DEMOGRAPHIC CYCLE
female male
Age Pyramid
Sex Ratio
No of females per 1000 males
Affected by mortality in different genders, sex selective migration,
sex ratio at birth, foeticides
Overall Child sex ration (0-6 years)
2001 Census- 933 2001 census - 927.
2011 Census- 940 2011 census - 914
Maternal deaths – 10
• Calculate the following: -
• Crude birth rate
c) IMR – 270/3200*1000=84.4/1000 LB
35-44 1400 90
(d) What is the difference between General and Total fertility rate
(e) Comment on suitability of crude birth rate to compare two populations
Key
a) CBR – 840/30000*1000=28/1000 pop
c) GFR – 840/5200*1000=161.5per1000women
d) GFR is restricted to female population of childbearing age however, all women are not
exposed to pregnancy whereas TFR gives average number of children a women would have, if she
passes the same fertility pattern. It gives a picture of complete family size.
d) MMR – 120/30000*1lac=400/lac LB
e) Perinatal mortality rate is defined as number of deaths of infants<7 days of age and
fetal deaths >28 weeks of gestation per 1000 live births. Weight>1 kg and crown to heel length
>35 cm
