birthrate

Babies per thousand

Birthrate is the number of births in a population over a given period, typically expressed per thousand people per year.

It serves as a key demographic indicator: The birthrate has been declining in developed countries.

High birthrates strain resources; low birthrates raise concerns about aging populations and workforce shortages.
