birth rates
Babies per capita
Birth rates measure how many babies are born in a population over a given period, typically expressed as births per thousand people per year.
The term usually appears in discussions of demographics, economics, or social policy: declining birth rates in developed countries, policies to boost birth rates.
High birth rates strain resources; low ones threaten workforce replacement.
