Answer 1

The general fertility rate of females in child bearing period is 567.84.

• The General fertility rate is calculated among females that are in their childbearing period.
• According to WHO, the childbearing period for females is defined as between the age of 15-49 years.
• The general fertility rate is calculated by dividing the number of children born in a particular year by the number of females in child bearing period in the mid way of that year. It is then multiplied by 100.
• The number of females of their childbearing age in the midway of the year 2010 A.D. is (242732+244986)/2 = 243859
• So, the general fertility rate = (138475/243859) × 1000) = 567.84.

Hence, the general fertility rate is calculated by dividing the number of children born in 2010 A.D. i.e. 138475 by the number of females of reproductive age in the midway of the year 2010 (i.e. 243859) and then multiplying by 1000. We will get a 567.84 general fertility rate.
