Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a period measure that assumes:
A. Mortality rates remain constant
B. Women will experience current age-specific fertility rates throughout their lives
C. All women marry at the same age
D. Migration is zero
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
TFR sums current ASFRs to estimate completed fertility for a hypothetical cohort, assuming no future changes in age-specific fertility behavior, making it a snapshot of current fertility intensity.
Explanation:
GFR = (Live births in a year / Mid-year population of women aged 15-49) × 1,000, standardizing fertility measurement to the population at risk of childbearing.
