MEASUREMENTS OF ASPECTS OF FERTILITY RATE
General Fertility Rate (GFR) Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
GENERAL FERTILITY RATE (GFR) Number of live births per 1000 women
age 15-49 in a given year
Number of births/year * 1000 Number of women ages 15 to 49
AGE SPECIFIC FERTILITY RATE Number of births per year per 1000
women of a specific age (group)
Number of births to a woman age a *1000
Number of women age a
TOTAL FERTILITY RATE (TFR) The average number of children that
would be born to a woman by the time she ended childbearing if she were to pass through all her childbearing years conforming to the age-specific fertility rates of a given year
Number of women * 1000 Number of births
GRAPH SHOWING TOTAL FERTILITY RATE AND LEVELS OF EDUCATION
NET REPRODUCTION RATE (NRR) Average number of daughters that
would be born to a woman if she passed through her life-time from birth to the end of her reproductive years conforming to the age-specific fertility and mortality rates of a given year
REPLACEMENT FERTILITY Replacement fertility is the total fertility
rate at which women would have only enough children to replace themselves and their partner.
Replacement Level Fertility is said to have been reached when NRR=1.0
