Abstract

INTRODUCTION : Fertility measures the rate at which a population adds to itself by births. This measurement may be related to something eg., total population of the country, total population of the women in the country/region, total women of the child-bearing age i.e.(15-49)yrs. Total married women, etc. If fertility is measured married couples, we will be ignoring births given by unmarried mothers or births which resulted from pregnancies with paramours. The number of births is actually related to exposure to pregnancy. The population of India is the second largest in the world.
