| General
Fertility Rate = the number of resident live births per 1,000
females aged 15-44 years. |
| Total
Fertility Rate = age-specific birth rates of women in five-year
age groups multiplied by five and summed to form a total for all
ages. This rate yields the number of children a cohort of 1,000
women would bear if they experienced the existing age-specific
rates throughout their childbearing years. |
| Age-Specific
Birth Rate = the number of resident live births to females in
a specific age group per 1,000 females in the age group. |
