2. Birth rate, crude
 

Definition

The ratio of the number of births during the year to the average population in that year. The value is expressed per 1000 inhabitants.

Rationale

Basic demographic data. An indicator needed for calculating population growth (together with crude mortality rate).

Relevant policy areas

  • Sustainable health care systems
  • Maternal and perinatal health

3. Mother’s age distribution
 

Definition

Distribution of live births by mother's age at last birthday

Rationale

Both early and late childbearing are associated with higher than averagerates of preterm birth, growth restriction and mortality in the perinatal period.

Relevant policy areas

  • Health inequalities (including accessibility of care)
  • Health system performance, quality of care, efficiency of care, patient safety
  • Maternal and perinatal health
  • Child health (including young adults)

4. Total fertility rate
 

Definition

The mean number of children that would be born alive to a woman during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the fertility rates by age of a given year.

Relevant policy areas

  • Sustainable health care systems
  • Maternal and perinatal health

Rationale

Basic demographic data. The total fertility rate is the completed fertility of a hypothetical generation and is also used to indicate the replacement level fertility, i.e. the fertility needed to compensate mortality loss. In more developed countries, a rate of 2.1 is considered to be replacement level.

5. Population projections
 

Definition

Population projections are what-if scenarios that aim to provide information about the likely future size and structure of the population based on assumptions for fertility, mortality and migration. Population projections expressed in absolute numbers.

Relevant policy areas

  • Sustainable health care systems
  • Healthy ageing, ageing population
  • (Planning of) health care resources

Rationale

Basic demographic data by itself: population projections are predictive measures which implicate that if the hypothetical projection calculation premises are correct, what projected population size and age structure would result in any future year. The current scenario is primarily used in the context of the European Commission’s analysis of the impact of ageing populations on public spending.

1. Population by sex and age


Definition

a) Total population by country, broken down by sex and age
b) Old-age-dependency ratio

Rationale

Basic demographic data are important by themselves and are required for the calculation of many of the other indicators (denominator for rates and ratios). Age structure is also essential for public health planning and scenarios. 

Relevant policy areas

  • Sustainable health care systems
  • Healthy ageing, ageing population
  • (Planning of) health care resources
