Birth Rate

The birth rate is typically the rate of births in a population overtime.The rate of births in a population is calculated in several ways:live births from a universal registration system for births, deaths,and marriages; population counts from a census, and estimationthrough specialized demographic techniques. The birth rate (alongwith mortality and migration rate) are used to calculate population

growth.The crude birth rate is the number of births per 1,000 people peryear. Another term used interchangeably with birth rate is natality.When the crude death rate is subtracted from the crude birth rate,the result is the rate of natural increase (RNI). This is equal to therate of population change (excluding migration).

Crude birth rate

The Birth rate; crude (per 1;000 people) in Malaysia was last reported at 20.27 in2010, according to a World Bank report published in 2012. Crude birth rateindicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 populationestimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rateprovides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population

change in the absence of migration.This page includes a historical data chart, newsand forecasts for Birth rate; crude (per 1;000 people) in Malaysia. Malaysia is arapidly developing economy in Asia. Malaysia, a middle-income country, hastransformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into anemerging multi-sector economy. The Government of Malaysia is continuing effortsto boost domestic demand to wean the economy off of its dependence on exports.

Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics - remain a significant driver of theeconomy.

Factors affecting birth rate

Government population policy, such aspronatalistor antinatalistpolicies (for

instance, a tax on childlessness

Availability of family planningservices, such as birth controland sex

education

Availability and safety of abortionand the safety of childbirth

Infant mortalityrate: A family may have more children if a country's infant

mortality rate is high, since it is likely some of those children will die.

to contraceptionand abortion

Industrialization: In a preindustrial agrarian economy, unskilled (or

semiskilled) manual labor was needed for production; children can be viewedas an economic resource in developing countries, since they can earn

money. As people require more training, parents tend to have fewer children

and invest more resources in each child; the higher the level of technology,

the lower the birth rate (the demographic-economic paradox).

Economic prosperityor economic difficulty: In difficult economic times,couples delay (or decrease) childbearing.
