Fertility Rate and Mortality Rate, Distinguished
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Fertility measures births: crude birth rate is per 1,000 people, general fertility rate is per 1,000 women aged 15–44, total fertility rate is lifetime births per woman; mortality's crude rate is deaths per 1,000 people.
Show
A region's births and deaths in one year show whether population grows or shrinks.
Watch for
Fertility and fecundity differ: fecundity is potential births, fertility is actual.
