natality

Population birth measure

Natality is the birthrate—the ratio of births to population in a given area and time period.

The term appears mainly in demographic and ecological contexts: The natality rate has declined sharply in industrialized nations.

In ecology, natality refers specifically to the production of new individuals in a population through reproduction.
