Population Bulletin of the United Nations
|January 1, 1991
Abstract:
"This article discusses two measures of cohort-size variations: the age-standardized cohort size, and the growth rate of the number of births.... The usefulness of the two measures in analysing recent demographic trends is demonstrated....[The author] discusses meanings and usefulness of the ratio of the crude birth rate (CBR)/total fertility rate (TFR) in studying the effects of age structure changes on population growth." The geographical scope is worldwide, with particular attention to China, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand.
