Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

Introduction to Total Fertility Rate (TFR) Calculator

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a measure of the average number of children a woman would have during her reproductive years based on current birth rates. It is calculated by dividing the total number of live births during a specified period by the total population of women of childbearing age in that same period. TFR is an important indicator for demographic analysis and population studies.

Parameter usage:

• totalBirths = total number of live births
• totalPopulation = total population of women of childbearing age

Output:

• TFR = Total Fertility Rate

Data validation

The numbers should be non-negative, and the totalBirths should be less than or equal to totalPopulation.

Summary

This calculator takes into account the total number of live births and the total population of women of childbearing age to compute the Total Fertility Rate (TFR). It is a crucial parameter for demographic and population studies.
