Abstract: Abstract Fertility refers to the reproductive experience of a population. The reproductive experience involves all factors related to sexual behavior, pregnancy, and birth outcome. The number of births as well as the characteristics of those births, along with factors describing the mothers and fathers of babies forms the basis for fertility analysis.
