The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is a basic demographic indicator that reflects the number of live births in a given population over a specified period, usually one year, per 1,000 people. Here’s how you can calculate it:
CBR=(Number of Births in a YearTotal Population)×1000\text{CBR} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Births in a Year}}{\text{Total Population}} \right) \times 1000CBR=(Total PopulationNumber of Births in a Year)×1000
If a population of 50,000 people had 600 live births in a year:CBR=(60050000)×1000=12 births per 1,000 people\text{CBR} = \left( \frac{600}{50000} \right) \times 1000 = 12 \text{ births per 1,000 people}CBR=(50000600)×1000=12 births per 1,000 people
This means there were 12 live births per 1,000 people in the population during that year.
Calculate the Crude Birth Rate (CBR), which is the number of births per 1,000 people in a given population. [?] CBR = (Number of Births / Population) * 1000
