daughters per woman. |
|
Total fertility |
The average number of children a hypothetical cohort of women
would have at the end of their reproductive period if they were
subject during their whole lives to the fertility rates of a
given period and if they were not subject to mortality. It is
expressed as children per woman. |
|

The mean age at
childbearing is the mean age of mothers at the birth of their

cohort of individuals who would be subject during all their
lives to the mortality rates of a given period. It is expressed
as years. |
|

period, divided by the person-years lived by the population of
the receiving country over that period. It is expressed as net
number of migrants per 1,000 population. |
