- In 2000, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) for B.C. was 1,377 births per 1,000 women of child bearing age
(15 to 44 years of age).
- Based on the Total Fertility Rate, the average woman in 2000 would have 1.4 live births in her lifetime, the lowest fertility rate in recent years. This is a significant decrease from the peak in 1959, when the average woman would have had nearly 4.0 live births in her child bearing years.
