Definition<\/strong><\/u>
\nThe average number of live births a hypothetical cohort of women would have at the end of their reproductive period if they were subject during their whole lives to the fertility rates of a given period and if they were not subject to mortality. It is expressed as live births per woman.

Method of Calculation<\/strong><\/u>
\n
Data source specific method of calculation:<\/em>
\n
DHS:<\/strong>
\n
Numerator:<\/em>
Number of births that occurred in a period (typically the 1-36 months before the survey) to women aged 15 to 49 years years at the time of the birth.\n
Denominator:<\/em>
Number of women-years of exposure in the same period (1-36 months before the survey) of women aged 15 to 49 years.\n
Calculation:<\/em>
The TFR is the sum of the Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) for all women multiplied by five. The ASFRs are those for the seven five-year age groups from 15-19 to 45-49. The age-specific fertility rate is calculated as the quotient of the numerator divided by the denominator for each age group, multiplied by 1000. The result is an average rate over the 36-month period, expressed as an annual rate per 1000 women.\n
IPUMS:<\/strong>
\nThe number of children that would be born per woman according to current age-specific fertility rates. TFR is the sum of the age-specific fertility rates (expressed as rate per woman) calculated for indicator number 1 multiplied by five to account for five-year age groups. Where available, births during the 12 months preceding the census are identified using the IPUMS BIRTHSLYR variable which corresponds to the census question asking women the number of live births during the last year. For censuses that do not include BIRTHSLYR but do include variables indicating month of last birth, births during the 12 months preceding the census are identified by summing births occuring in the twelve months preceding the month of enumeration. A census month variable is constructed for the purposes of this indicator and will soon be available from IPUMS.

Comments<\/strong><\/u>
\nDHS:<\/strong> The Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) is also known as the Age-Period Fertility Rate. The ASFR is typically calculated for the three years that precede the date of the survey and is presented as an annual rate. The ASFR for women in the age group 15-19 is also known as the Adolescent Birth Rate (ABR). Births to women at ages less than 15 years or more than 49 years at the time of the birth are not included in the calculation of these ASFRs, however births to girls age 10-14 at the time of birth are included in the calculation of the ASFR 10-14. Births in the month of interview are excluded. This exclusion is because this month does not represent a full month but is censored by the date of interview. A three-year (36 month) time period is taken for calculating current AFSR. This period is a compromise between the need for recency and reduction of sampling variation. This time period was selected during the World Fertility Survey, when sample sizes were on average about 5,000 women. For comparability over time and across surveys, this period has been maintained by The DHS Program. No adjustment is made for truncation by age. Women who are at most 49 years at the time of interview were 48 years the year before and 47 years two years before. The reason no adjustment is made is that the tiny probability of women age 48 and 49 years of age giving birth in the three years preceding the survey outweighs the complication of adjusting by single years of age. In line with general DHS policy, no adjustment is made for possible omission or date misreporting of the dates of birth of children or misreporting of the date of birth of the woman. For ever-married samples, it is assumed that never-married women have not had any births. Only the denominator of the rates is adjusted to estimate the number of all women exposed in the age group.\nIPUMS:<\/strong> The Jamaica 1982, Jamaica 1991, Saint Lucia 1980, and Saint Lucia 1991 censuses do not provide fertility information for women attending school full-time. Indicator values have been calculated for these censuses but caution should be used in cross-national comparisons involving these samples. The following censuses collected fertility information for ever-married women only: Iran 2006, Iran 2011, Iraq 1997, Morocco 1982, Morocco 1994, Morocco 2004, Nepal 2001, Nepal 2011, Palestine 1997, Palestine 2007, Philippines 1990, Sudan 2008, Thailand 2000, Turkey 1985. Never-married women are assumed to have 0 live births in these samples except in Nepal 2001, Nepal 2011, Thailand 2000, and Turkey 1985 where never-married women are excluded from fertility indicators.
