Population and Housing

 
Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR): the number of births to women of a given age group per
              1,000 women in that age group. It is calculated by dividing the number of births born
               to women of a particular age group by the female population in that age group
               multiplied by 1,000.
Crude Birth Rate : the number of births per 1,000 population in a given year.
Fertility: the actual reproductive performance of an individual, a couple, a group, or a
               population.
Fertility Rate (General Fertility Rate): the number of births per 1,000 women aged 15-49
              years in a given year.
Total Fertility Rate:  is a fertility index combining age-specific fertility rates. It represents the
             average number of children that would be born to a woman throughout her lifetime
             given that the age-specific fertility rates still prevail at that time. It is computed using
             the formula TFR =5å ASFR  if 5-year age groups are employed or TFR - å ASFR if
             single age group is employed.
Growth Rate : the rate at which a population is increasing (or decreasing) in a given year due
            to natural increase and net migration, expressed as a percentage of the base
            population.
Household : a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep
            in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and
            consumption of food.
Life Expectancy: represents the average remaining number of years for a person who
            survives at the beginning of a given age interval. Most commonly cited as life
            expectancy at birth.
Life Expectancy At Birth : the average number of years a person is expected to live from the
            time of his/her birth.
Migration: the movement from one place to another (especially from one country to another)
            usually with intention to settle.
Net Migration Rate : is the difference between in-migration and out-migration rates. It
            represents the difference between the people coming into an area and those going out
           of the area.
Population: total number of individuals in a territory or a locality living at a specified moment
           of time with an agreed definition of residence; all the persons falling within the scope of
           a census or other inquiry.
Population Density: number of persons per unit of land area (square kilometer or square
        mile).
Population Distribution : the patterns of settlement and dispersal of a population.
Population Projections : computation of future changes in population numbers, given certain
           assumptions about future trends in the rates of fertility, mortality, and migration.
