All women factor (only needed with ever-married samples) |
Numerator divided by denominator multiplied by 100. In ever-married samples, the denominator is adjusted by the all women factor.
Not applicable—Number of children ever born is not allowed to have missing values.
The mean number of children ever born to women age 40-49 provides an estimate of completed fertility that can be compared with current total fertility to indicate fertility change. In ever-married samples, never-married women are assumed to have never given birth.
