Questions 22 and 23 are registered only for women.
Question 22
How many children did you bear?
For women aged 15 and older (regardless of the marital status at the time of the census) the number of children born is written (not counting the ones born dead), regardless of whether all the children are alive at the time of the census or not and whether they are in their household or live separately. Also, adopted children, as well as the children from the previous marriage of the husband are not counted as the children of the given woman. If the woman bore no children, then the number 0 is written.
