Birth and Fertility
Period measures: ASFR (age-specific fertility rates): the number of births per year by women of a specified age
TFR (total fertility rate) (calculated from ASFRs): it is a weighted sum obtained by adding together the ASFRs for each cohort
GRR (gross reproduction rate) (similar to TFR): that difference is that only female births are considered
NRR (net reproduction rate): average number of daughters a woman will have if (1) she has children during her reproductive years and (2) her daughters survive to an age at which they can bear at least one daughter
GFR (general fertility rate): the number of births that occur in a population during a year per 1,000 women of childbearing ages alive at midyear
CWR (child woman ration): general fertility experience of all women of childbearing age in relation to the number of living children
birth: the event from the perspective of the newborn; an individual coming into the world at a specific time, and it happens once in a lifetime
fertility: the status of the parent, almost universally the mother

reproduction: the capacity for a population or subpopulation to sustain its size from generation to generation
