Birth rate, crude (per 1,000 people)
Annual data series are interpolated from 5-year period data. Therefore they may not reflect real events as much as observed data.
Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births per 1,000 midyear population.
