Definition of Birth Rate

The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Birth Rate: Calculated as the number of births in a given population during a particular year divided by the actual population and then multiplied by 1000 to give a birth rate per 1,000 of the population. The resulting figure is known as the ‘crude birth rate’. Generally, to observe trends and predict population growth, demographers (statistical analysts of population) use ‘fertility rates’ which relate the number of births not to total population but to the population of women in their child-bearing years (usually defined as from 15 to 49 years of age). See: BABY BOOM / FERTILITY RATE in this legal dictionary and in the world encyclopedia of law.
