TRENDS OF TOTAL FERTILITY RATES
British Columbia and Canada, 1950 - 2001
HIGHLIGHTS TO TABLE 3/FIGURE 5
- In 2001, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) for B.C. was 1,373 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 2001 would have 1.4 live births in her lifetime. This has been the same fertility rate for the past four 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.
