Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) for age group 20-24 is calculated as:
A. Total births / Women 20-24 × 1,000
B. Births to women 20-24 / Married women 20-24 × 1,000
C. Births to women 20-24 / Total population × 1,000
D. Births to women 20-24 / Total women 20-24 × 1,000
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
ASFR isolates fertility behavior within specific age groups: (Number of births to women in age group / Mid-year population of women in that age group) × 1,000, enabling detailed fertility pattern analysis.
