Fertility rate
The fertility rate at a given age (or for an age bracket) is the number of live children born to women of the age in question in the course of the year, as a proportion of the average population of women of the same age over the year in question. By extension, the fertility rate is the ratio between the number of live births in a year and the whole female population of childbearing age (average number of women between 15 and 50 years of age over the year). Unlike total period fertility, the fertility rate is partly dependent on trends in the age structure of women between the ages of 15 and 50.
