Fertility
What does fertility mean and what is the total fertility rate in Denmark? The statistics on fertility rates indicate the number of children born by 1,000 women in a given year. In this way, comparison of the figures between years is more reliable, as the number of births is evaluated against the number of women in the same age group.
