Question

Birth rate is called
A. Mortality
B. Vital index
C. Natality
D. Viability

Answer 1

Hint:- Birth rate, as well as the death rate, is very important. They help to keep our population as balanced as they can. We couldn't live as a species if there was no birth rate, if there wasn't a death rate, we couldn't survive because we'd run out of money. To find populations, we use these rates and also to predict how capital in various circumstances can hold out.

Complete answer:
The crude birth rate in a particular period is the total number of live births per one thousand population divided by the duration of the period in years. The number of live births is generally taken from a universal birth registration system, the population counts from a census and estimates through advanced demographic techniques. For the estimation of population growth, the birth rate along with death and migration rates is used. The total birth rate is usually indicated as births per 1,000 population, separated from a set of age-specific rates (the number of births per 1,000 people, especially 1,000 women, in each age group). The first recorded use in English of the word "birth rate" was in 1859.
Another term used for birth rate is natality. Therefore the correct answer is option C ‘Natality’.

Note:- The birth rate is an issue of concern and strategy for national governments. Some governments provide financial rewards or the provision of support services to new mothers, intending to increase the birth rate. In comparison, other nations have strategies to reduce the birth rate. Policies to raise the crude birth rate are known as pro-natalist policies, and anti-natalist policies are known as policies to reduce the crude birth rate.
