Notes | <p>Live births by local authority of usual residence of mother, General Fertility Rates and Total Fertility Rates.</p>
<p>The general fertility rate (GFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15-44. Rates are based on the most up-to-date population estimates.</p> <p>The General Fertility Rate (GFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15-44.</p> <p>The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is the average number of live children that a group of women would bear if they experienced the age-specific fertility rates of the calendar year in question throughout their childbearing lifespan.</p> <p>The TFR has been calculated using the number of live births and the 2006 mid-year population estimates (sub-nationally) and the 2006-based 2007 projections (nationally) for women by single year of age. This generally produces a better match of births to those at risk of having births. However, local authority level population estimates are only considered reliable in five-year age bands. Thus, especially in small local authorities, it should be noted that rates computed using single year of age data may produce spurious results.</p> <p>City of London has been grouped with Hackney after 2004.</p> <p>Read more on the <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vsob1/birth-summary-tables--england-and-wales/index.html">ONS website</a></p> |
