live births
Babies born alive
Live births refers to infants born showing signs of life—breathing, heartbeat, or voluntary movement—regardless of gestational age.
The term distinguishes from stillbirths in vital statistics and medical contexts: The country recorded 3.6 million live births last year.
Birth rates and fertility measures typically count only live births.
