specific birth rate

specific birth rate

...However, in reality, the denominator P does not only consist of people who can become pregnant, regardless of sex or age. In other words, this rate varies depending on the proportion of women of childbearing age in the population (including unmarried and married), and it is not always possible to determine the specific age range of ``childbearing age.'' For these reasons, caution is required when making comparisons between two countries. There are also specific birth rates, such as birth rates by mother's age, birth order, urban and rural areas, race, and high and low rate areas, as well as crude fertility rates (called female fertility rates or total fertility rates) and (un)married fertility rates. However, since it is difficult to obtain population by marital status every year, strictly speaking, these statistics are controversial. The birth rate, along with the death rate, can be said to be a statistic that determines the increase or decrease of the population.
