Total fertility rate (TFR)

Definitions

The total fertility rate (TFR) shows the average number of children a women would have during her lifetime if she were to experience the fertility rates by age observed during a given year. The TFR is the sum of the age-specific fertility rates for all ages defined as fertile (from 15 to 49 years).

The fertility rate by women’s age is the number of births to women aged X years (actual age) divided by the average permanent female population aged X years.
