Factors determining fertility

For 2003, the birthrate indicator in Greece was 1.27 children per woman, the same as in 2002, while in 1980 it was 2.21 children per woman.

Why control the births when we can increase the deaths?

The adolescents contribute approximately with 13, 4 of total births occur in the country annually.

Average fertility in the region is currently 2.5 children per woman.

292. Although the average number of children has declined among women in both urban and rural areas, what was regarded as the traditional urban rural differential in the number of children was maintained until the early 1980s, when there was a slackening in the overall fertility rate of urban women, accompanied by a slight increase in the rate of decline among rural women (Table XXIV).

The fertility rates per 1,000 women varied by age and were at their highest among the 25 29 age group (177 births).

The lack of access can contribute to high rates of infant and maternal mortality, fertility and malnutrition, indicators that are closely associated with women's level of education.

(c) Unchecked fertility, with a gross birth rate of 50 per 1,000 and a gross reproduction rate of 3.7 daughters per woman

On average, these countries have a fertility of about 4 children per woman, considerably higher than that in Latin America and the Caribbean and in India.

In developed countries, fertility declined much earlier than in the developing world and has been very low (below 2 children per woman) since the 1980s.

Fertility rates according to 2001 statistics

All these factors contribute to high levels of fertility, morbidity and mortality, as well as to low economic productivity.

Impact of abortion on lower fertility rate.

During the period 1967 1970, the TFR was 5.6, which was cut almost in half in the period 1995 1997. Currently, the TFR is 2.6 (SDKI 2002).

Nowadays, the fertility rate among the poorest women is 4.0 children by contrast with the rate of 1.6 for women enjoying better socio economic conditions.

Little enrolment by girls in technical and postsecondary education.

With regard to health, fertility rates had decreased, as had maternal and infant mortality rates.

The process of decline in fertility, particularly starting in the 80s, was generalized throughout all regions and social strata.

Implementation of the national health policy through the Primary Health Care Programme has produced improvements in

The total fertility rate is 3.41 children born per woman.

Despite the progress made in reducing the total fertility rate, there are still significant differences between desired and actual fertility, which are related to women's level of education, place of residence, income and ethnic group.

The TFR in China and India was 6.1 and 5.9, respectively, in 1950. It now stands at 1.8 in China, owing to the authorities aggressive one child policy, while rapid urbanization and changing social attitudes have brought down India s TFR to 2.6.

The total fertility rate in 1995 2000 is estimated to be 6.1 children per woman in reproductive age, with the procreation ages being very precocity.

Since its inception in the 1970s, the programme has made slow and modest gains in terms of declines in the population growth rate and the total fertility rate and an increase in the family planning prevalence rate.
