This indicator shows the number of births per 1,000 population.
Why is this important?
The birth rate is one of the most basic and important measures in demography. But its relevance is not limited to just demographers. Birth rates affect public policy and budgeting for education and health systems, and can have major impacts on the well-being of a country’s population. Governments, policymakers, and the news media are concerned about birth rates, because the rates are seen as either being too high or too low.
