Answer the following questions based on the above hypothetical data.

What is the age specific fertility rate for the adolescent age group?

The correct answer is
88.5

Understanding Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR)

The question asks for the age-specific fertility rate (ASFR) for the adolescent age group. In demographic contexts, the adolescent age group is typically considered as 15-19 years.

ASFR Calculation Formula

The Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) for a specific age group is calculated using the following formula:

$ \text{ASFR}_{x} = \frac{\text{Number of Births to women aged } x}{\text{Mid-year population of women aged } x} \times 1000 $

Where, for this question, '$x$' refers to the age group 15-19.

Data Extraction for Adolescent Age Group

From the provided table, the relevant data for the 15-19 age group is:

  • Number of Births (15-19): 2820
  • Mid-year women Population (15-19): 4641720

Determining the Adolescent ASFR

Applying the ASFR formula to the data for the 15-19 age group:

$ \text{ASFR}_{15-19} = \frac{2820}{4641720} \times 1000 $

The age-specific fertility rate for the adolescent age group (15-19 years) is 88.5.
