General Fertility Rate (GFR) is more refined than Crude Birth Rate because it:
A. Uses only women of reproductive age in the denominator
B. Adjusts for infant mortality
C. Is easier to calculate
D. Includes stillbirths
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
GFR restricts the denominator to women aged 15-49, the biologically relevant group for childbearing, providing a more accurate measure of fertility intensity than CBR's total population denominator.
