Brith Rate= Number of
Births/Annual Average Number of Population
Number of births refers to live births i.e. the births when babies
had showed any vital phenomena regardless of the length of pregnancy.
Annual average number of population is the average of the number

formula is used:
Death Rate =Number of Deaths/ Annual Average Number of Population
Natural Growth Rate of Population refers to the ratio of natural increase
in population(number of births minus number of deaths)in a certain period of
time(usually a year)to the average population(or mid year population)of the
same period which is often expressed in‰. The following formula is applied:
Natural Growth Rate of Population= Number of Births-Number of
Deaths / Average Number of Population
Natural Growth Rate of Population=Birth Rate-Death Rate
