Notes:

(1) This table includes the 196 countries and territories with a population of 100,000 or more in 2010.

(2) Number of births in 1000.

(3) Number of births over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of births per 1,000 population.

(4) Sex Ratio at Birth: Number of male births per 100 female birth

(5) The mean age at childbearing is the mean age of mothers at the birth of their children if women were subject throughout their lives to the age-specific fertility rates observed in a given year.

(6) 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.

(7) The average number of daughters 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 and the mortality rates of a given period. It is expressed as number of daughters per woman.
