From 1950 to 1955, the worldwide crude birth rate was just under 37 births per thousand people, which means that 3.7 percent of the population, who were alive during this time had been born in this five year period. Between this five year period, and the time between 2015 and 2020, the crude birth rate has dropped to 18.5 births per thousand people, which is fifty percent of what the birth rate was seventy years ago. This change has come as a result of increased access and reliability of contraception, a huge reduction in infant and child mortality rate, and increased educational and vocational opportunities for women. The continents that have felt the greatest change over this seventy year period are Asia and Latin America, which fell below the global average in the 1990s and early 2000s, and are estimated to have fallen below the crude birth rate of Oceania in the current five-year period. Europe has consistently had the lowest crude birth rate of all continents during the past seventy years, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s, when it fell to just over ten births per thousand, as the end of communism in Europe caused sweeping demographic change across Europe. The only continent that still remains above the global average is Africa, whose crude birth rate is fifteen births per thousand more than the world average, although the rate of decrease is higher than it was in previous decades.

Crude birth rates, age-specific fertility rates and total fertility rates (live births), 2000 to most recent year.

Crude birth rate : The ratio of the number of live births during the year to the average population in that year. The value is expressed per 1 000 population. Total fertility rate : Mean number of children that would be born alive to a woman during her lifetime if she were to pass through and survive her childbearing years conforming to the fertility rates by age of a given year. Description copied from catalog.inspire.geoportail.lu.

Definition:The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births per 1,000 population.Method of measurementThe crude birth rate is generally computed as a ratio. The numerator is the number of live births observed in a population during a reference period and the denominator is the number of person-years lived by the population during the same period. It is expressed as births per 1,000 population. Method of estimation:Data are taken from the most recent UN Population Division's "World Population Prospects".

Graph and download economic data for Crude Birth Rate for the United States (SPDYNCBRTINUSA) from 1960 to 2023 about birth, crude, rate, and USA.

In the United States, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 48.3 live births per thousand people, meaning that 4.8 percent of the population had been born in that year. Between 1815 and 1825 the crude birth rate jumped from 46.5 to 54.7 (possibly due to Florida becoming a part of the US, but this is unclear), but from this point until the Second World War the crude birth rate dropped gradually, reaching 19.2 in 1935. Through the 1940s, 50s and 60s the US experienced it's baby boom, and the birth rate reached 24.1 in 1955, before dropping again until 1980. From the 1980s until today the birth rate's decline has slowed, and is expected to reach twelve in 2020, meaning that just over 1 percent of the population will be born in 2020.

In Mexico, the crude birth rate in 1900 was 47 live births per thousand people, meaning that 4.7 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the first half of the twentieth century the crude birth rate of Mexico fluctuates, between 41 and 48, before gradually declining from 1955 until today. Improved living conditions, economic opportunities and education have led to a decrease in Mexico's crude birth rate, and it is expected to fall below 18 births per thousand in 2020.

The crude birth rate in Sweden decreased gradually since 2010. In 2023, it dropped below 10 births per 1,000 inhabitants. The crude birth rate is defined as the number of live births in a given geographical area in a given time period, per thousand mid-year population. As with the birth rate in Sweden, the fertility rate has also been declining over the past decade. Increasing population Even though the crude birth rate and the fertility rate in Sweden are declining, the population in Sweden is still growing. This is partly due to fewer deaths than births, but also due to the positive migration flow of more immigrants coming to Sweden than the number of people emigrating. Babies born The number of babies born depends on the number of women in reproductive age living in the country. The number of babies born reached a record-low 100,000 in 2023.

In Denmark, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 29.9 live births per thousand people, meaning that approximately three percent of the population had been born in that year. Over the next century, the crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 29 and 33, before dropping consistently in the first few decades of the 1900s. Between 1935 and 1965, the decline stopped, and Denmark's crude birth rate increased from 17.2 in 1935 to 20.9 by 1950, and the decline did not continue until the late 1960s. Between 1965 and 1985, the crude birth rate dropped from 17.3 to 10.4 births per thousand people, which is the lowest recorded number in Denmark's history. It did increase over the next two decades, however it then dropped again in the last decade, and is expected to be 10.7 in 2020.

In Poland, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 43.6 live births per thousand people, meaning that approximately 4.4 percent of the population had been born in that year. Throughout Poland's history, including the area of modern-day Poland that did not exist as a state until 1918, the crude birth rate has gradually decreased over the past 220 years, however it did fluctuate greatly over this period. In the nineteenth century, modern-day Poland was a part of many other states and empires, such as Austria, Germany, Lithuania and Russia, and the crude birth rate fluctuated between 38 and 48 throughout this period. In the twentieth century, Poland's crude birth rate declined, particularly before and during both World Wars, and in both cases there was a baby boom in the aftermath of the war. The rate did grow in the 1970s and 80s, however the fall of communism in 1989 caused the birth rate to drop again, reaching its lowest point of 9.4 in 2005. Since 2005, the crude birth rate has increased above ten again, but is expected to drop to 9.9 in 2020.

In Norway, the crude birth rate in 1800 was thirty live births per thousand people, meaning that three percent of the population had been born in that year. In the nineteenth century, Norway's crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 27 and 34 births per thousand people, during a time of war, independence and industrialization. From the turn of the twentieth century until 1935, the crude birth rate dropped from just under thirty in 1900, to 15.2 in 1935. During and after the Second World War, Norway experienced a baby boom, where the rate increased to over twenty children per thousand people in the late 1940s, and it did not fall back to it's pre-war level until the late 1970s. From 1980 onwards, the crude birth rate of Norway remained between eleven and fourteen, and in 2020 it is expected to fall to it's lowest level of 11.1 births per thousand people.

In Sweden, the crude birth rate in 1800 was just under 29 live births per thousand people, meaning that roughly 2.9 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the nineteenth century, Sweden experienced various population-influencing events, such as separate wars with Norway and Russia, several smallpox epidemics, mass migration to the US, and industrialization. In this time, the crude birth rate fluctuated between 27 and 36 births per thousand. Between 1875 and 1935 this rate decreased consistently from 30.7 to 14.1. Sweden's crude birth rate stopped falling around the time of the Second World War, and rose to almost nineteen in 1945, before plateauing in the mid-teens between 1955 and 1970, where the decline then resumed. There was another brief increase during the late 1980s and 90s, however these numbers then dropped to their lowest recorded figure of 10.4 in the year 2000, and in 2020 the crude birth rate of Sweden is expected to be just under twelve births per thousand people.

In France, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 29.4 live births per thousand people, meaning that 2.9 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the first half of the nineteenth century France's crude birth rate dropped from it's highest recorded level of 29.4 in 1800, to 21.9 by 1850. In the second half of the 1800s the crude birth rate rose again, to 25.5 in 1875, as the Second Republic and Second Empire were established, which was a time of economic prosperity and the modernization of the country. From then until 1910 there was a gradual decline, until the First World War caused a huge decline, resulting in a record low crude birth rate of 13.3 by 1920 (the figures for individual years fell even lower than this). The figure then bounced back in the early 1920s, before then falling again until the Second World War. After the war, France experienced a baby boom, where the crude birth rate reached 22.2, before it dropped again until the 1980s, and since then it has declined slowly. The crude birth rate of France is expected to reach a new, record low of 11.2 in 2020.

The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is defined as the number of live births per thousand population. It is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. Primary source of data for births and deaths is the registration of births and deaths under Civil Registration System (CRS) of the Office of Registrar General, India (ORGI). Since the reporting of births under CRS is not complete, ORGI estates CBR annually through Sample Registration System, a large scale demographic Survey Conducted by them.

In Finland, the crude birth rate in 1800 was approximately 35 live births per thousand people, meaning that 3.5 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the nineteenth century, Finland's crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 31 and 36 births per thousand people, before it gradually began to decline throughout the twentieth century. The sharpest decrease came between 1910 and 1935, where the crude birth rate dropped from 33.6 to 19, before Finland experienced a baby boom after the Second World War. After the baby boom, the crude birth rate dropped sharply, similar to how it did in the decades before the war, and it was below thirteen births per thousand in1975. The rate of decline slowed after this point, and there were some periods of slight increase, although Finland's crude birth rate is expected to fall below ten, for the first time ever, in 2020.

Standard 5. The characteristics, distribution and migration of human populations on the earth’s surface influence human systems (cultural, economic and political systems).Objectives: Students will be able to:

1. Identify the major demographic indicators that indicate a high or low population growth rate.
2. Compare/contrast the regions of the world using demographic indicators such as growth rate, natural increase, fertility rate, crude birth rates, and crude death rates
3. Identify the regions of the world with the highest and lowest birth rates.
4. Analyze the three means to control population growth: increase death rate, decrease birth rate and government laws.Summary: Students will analyze demographic data from the Population Reference Bureau and determine which areas of the world contain the fastest and slowest population growth rates. Students will determine that the fastest growth rates are in Northern and Eastern Africa and the slowest growth rates are found in Eastern Europe. Students will write an editorial on the best means to control population.
