Where:

CBR: Crude birth rate;

B: Total live births in the reference period (Total of children were born
alive in the reference period);

P tb: Population up to the reference time-point.

Total fertility rate (TFR)
Total fertility rate reflects the average number of live births that would be
born per woman during the childbirth period if the woman passes age-specific

fertility rates observed in a given reference period during the reproductive period.

Formula by age group:
49
TFR   B x
x 15 W x
Where:

TFR: Total fertility rate (Children per woman);

B x : Number of live births registered in the year of women aged (x);

: One-year age interval;

W x: Number of women aged (x) at the calculation mid-year.

Age specific fertility rates are accumulated from x =15 to x =49.

In fact, the total fertility rate is calculated by the abridged method. In case
the age specific fertility rates are calculated for 5-year age groups, index of (i)
represents the 5-years interval of age, such as 15-19, 20-24, ... , 45-49.
Formula by 5-year interval of age:

TFR  5   B i
i 1 W i

Where:

TFR: Total fertility rate;
