Crude birth rate, age-specific and total fertility rates, by geography


Table summary
This table displays the results of crude birth rate. The information is grouped by place of residence of mother (appearing as row headers), age specific fertility rate, crude birth rate, live births, total fertility rate and 15 to  19 years, calculated using 15 to  19 years, 20 to  24 years, 25 to  29 years, 30 to  34 years, 35 to  39 years, 40 to  44 years, 45 to  49 years, rate per 1,000 females, rate per 1,000 population and rate per 1,000 females units of measure (appearing as column headers).

Note 1.

Age of mother attained at the last birthday preceding delivery.

Note 2.

Age-specific fertility rate (ASFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 females in a specific age group. Five-year age groups were used in these tabulations (ranging from 15 to 19 years to 45 to 49 years).

Note 3.

Live births to females under 20 years of age per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19.

Note 4.

Total fertility rate is an estimate of the average number of live births a female can be expected to have in her lifetime, based on the age-specific fertility rates (ASFR) of a given year. The total fertility rate (TFR) = SUM of single year of age-specific fertility rates.
