General fertility rate
Number of live births over a given period of time, relative to the number of women in their child bearing years (15-49)
Age-specific fertility rate
Number of live births in a specific age group of women (typically 5 year intervals: 15, 20-24)
Total fertility rate
Average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime
Cohort measure
Looking at the group of people who experience the same social demographic measures
Gross reproduction rate
Births of daughters
Net reproduction rate
Average number of daughters a women will have including age specific rates and mortality rates of women
Natural increase
Births - deaths
Cause-specific death rate
Calculates the number of deaths due to a specific cause in a given population
Infant mortality rate
Measures infant death under 1 year of age per 1000 live births
Maternal mortality ratio
Number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in a given population
Life span and life expectancy
Biological max humans beings can live until. Influenced by life expectancy: the more people on average who live longer, the life span will increase
Factors affecting Life expectancy: social, economic and cultural factors
Both are used to measure development of countries

The cohort of newborn babies, described as the radix ex: 100,000
Stationary population
Population remains constant in size over time because the number of deaths equal number of births
Net migration
Immigrants — emigrants
Net migration rate
IM — EM
