final years. Data are presented in thousands. |
| Summary indices |
Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) |
Number of male births per one female birth. |
| Summary indices |
Crude Birth Rate (CBR) |
Number of births over a given period divided by the person-years
lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as average
annual number of births per 1,000 population. |
| Summary indices |
Total fertility (TFR) |
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. |
| Summary indices |
Net Reproduction Rate (NRR) |
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. |

Births by Age of Mother |
Number of births over a given period classified by age group of
mother (15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34..45-49). Refers to five-year periods

presented in thousands. |
| Age composition |
Age-specific Fertility Rates (ASFR) |
Number of births to women in a particular age group, divided by the
number of women in that age group. The age groups used are: 15-19,
20-24,.45-49. The data refer to five-year periods running from 1 July to
30 June of the initial and final years. |
