The birth rate refers to the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population within a specified time frame, typically a year. It is a key demographic indicator used to understand population growth and dynamics.
Birth rates can vary widely between regions and over time due to factors such as socio-economic conditions, cultural norms, access to healthcare, and government policies.
Monitoring birth rates helps policymakers plan for future population trends and allocate resources effectively in areas such as healthcare, education, and social services.
