Important Points

Crude birth rate
- indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear.
Crude Death Rate
- Calculated as the number of deaths in a given period divided by the population exposed to the risk of death in that period.
- For human populations the period is usually one year.
Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
