Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crude birth rate is the term used to describe the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year. This measure is "crude" because it does not take into account the age distribution of the population or other factors that may affect fertility rates. The total fertility rate (A) is a measure of how many children a woman is expected to have over the course of her reproductive years, and is typically expressed as the number of children per woman. Age-specific rates (C) are rates that are specific to particular age groups, and may be used to examine patterns of fertility or mortality within a population. Nonrefined fertility (D) is not a recognized term in demography, and likely does not refer to a specific measure of fertility.
