	Birth rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In demography, the crude birth rate of a population is the number of childbirths per 1000 persons per year.
		Birth rate is also sometimes used to refer to the projected average number of children born to each woman over the course of her life.
		Birth rates tend to be higher in less economically developed countries and lower in richer ones.

		The emigration rate from country of origin i is calculated by dividing the expatriate population from that country by the total native-born population of the same country (Native-born(i)= Expatriates(i) + Resident native born(i)).
		Emigration rates by country of birth (Population 15+)
		The emigration rate from country of origin i is calculated by dividing the expatriate population (aged 15+) from that country by the 15+ native-born population of the same country (Native-born(i)= Expatriates(i) + Resident native born(i)).

	Marsden Wagner: The Active Management of Labour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A WHO study revealed enormous variation from country to country in the percent of births with the diagnosis of dystocia: Australia 23 percent, Canada 31.5 percent, Czech Republic 20 percent, Greece 17.4 percent, Israel 9.7 percent, Slovenjia 33.8 percent, United States 22.1 percent (Stephenson 1992).
		In fact, the midwife is the sole birth attendant in 80 percent of births in the Dublin National Maternity Hospital, and yet this midwife seems nearly invisible to the doctors.
		If the belief is that birth is something that women do, then the focus is the woman, not the uterus, and the solutions considered are the means of rallying the woman's powers and improving her labor environment.

	Save the Children: Press Release June 15
		The rankings are based on marriage and birth rates among teenage girls in each country as well as infant mortality rates for children born to teenage mothers.
		Birth rates for adolescent girls in the U.S. are higher than in any other industrialized country.
		Compared to a mother in the top 10 countries, a mother in the bottom 10 countries is 26 times more likely to see her child die in the first year of life and 750 times more likely to die herself in pregnancy or childbirth.

	Is Homebirth Safe? at StorkNet's Homebirth Cubby!
		In the hospital births, there was greater incidence of fetal distress, lacerations to the mother, neonatal infections, forceps delivery, cesarean section, and nine times as many episiotomies.
		In a study of births in the Netherlands in 1986, 41,861 women having their first babies in the hospital had a perinatal mortality rate of 20.2.
		Birth is generally a slow process and there is usually ample time to transport even in the case of a true emergency.

	The World Factbook 2004 - Notes and Definitions
		The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth.
		This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country. The index is calculated from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted against the number of families arranged from the poorest to the richest.
		An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration (e.g., 3.56 migrants/1,000 population); an excess of persons leaving the country as net emigration (e.g., -9.26 migrants/1,000 population).

		Look at the map and list five countries in which life expectancy at birth is less than 50 years, five in which it is between 50 and 59 years, five in which it is 60 to 69 years, and five in which it is 70 years or more.
		Go to the Basic Data Tables, and for each of your countries find the 1998 life expectancy at birth, 1980-98 population growth rate, 1998 GNP per capita, and 1990-96 percentage of population with access to safe water, and write this information in the appropriate columns.

		At the same time, a certain increase in the number of births was registered in the past two years.

	AlterNet: Who's Watching the Watch List?
		I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be a citizen of this country.
		If you're on the list by mistake then they should take you off, if you're not on it by mistake, then they shouldn't let you fly, since after all, that seems to be the point of the list.
		What's frustrating is that the no-fly list only takes into account first and last name, not middle name, date of birth, social security number, passport number, etc. So everyone with his first and last name (it's a very common name) is supposedly on the no-fly list.

		We moved Ashe to our "inactive" list because -- by March 2004 -- he had yet to qualify for any primary ballots and did not appear to be attempting to gain ballot access.
		His high negative ratings in his home state and his poor performance (albeit successful, over an opponent even more disliked than himself) in the 2002 re-election race largely ended his flirtation with making a presidential run.

	Nat' Academies Press, Improving Birth Outcomes: Meeting the Challenge in the Developing World (2003)
		Thus, for example, a 1982 study from southern Brazil reported an overall infant mortality rate of 38.1 per 1,000 live births, an IUGR rate of 9.0 percent, and a preterm birth rate of 6.3 percent.
		In Bangladesh, on the other hand, a 1993-1996 study reported an infant mortality rate of 107.3 per 1,000, and IUGR and preterm birth rates of 69.2 and 17.1 percent, respectively (Arifeen, 1997).
		A true smaller increase in preterm birth appears to be associated with increasing obstetric intervention (induction and cesarean section), multiple gestation (secondary to treatment of infertility), and demographic changes (older maternal age, more unmarried mothers) (Joseph et al., 1998; Kramer et al., 1998; Demissie et al., 2001).

		The average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future.
		Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages.
		It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.

	FuturePundit: South Korea Birth Rate Hits New Low Of 1.15
		Last year, the total fertility rate (TFR) among Korean women was the lowest in the world, at 1.19, a figure much lower than the average 1.6 to 1.7 for OECD member countries and significantly lower than the 2.1 needed to maintain the current population level in this country.
		The population growth is forecast to record a negative growth rate of 0.2 percent in 2030 as the number of newly born babies would continue to decline in the future.
		The most likely scenario for this legislation to be enacted is in a country suffering from demographic collapse such as the former Soviet Union where African death rates have combined with European birth rates to produce the demographic equivalent of nuclear holocaust.

	Population Decline, Birth & Death Rates - Johnson's Russia List 6-20-02 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		If the current birth and death rates, and lack of immigration into Russia are to continue, Russia's population will, by 2050, drop from today's figure (144.2 million) to a mere 86.5 million, a decrease of almost 50%.
		This was announced at a seminar entitled "Diaspora and Migration; Two Communicating Vessels", by Alexandra Dokuchayeva, head of the Diaspora Department of the Institute of CIS Countries.
		She said that the birth-rate over the last decade has decreased by 10.5 million, to add to which, more than half a million people have emigrated over that time to other countries of the former Soviet Union.

		These are the largest reasons for Koreas declining birth rate and the move from rural to urban areas.
