Age of mother attained at the last birthday
preceding delivery.
Age-specific fertility rate (ASFR) is the number
of live births per 1,000 females in a specific age group. Five-year
age groups were used in these tabulations (ranging from 15 to 19 years
to 45 to 49 years).
Live births to females under 20 years
of age per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19.
Total fertility rate is an estimate of the
average number of live births a female can be expected to have in her lifetime,
based on the age-specific fertility rates (ASFR) of a given year. The total
fertility rate (TFR) = SUM of single year of age-specific fertility rates.
