The idea
The crude birth rate is live births per thousand people in a year; the crude death rate, deaths per thousand. The rate of natural increase is births minus deaths, excluding migration. Morbidity is disease within a population; mortality, deaths.
In practice
Thirty births, ten deaths: two percent natural increase.
Where people slip
Crude because unadjusted for age structure.
