<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>DHS:</strong><br> <br><em>Numerator:</em><br> Number of women aged 20 to 24 years who gave birth by age 15 includes women who gave birth before earlier specific ages, e.g. the number of women who gave birth before age 18 includes those who gave birth before age 15. Number of women with no births are included in a separate category.
<br><em>Denominator:</em><br> Number of all women aged 20 to 24 years, irrespective of marital status or whether they ever had a birth. Ever to married sample denominators are adjusted by the all women factors.
<br><em>Calculation:</em><br> Numerators for each exact aged category are divided by the overall denominator and multiplied by 100.<br></p>

<p><u><strong>Comments</strong></u><br>
Percentages are not calculated for the exact ages at first birth categories by cohorts of women where the youngest member of the cohort has not yet reached the exact age of the category. For example, percentages for the cohort of women age 20-24 at the time of the survey will not be calculated for exact age categories 22 and 25 because some women without births are still in or below the exact ages and could still have first births before the specific age.<br></p> |
