Calculate Crude Birth Rate



Formula

The formula to calculate the Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is:

\[ CBR = \frac{LB}{MP} \times 1000 \]

Where:

Crude Birth Rate Definition

The crude birth rate is a measure of the number of live births occurring during a year per 1,000 people in a given population. It is an important demographic indicator used in population studies and public health.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Crude Birth Rate:

\[ CBR = \frac{500}{100000} \times 1000 = 5 \, \text{births/1000 people} \]

This demonstrates that with a total number of live births of 500 and a total midyear population of 100,000, the crude birth rate would be 5 births per 1,000 people.
