''Birth rate'' is also sometimes used to refer to the projected average number of children born to each woman over the course of her life. This is more correctly referred to as the total Fertility Rate . Birth rates tend to be higher in less economically developed countries and lower in more economically developed countries. OTHER METHODS OF MEASURING BIRTH RATE General fertility rate (GFR) - This measures the number of births per 1000 women aged 15 to 45 Standardised birth rate (SBR) - This compares the the age-sex structure to a hypothetical standard population. This measure is usually lower than the crude birth rate FACTORS AFFECTING BIRTH RATE
