General Fertility Rate (GFR) improves upon CBR by:
A. Restricting the denominator to women aged 15-49 years
B. Including stillbirths in the numerator
C. Adjusting for infant mortality
D. Using mid-year population of both sexes
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
GFR = (Live births / Women aged 15-49) × 1,000, focusing on the biologically relevant population for childbearing, making it a more refined fertility measure than CBR.
Explanation:
Life expectancy is derived from life tables constructed using age-specific death rates, which rely on vital statistics data on deaths and population by age.
