Method & notes

IN BRIEF

State fertility rates add a forward-looking demographic signal beside current population size and household statistics.

METHOD & LIMITATIONS

PulseKita filters DOSM's state fertility dataset to age_group='tfr', which is the total fertility rate calculated from age-specific fertility rates.

TFR is a period measure: it describes the number of children a hypothetical woman would have if current age-specific fertility rates persisted.
It is not the actual completed family size of women currently living in each state.
Birth registration records from JPN and DOSM population estimates underpin the published rates.
