census questionnaire.
