fertility rate

How is Fertility Rate Measured?

The most common methods for measuring fertility rates include:
Total Fertility Rate (TFR): This is the average number of children a woman would have if she were to live through her childbearing years, assuming she follows the age-specific fertility rates of a given year.
Crude Birth Rate (CBR): This is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population over a specific period, usually one year. It is a simpler measure but less precise than TFR.
Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR): This measures the fertility rate of women in specific age groups, providing a more detailed picture of fertility patterns.
