Homework Fertility
1. Calculate the crude birth rate (CBR) per 1000, using data for Population X for a
single year:
Total Births in 2000: 18,247
Total female population in 2000: 491,310
Total male population: 493,900
CBR=?
Answer: 18.5 births per 1,000 population
2. Use the following data to calculate the general fertility rate (GFR) per 1,000 women
aged 1544:
Age Group # Women
15-19 52 013
20-24 54 307
25-29 46 990
30-34 40 211
35-39 30 401
40-44 23 496
Total births: 18 247
GFR=?
Answer: 73.7 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44
3. Use the following data to calculate the age-specific fertility rates (ASFR) per 1,000
women in age groups 20-24 and 25-29:
Age
Group #Women #Births
15-19 52 013 1884
20-24 54 307 6371
25-29 46 990 5362

30-34 40 211 2901
35-39 30 401 1170
40-44 23 496 268
Answer:
ASFR(20,5) = 117.3 births per 1,000 women 2024
ASFR(25,5) = 114.1 births per 1,000 women 2529
4. What is the total fertility rate (TFR) for the population below:
Age
Group #Births # Women ASFR per 1000 Answer
15-19 43807 1230396 35.60
20-24 257872 1390077 185.51
25-29 236088 1653183 142.81
30-34 115566 1608925 71.83
35-39 38450 1241967 30.96
40-44 6627 941963 7.04
Total: 473.74
Answer: For 5-year age groups, TFR = (5 x 473.74)/1000 = 2.4 per woman (if she
goes through entire reproductive period following ASFR calculated above, for a
particular year)
5. Draft (by hand) ASFRs from question #4.
x-axis age group; y-axis ASFR per 1000
